8 Ways Titanfall 2 Blows Battlefield 1 Out The Water

5. It Knows How To Reward Your Time

If you're going to devote hours into learning precisely how to carve your name in the bodies of your enemies online, you're going to need a steady rollout of rewards and items as recompense.

Granted, gameplay itself should always be the driving force (as Overwatch knows, being the best thing you'll unlock in Blizzard's shooter is another skin), but you can't beat looking at an inventory before and after a few sessions, before taking stock of just how much you've unlocked.

In Battlefield's case, the blind box 'Battlepacks' are doled out at random, complete random, simply for the sake of encouraging you to delve into the world of microtransactions if you want to acquire some, or you can play and, well, keep your fingers crossed?

For Titanfall, you'll unlock weapon upgrades, Titan and Pilot skins, the weapons themselves and all sorts of augments at a very steady clip. Both games gate a ton of content behind a currency you accrue across the game, but where Battlefield's menus force you to hunt for what you've unlocked, Titanfall highlights every last thing, and easily shows you were to go.
