  1. This game is easily worth full price for the single player alone. You’d be an idiot not to pick it up for $3
  2. The multiplayer is back, like really back, and it slaps just as hard as ever. This is, genuinely, one of my main multiplayer games right now. The fight to the extraction on a loss is one of the most cinematic moments you’ll ever get in a PvP gamemode.

Believe the hype on this one.

Multiplayer actually working? Been having to use a mod to play, but it’s been a while

Voroxpete ,

Servers are back up. No mods needed, you can just log in and play.

SuperSaiyanSwag ,

Multiplayer is amazing, but everyone seems to be way beyond my skill set at this point

This was my experience on the Xbox. Absolutely loved the campaign. Could not get a feel for how to survive mp after a few hours. There was a prolonged respawn and die nearly immediately loop. I uninstalled it after I got what I could from the campaign.

Player2 ,

If you can finish the campaign on Master, you’ll be pretty decent in multiplayer too in short order. Also can recommend Frontier Defense, it’s a multiplayer co-op mode that reinforces good multiplayer skills and allows you to get used to the maps

ugxcw ,

The best tip is to focus on killing ai in the Attrition mode, and stay near teammates. But the wave defense mode is fun too, as you level titans they get overpowered upgrades which would be too unbalanced in versus mode.

IAmNotACat ,

Well I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let some Internet rando think I’m an idiot.

lolcatnip ,

Too late! 😁

EddoWagt ,

Apparently there are 9000 people playing on steam right now. That’s not bad!

Voroxpete ,

Yeah, player counts have been healthy for the last year. I’ve never had to queue more than a few seconds for a game in any mode.

Sold!

BruceTwarzen ,

The game is absolutely amazing. I bought it for 5 dollars. I suddenly couldn’t play it anymore because you still have to deal with some ea bullshit and even refunded these 5 dollars. Game is a 10/10 ea is a 0/10

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Yeah no.

  • EA game should be reason enough not to buy this game.
  • Requires EA launcher
  • Requires EA DRM
  • Requires linked EA account
  • No offline mode, even for single player

You couldn’t pay me to play this game. If you buy this game, you forfeit the right to ever complain about this bullshit because you’re actively encouraging it.

overload ,

Worth it for the campaign alone at 5x that price. I got the game with no expectations years ago and was very impressed.

xpinchx ,

Agreed it’s easily one of my favorite single player campaigns.

jballs ,
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

Do you need to have played the first one for the campaign to make sense?

lolcatnip ,

Not really. I didn’t and it was fine.

overload ,

I still haven’t played the first. It was fine without.

chiliedogg ,

First one didn’t have a campaign. It was online multilayer only.

And the “sequel” to this one is Apex Legends.

Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: EA on-line activation and Origin client software installation and background use required

Requires 3rd-Party Account: EA Account (Supports Linking to Steam Account)

Seems like another cursed EA game with built-in spyware.

ColeSloth ,

You forgot to quote the part where you have to be online for the single player campaign, as well.

It’s a fantastic (though kind of short) campaign, though. Spend the $3, enjoy it a time or two, then Uninstall all the shit.

TBi ,

I bought the game. Then immediately pirated it so I wouldn’t have to install this EA crap.

Cattypat ,
@Cattypat@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

actually a masterpiece of a game, the campaign is so unbelievably worth it, just keep in mind the vanilla multiplayer is unplayable due to ddosing. if you want to play multiplayer, look into the northstar client

Yokozuna ,

I always wondered why the servers were shit. Why are people even doing that to a game server…

gamermanh ,
@gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Multiplayer was fixed like a year ago, I had 5 great matches last night with maybe a bit of lag on some guys, but that’s normal for vidja gamez

Voroxpete ,

Yeah, multiplayer works perfectly out of the box now, no more need for Northstar.

do not make me cry

Voroxpete ,

It’s OK, I made myself cry a little writing it.

