- “I'm not even a guy that's too into these more modern-esque shooters, I'm cool with like COD and stuff, but my god, Titanfall 2 is by far the game that I have yet to see being beaten in terms of gameplay, because you'd think that due to the title, only the titan would be the highlight of the game, which it is, but playing as the pilot is just as fun with how mobile they are.”

- “The level to play in most public servers is too intense, and feels too sweaty to bother even buying the game anymore, as the matchmaking is flooded with salty veterans that will just spawn camp you if you don't have your gear optimized. Your chances at leveling gear is about 1 month per gun. If you don't want a fat, pointless community grind, then don't buy, don't play, and leave a thumbs down on Apex to help protest for a better Titanfall 3.”
- “Once in game, the server performance was bad with many players rubber banding across my screen.”
- “I love this game but it is a stuttering mess and absolutely unplayable.”

- “The campaign is awesome and was worth the purchase (when the game was on sale in Steam), but it has little to no replay value, apart from getting collectibles or Steam achievements for harder difficulties.”
