When I got my hands on a code for the Titanfall Beta this morning I was eager to give this hyped up shooter a shot . Of course, family weekend activities took precedence over a video game beta and I had to wait until tonight to dive in. Or should I say “fall” in?  Silly pun aside, what do I think of Titanfall? Well I do like it. It is fun. It is very fast and very smooth . The hit detection is very good and there’s a lot going on both horizontally and vertically on the battlefield. It is not the next big step for shooters, but it does combine many great elements of previous online shooters  very well. I enjoyed playing both as a Titan pilot and also as a foot soldier. And, they do play differently. Early in I am currently much better on foot than controlling a mech. I recorded some random footage of the beta as I played, so check it out below. It’s too early to give any major impressions and, of course it’s only a beta, so its a work in progress. But with the quality of game play and the lack of new games on next gen systems, I am thinking long and hard about getting Titanfall when it launches.
