  The original Titanfall debuted to high praise, ranking among the best Xbox One games upon release. But in the weeks and months after its launch, the multiplayer focused shooter waned from the spotlight. Though it had strong core community, the title's short progression loop and lack of content outside of the core competitive play didn't compel many who enjoyed it to work Titanfall into their regular play rotation. For the sequel, developer Respawn is going bigger, with a dedicated story campaig

There's no player-vs-player, but there is plenty of room for "build diversity" on each champion as players unlock new weapons and options as they level up.
