New Titans
One of Titanfall’s biggest downfalls was that while the Titans were certainly cool to control, they didn’t really offer much in terms of what was different between them. Yes, one was a bit bulkier and more powerful while one was a bit quicker, but with there only being three to choose from it all got a little too stale a little too quickly. Titanfall 2 brings six new Titans to the table each with their own unique feel.
Legion wields a minigun focused on defense and control, and Ronin is the one we saw in the first trailer with the sword and is a hit-and-run specialist. Northstar can use traps, launch cluster missiles, and takeoff into the skies for aerial assaults, while Ion comes with a laser, Vortex Shield, and a powerful Laser Core blast. Finally, Scorch, as the name suggests, utilizes a thermite launcher to fire walls of thermite in the direction of enemies, and can use flammable gas canisters for explosive surprises, and Tone has tracker rockets, a Sonar Lock for detecting enemies, and a guidable salvo of rockets. With such a variation in both offensive and defensive abilities, Titanfall 2’s matches become a lot more interesting.
