About this game
A timer counts down to the Titan: standby for Titanfall, and a mech drops from the sky in a shield for you to climb into. It is a 2014 shooter for the Xbox One and PC, with an Xbox 360 version a month later. It is multiplayer only, and the campaign that carries the name is a run of matches with briefings and cutscenes over them. Pilots run on walls and double jump on a jet pack, and the Titans come in three kinds, an Atlas for balance, an Ogre for armor and a Stryder for speed. Matches are six against six, with grunts and robot Spectres filling the field to fifty, on the Source engine with the computer controlled characters run from Microsoft's cloud. The small headcount is the foundation of its design. Wall running pilots and mechs dropping from the sky are still its signature today.
