E3 2016: 10 Things We Learned From Titanfall 2's Single Player Trailer

10. 'BT27274' Has A Lot Of Baggage

Military-techno jargon aside, the main mech of Titanfall 2 looks to be far more human than its tank-like predecessors were. Designated BT27274, this rebel mech has seen an awful lot, with the opening of the trailer depicting what can only be described as a massacre. Through narration we can infer that, in the fray, the AI inside the mech bonds with an ordinary infantryman and that's how the story begins.

What's particularly interesting though however is the fact that, in what sounds like a debrief, the robot seems to have defied some sort of protocol. Think of Asimov's three laws of robotics, but some twisted militaristic version. For whatever reason it would seem as though the chain of command is totally cool with AI Skynet-ing itself as long as it doesn't contravene with their goals, so, ignoring the moral implications of such a move, we can at least assume that this BT fella is an alright death mech.

While I very much doubt that BT will be delivering speech in an emotive manner, I'd be immensely surprised if some sort of friendship didn't form between the mech and its pilot. Let's just hope that Cooper will actually have a voice though, as I can't imagine that the silent protagonist trope will have endured this far into 2016, unless of course it's done in an ironic fashion.