BT is goodest boi. 😭

Caboose12000 ,

AFAIK the ddosing was solved/stopped a while who, the multiplayer works great now

NOT_RICK ,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I want a third one more than most any other game. 2 was just so fun

Prox ,

Yeah, we won’t get one as long as whales keep dumping cash into Apex Legends cosmetics.

jayk ,

still not worth installing origin

SatyrSack ,

This is what stops me from picking it up each time I see it drop this low.

_pete_ ,

It’s EA Play now, which is actually somehow worse than Origin was.

Still, Titanfall 2 is actually a great game (probably my favourite of the PS4 era) and is well worth a little suffering for.

PunchingWood ,

For some reason I often have games disappearing from my library, like they don’t even show up as purchased in the store…

And I also recently got a notification on top of my library that some games have been removed from my library, but that I can download them again if I go to the store page. It’s really confusing as to why they are ‘deleted’ and why they can’t just show up in my library.

I hate these dumb ‘user experience’ developments where companies are deciding what I should see in my library. I just want to see all my purchases, and have them available to me whenever I want.

What the deal with EA Play? I see their subscription prices and I’m not doing that. Then below that I see the game for $3.99 CAD. Can I just get the game that way and not deal with any extra EA stuff?

https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/b30a5abe-6cae-47a1-b16c-8fde0595b2eb.png

_pete_ ,

I don’t know for sure in this case but some EA games require you to use EA Play as a launcher, even if you buy the game through Steam.

eezeebee ,
@eezeebee@lemmy.ca avatar

Ah, that makes my decision easier. Thanks for the info!

Virual ,

The desktop app is called “EA App” not “EA Play” which is where the confusion is coming from. “EA Play” is the game subscription service that’s like gamepass.

_pete_ ,

Ah yea, my bad :(

Voroxpete ,

You have to use their launcher, but you don’t have to get any kind of subscription.

absquatulate ,

Is there a way to play this without installing EA spyware?

Nelots ,

I imagine you can avoid the EA shit if you pirate it.

intensely_human ,

Get your friend to buy it and play it at his place

ouch ,

Very linear campaign, but an excellent game. I recommend playing it, but can’t recommend the EA crap.

caut_R ,

It‘s a fantastic fps.

Mwa ,
@Mwa@thelemmy.club avatar

Do I need to play the original game before 2

Charzard4261 ,

Nope! Just jump right into 2’s single player mode and enjoy the ride.

Mwa ,
@Mwa@thelemmy.club avatar

oh alr thank you i might buy it

Mwa ,
@Mwa@thelemmy.club avatar

just relized i need some more money yeah am kinda broke on steam

grandma ,

Do I have to install EA bullshit to play the campaign?

Armageddon ,

yes

grandma ,

Thanks, I will just pirate it then :)

doodledup ,

You came here just to say that. Stop pretending.

grandma ,

Oh no you got me!

InternetUser2012 ,

Welp, that’s a big fat nope for me. Ty.

Dariusmiles2123 ,

This game is really great and its length make it enjoyable many times.

I played 2 years ago when I was still on PlayStation 4 and it looked great.

The soundtrack is also great to listen to.

One of my favorite FOS of the last decade with the killzone and wolfenstein series.

PunchingWood ,

Man, I really should give this game another try. I remember getting it at launch, but completely forgot about it because of other game releases at the time.

Damage ,

Campaign’s mind-blowing

Tedrow ,
@Tedrow@lemmy.world avatar

You can run through the campaign in a few hours, so there’s very little time investment. Give it a shot!

Melvin_Ferd ,

Pair this with some Egyptian club music like dj nir Maimon and it’s the best game in the world

jecht360 ,
@jecht360@lemmy.world avatar

Is this worth it on Xbox One? A used copy is pretty cheap at GameStop. Wouldn’t want it on PC due to EA junk.

northendtrooper ,

The campaign narrative alone is worth that price.
