As a pilot, the player experiences a freedom of movement not often seen, at least in a competitive game, and at least not until other FPS decided to implement versions of the mechanic. That being said, one of the primary aspects of this game that got me hooked and kept me interested was the dual nature of the player character. It’s a lower-commitment form of entertainment. For FPS, I play them, mostly, to run around and shoot things. I love getting elbows-deep in RTS mechanics and systems and figuring out what makes them tick. Let’s get this out of the way first: my enjoyment of Titanfall is pretty low-stakes. I thought that, instead of chaining together a string of tweets, I would take the opportunity to write a short post about the game and share my thoughts with, perhaps, a slightly broader audience. This was met with incredulity from several of my followers, gentlemen who, assuredly, know and care more deeply about the FPS genre than I do. I called the game one of my favorite shooters. Yesterday afternoon, I saw and commented on a tweet from the EAAccess twitter account recommending Titanfall to anyone who might have purchased or received as a gift an Xbox One over the holidays. This post will, also, not be about strategy games, but instead about a first-person shooter: Titanfall.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve metaphorically penned any words here, and I hope to be able to expand the content I produce under the Wayward Strategist brand in 2016.
