Played some of the Battlefield 1 beta and I bounced off it real quickly. Partly due to the incessant lag issues during the beta which doesn't inspire much confidence in the full release but it all just seems like another Battlefield game. It looks gorgeous, huge in scale and plays well, I was just expecting maybe with it being WW1 weaponry it would affect the pace of a match somewhat but no, players are running around like headless chickens on open fields, firing automatic weapons and crashing vehicles. So it's Battlefield alright. I'll no doubt enjoy it if I put any more serious time into it, but I have enough games on rotation at the minute, including multiplayer shooters, to come back to it eventually.
However...I did play the Titanfall 2 Beta last weekend and
loved it. It's basically Call of Duty multiplayer, as fast and smooth as that is, but with mechs. It feels good and flows really well, the ability to jump, double jump, wall run, slide and even grapple your way across the levels all feels fantastic and it's such an empowering feeling to be in your Titan and taking out other players. There's so much going on in match, moments that are really jaw dropping to watch and even better to do yourself. Like sliding into a jump towards a wall, bounce back off it and kill an enemy player below? Or running towards a teammate's Titan just fast enough to latch your grappling hook into him and you speed towards it as you're pulled towards it where you can then ride on top of the Titan. Or when piloting your own Titan, you can shoot pilots out of mid air with your precision laser? Feels so great and satisfying to play, I made sure to record a few videos, this is probably my favourite. Lots of things happening in this one. Really looking forward to the full release where hopefully I'll have cleared a few games off since then
