5. Ethan Is Excellent Comic Relief

By far the best character in IW's campaign is Ethan, the robot who fights alongside protagonist Reyes and serves as a welcome source of comic relief throughout the game.

Though he faces stiff competition for Android of the Year given Titanfall 2's BT only joined gamers last week, he's nevertheless a much-needed addition to IW's roster, fielding out hilarious one-liners every-so-often to underline the game's inherent absurdity.

Ironically, he's as close as the game gets to any sort of player-character bond, despite being a non-human NPC, and while it's not exactly surprising the journey his character takes, it's still relatively satisfying for the most part.

Now, an Ethan campaign DLC is something that might actually be worth paying for. Make it happen, Infinity Ward?
