About This Game

Titanfall 2 is a first-person shooter with both a single-player campaign and competitive multiplayer. The campaign follows a Militia rifleman who bonds with a Titan, a large bipedal mech, after his pilot is killed. Gameplay combines fast-paced infantry movement, including wall-running and double-jumping, with sections where the player controls the Titan in combat. Multiplayer features team-based modes with players fighting as both Pilots and Titans on the same battlefield.

Story

In the distant future, a conflict rages between the IMC and the Frontier Militia across the galaxy's outer colonies. Jack Cooper, a rifleman in the Militia with aspirations of becoming a Pilot, is stranded behind enemy lines when his mentor is killed in action. Bonded to his mentor's Titan, a massive combat mech called BT-7274, Cooper must complete a mission he was never trained for while being hunted by the IMC's elite mercenary forces.
