Titanfall, The MW3 we never got

2009 was a big year for games. About half way through the previous generations of consoles. Everyone was happy. A lot of good games came out that year, Halo 3 ODST, Left 4 Dead, Assassins Creed 2 and a lot of other ones everyone was excited to play on different corners of the globe. But there was one game that took the entire gaming world by storm Modern Warfare 2. When Call of Duty 4 came out no one really expected it to change the industry the way it did. In between these two games Treyarch release their COD game, World at war, being pretty much a clone with a World War 2 skin. Pretty much filler content until the next Infinity Ward  game was finished. Then Modern Warfare 2 came out. It lit the world on fire, selling millions and breaking numerous records with a great campaign and fun (but unbalanced) multiplayer. It was good year. But in a lot of peoples opinions it was the last year the COD would be good. Shortly after the games release Activisions CEO Booby Kotik had fired the two leads on MW2, Jason West and Frank Zampella for supposedly talking about future plans with a competitor, being EA. Thats right, the two people who just made a little over a billion dollars in a few months were fired for simply talking to a competitor about the idea of a future, seperate project. Ever since then the COD franchise has gone down with quality while simultaneously appealing to a wider audience of casual gamers and weekenders, being dubbed as the cool game to play after MW2's release. Meanwhile the two ex Infinity ward members along with a significant portion of their old company were hard at work creating Titanfall for EA, supposedly the next big thing. People were excited beyond belief when the game was announced and being showed off. It was dubbed a revolutionary title going to change gaming. But recently with the Titanfall alpha being played and filmed people have been only saying one thing. It looks like Call of Duty with robots. And a lot of people are already disappointed by the fact it resembles COD. Im a little disappointed to by this fact, I was expecting something more and I dont know what. But then I thought, these guys aren't the ones who ruined and exploited this once good series. They didnt hinder the gaming industries by shitting out sequel after sequel or by grounding all shooters into the Modern Military controls and settings. But Im looking forward to this new game because it reminds of how the COD franchise could have gone. How the series could have gone if not exploited. And from what I've seen from the gameplay it looks good. The shooting looks better than ever, the guns and design look new and interesting, the parkour aspect is gonna add a lot to the gameplay, and the titans, Oh man the titans look fun. Im counting down the days I get to wreck shop with those babies. Its a formula that I once loved reborn in a new form, hopefully by a company that wont ruin it for the sake of more money. This post isn't for the ones excited for Respawns new game its for the ones that are doubtful.
