What can I say. In short, Titanfall is so much fun that I constantly want to play it. Even now, as I'm typing this I'm having to fight the urge to turn on my Xbox One.
For me, it has lived up to the hype. Offering frantic, kinetic, explosive non-stop action that feels fresh and exciting in the 1st-person shooter market. It comes from Respawn Entertainment, a new development studio made up of the guys and girls behind Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Take that COD pedigree and infuse it with a little Mirror's Edge and Mechwarrior and now we're talking Titanfall. This game moves so fast and smooth it's incredible and the gameplay itself is simple and intuitive. By the end of my first match I was wall running and jet-packing with ease thanks to the responsive controls. Watch me play a round of Titanfall, below.
The 3 game modes are Attrition, Hardpoint and Last Titan Standing. Attrition is your basic team deathmatch. Hardpoint requires your team to secure and control 3 bases. And finally Last Titan Standing is exactly what its name implies. It pits players in an all out Titan war with each player getting just one Titan, attempting to outlast all the other Titans. All modes are great but I think I'm having the most fun with Attrition at the moment.
Titanfall is really impressing me, even with it's limited beta. The gameplay is insanely fun and I can't wait to see what all the other maps and Titans have in store for us gamers.
Titanfall seems to be the real deal. We'll find out for sure when the game launches in full this March 11th.
FYI: The Titanfall Beta is now open to the public for a limited time! Download it from the Xbox One Marketplace, under Demos.
