Gameplay
While we’ve touched a little bit on gameplay in the multiplayer section, it’s an important factor to consider overall. Both of these two games are on opposite ends of the scale when it comes to the FPS genre, but both doing their own thing incredibly well. Battlefield 1’s action may feel a little slower and clunkier, but it brings a level of realism and authenticity to the WWI setting that cannot be met elsewhere. Its focus on a variety of vehicular warfare and on-foot assaults on huge maps provide a sense of scale unrivaled in other FPS titles.
Titanfall 2 focuses on bringing a futuristic feel to the now iconic Call of Duty gameplay mechanics. Everything feels largely the same, except you’ve got a jetpack, can wallrun, oh and call in a giant mech. Titanfall 2 isn’t going for realism, but instead an adrenaline-fueled rollercoaster ride. Whether you’re playing the campaign or online multiplayer, Titanfall 2 keeps the action consistently fast and smooth.
Both are a joy to play for different reasons, and which suits you best will ultimately be decided by your preferences for realism and authenticity or off-the-scale chaotic action. We’re calling this one a draw.
