So according to a lot of folks, Titanfall 2 is actually one of the best shooters to be released in years. Our very own Liam Croft thought it was excellent, and we've basically seen nothing but praise around the 'net since it launched last month. There's just one problem, though: it didn't sell very well.
Fortunately, publisher EA is on the case, as it's going to try and tempt non-believers into giving the title's online modes a go. It hopes to accomplish this by offering a completely free trial period starting on Friday of this week, which is when you'll be able to download said trail from the PlayStation Store. Whats more, any progress that you make during the free period will transfer to the full game, should you wish to snap a copy up.
At the time of writing, there's no official word on how long the trail will last, but we assume that it's going to be a weekend only deal, so you may want to get cracking as soon as it becomes available.
Will you be giving Titanfall 2 a test drive? Hop into the pilot's seat in the comments section below.

I'll probably give it a go. I really liked the beta and I've heard the team made significant improvements since then.
Only reason I haven't bought it is I barely play the online multiplayer games I already have.
"There's just one problem, though: it didn't sell very well". Well of course it didn't sell well, what did they expect releasing it around the same time as Battlefield and CoD?? They should have waited to spring to release it.
@Tasuki Really? No one's come up with that conclusion before. I think you might be right!!!!
Great game and the MP is much better then it was in the Beta imho.
Hopefully the userbase will explode as the disillusioned Codites try out a real futuristic shooter.
BTW the campaign is pretty good too!
Everyone who's on the fence should at least try it!
It has one of the best campaigns out there, with great leveldesign and a lot of love for details. I'm on my second playthrough on a harder difficulty and also sank several hours into multiplayer - and completely ignored my friends who play battlefield 1 (as I did before this)!
Thumbs up!
No. I want to play the campaign. I'll do that next year. Thanks for the effort EA.
Gonna give this a try, managed to miss the beta first time round. Just in time to, getting connected to virgin tomorrow after nearly 3 weeks with no TV, broadband or phone since my move. It'll give me a Chance to try out my new 200mb fibre broadband so should be a quick download lets hope with 20mb up it improves my ability in a fast twitch game.
On a side note anyone else having problems leaving comments the last few weeks. Seems like every time I click on the box to comment I get redirected by an ad.
Gonna give it another go, seemed like decent throwaway fun for a couple of hours during the beta!
You guys should try it out its amazing the campaign was one of the best I've played was a little short but it was great and the multiplayer is fun all the maps are designed around mobility and there is a decent amount of customisation also if ur into trophy's I managed to get the platinum in 2 days
Already bought it and finished the campaign a couple of days ago, great but short game. I'm beginning to think if catering to multiplayer only crowd didn't work (titanfall 1) and catering to both multiplayer and single player didn't work either (titanfall 2), maybe they should focus on single player with a good 10-12 hours campaign on titanfall 3. And launch it on a non-crowded month.
Ahh well I work weekends and have the week off so this sucks for me! Missed like 2/3 free weekends of overwatch but didn't really care for that, this though I'm gutted! 😢😢😢
Actually I think the campaign lenght was just right. It wasn't bloated like oh so many other games out there. It did what it had to tell and that felt top notch and fresh, imho.
But then I'm one of those guys who takes his time and enjoy the vistas and the world and such ... in other words: I'm not rushing through it.
@wiiware I think they did everything right and so suggests the critics.
It all boils down to its miserable release date, really. Considering that they wont charge you for DLC! No Season Pass! No Microtransactions fee-to-pay style! We as gamers, have to set an example by buing this fine product.
Gosh, I sank my money in so much other miserable games but this one really, really deserves it. It's such a shame.
EA could make the entire single player campaign available for free & I still wouldn't play it, with FFXV out.
Mad really as I was sure TF2 would be my holiday shooter, instead I went for COD: IW Legacy edition. Much better for someone that prefers single player campaigns. If EA were serious about challenging COD they should've just included BF1 with TF2 (as part of the season pass perhaps).
Out of sight, out of mind.
@Fight_Teza_Fight you sure about that? The Campaign of CoD cant hold a candle really. But to each their own I guess...
I was gonna rent it but this works too!
@Fight_Teza_Fight I bought COD Legacy Pro edition it is ok nothing special. I don't get the fuss about COD 4.
I have no more funds for games before xmas, but I will buy it at some point to play the campaign, and I might download this just to get the feel of it.
I have TF2 but there's just something about it I don't like, completed the campaign but the MP just doesn't drag me back. It might be that it's to chaotic or it might be the constant AI bot's in MP or I might just not like titan's I dunno Well worth a download for free though you can probably pick this game up for £20.
So they released it between the two biggest shooters of the year, and then they're making it free for a weekend four days after Final Fantasy XV comes out.
slow clap
I wouldn't play it if it came with a free Star Bar right now. I'm in Final Fantasy mode for the foreseeable future.
@Furtin I haven't even started playing it yet as there is so much else to play & that's part of the problem. I never played Modern Warfare & from what I've been told IW has a very good campaign, but the MP sucks which suits me fine. That's why it's a better package for someone like me (especially with the Black Friday discount), that would only play it for the campaign.
@Fight_Teza_Fight fair enough! MW is of course a classic, enjoy it!
I will pick this up before Christmas maybe. I am not a huge mp player but heard the campaign is neatly done. I think it important to support games doing it right - free dlc in this day and age?
@Furtin Also naming it titanfall 2 didn't help either, most of ps4 users didn't play the first one and think they won't know the story if they didn't play it. Starting the franchise on xbox one is a bad gamble that didn't work out.
try it buy it you wont regret it
Include BF1 with TF2?! You having a laugh 😂 Battlefield is the bigger and better franchise. What a ridiculous cod fanboy attitude to have towards the two games that have owned Cod this year!
@daveofduncan Assume this was directed at me
Actually meant it the other way around as I know BF1 is far bigger than TF2, so yh my mistake.
This was actually the first COD I ever bought, simply because I've never played Modern Warfare & that's critically acclaimed.
Just let people play what they want to play.
@daveofduncan I wouldn't say thay owned COD seeing as Titanfall 2 flopped hard, Battlefield One while sold well still didn't outsell COD.
Going by the first Titanfall game it's Multiplayer didn't last long, Titanfall 2 is off to a bad start I just cannot see it's Multiplayer lasting that long sadly.
@banacheck BF1 has a bigger player base atm compared to IW. Cod has also slipped below £30 in its first month released for the first time in over a decade. It usually holds its price for at least a few months. They've royally screwed themselves over with the remaster backlash. It's nice to see people talking with their wallets.
It's sold more because people are so dottled, that they've given in and paid £60/£70 for the legacy edition. Ridiculous if you ask me.
I enjoyed the TF2 beta but I'm getting tired of jetpack combat so BF1 is a massive breath of fresh air.
I strongly urge my fellow members of the PlayStation Nation to try TF2. Best fps this year.
