          Titanfall 2 is easily one of the best games this year. The campaign is phenomenal and the multiplayer is damn fun. The campaign is right up there with Doom in terms of quality. It's certainly better than Battlefield 1's campaign, which was already a great improvement on Battlefield 3's and 4's campaigns.

          It actually ticks me off that EA essentially threw Titanfall 2 under the bus like they did. There's no good reason why such a great game is suffering so greatly in sales besides poor release scheduling (sandwiched between Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (which is kind of "bleh" as a game)).

              There's a conspiracy theory that it was made to put a dent in COD sales, would EA put so much money into a games development and release it at the same time as their primary shooter (BF1) just to try and damage COD?

              I don't know, i thought Titanfall 2's campaign was simply fine, the collectable and upgrade hunting in DOOM really soured me on that campaign, i tried BF1 but it's totally a Battlefield game, the new setting and weapons has changed virtually nothing in how that game plays, i haven't played COD:IW yet because it's far too large for me to download.

                Good to know Titanfall 2 is worthy of being GOTY.
