All I’ll say is that they have a lot of fun exploring this relationship. Of course, it’s in aid of building an emotional attachment of sorts, and from the day Titanfall 2 was announced, the assumption has been that Respawn will kill BT off at the end.

You talk to him via simple dialogue options, letting you flesh out some parts of the story, and has these play to the script’s humorous slant of BT being a robot that doesn’t know he’s being funny. In other words, you can just use BT’s most powerful Core ability to deal a vast amount of damage in a short amount of time.īT gets to be the star of the show, as your trusty companion throughout. In truth, those are perhaps the weakest part of the single player, and for each one I died a couple of times before finding a way to simply survive long enough to make use of whatever Core ability BT’s loadout has at that time. You’re also privy to the comms chatter of the IMC’s mercenaries who are looking to take you down, and with showy introduction cutscenes, these pop up as boss characters to battle against, Titan on Titan. There’s always a new twist or a new ability to play with, but they only stay around long enough to leave you wanting more – at around 5 hours long, the same is true of the campaign itself.

A huge moving construction facility that might be the scene of a grand finale in another game pops up early on here and is a sign of things to come. Each location that you work your way through has its own style, even if heavy industry is a bit of a running theme.
