Published

on

The Titanfall 2 midnight release arrives tonight, and nothing will stop serious fans from playing the game the moment that they can.

This is a game that they’ve waited on for years – some of them even longer than others. Electronic Arts let gamers salivate for months over 2014’s Titanfall before it dashed some hopes. The innovative game that dumped the linear story for a complete multiplayer experience would only come to Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC gamers. PlayStation gamers needed to wait for a sequel or pick up a second console. PS4 and PS3 users weren’t happy.
