Gioteck review Titanfall: "Titanfall could be one of the most important games released not only this year, but for the FPS genre looking ahead at the next 5 years. Whilst some of you might think this is an overstatement, lets look at this claim in the cold light of day. Ever since Modern Warfare was launched, and brought RPG elements to online multi-player, kill streaks (and death streaks) and common set of controls and a benchmark for silky smooth gameplay, all other FPS games have tried to match this."
