Titanfall 2 gradually eases players into Grunt combat

Respawn Entertainment has had a lot more time to develop Titanfall 2, its new sci-fi shooter game, than the original Titanfall in 2014. The original game generated $500 million in sales, but it probably could have scooped up a lot more players.

So this time around, the team made sure that it had a single-player campaign with a motivating cinematic and a tutorial that leaves no players behind. I checked out the beginning of the game, which launches on October 28 on the Xbox One, Windows PC, and PlayStation 4. The tutorial teaches you how to jump, run on walls, slide, double jump, and do it all at as fast a speed as possible. You can see in the video below what it’s like. You have to execute the tutorial on a time clock, and then you can play it again to try to beat your time. You’ll also judged on how well you do things like eliminate targets and use your mobility.
