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

7. You'll Be Fighting A Diverse Set Of Enemies

Keeping with the theme of diversifying combat beyond your normal run of the mill run n' gun gameplay, players will have to contend with a multitude of enemies, both mechanised and otherwise.

We've already taken a look at the wildlife that looks extremely hostile to anything with a pulse, and the trailer showed off some fairly menacing combatants too. There are nasty exploding spider-robots, mechs of various shapes and sizes, and of course your average ordinary grunt. You'll be hard pressed to find something not to shoot at, and as you'll be doing it with mechs, rifles and explosives - all while running along walls I might add - in a breakneck fashion, there'll be little time to pause. It makes a change from the usual rank and file infantry that most commonly populate FPS games these days, and having seen the amount of weaponry players will be able to get to grips with, it's hard not to get just that little bit excited.

No news on if you'll be able to take on those giant dropships yet, but in any case, there were plenty of foes in this one trailer to fill an entire game. In any case, more surprises in the game are an inevitability, so don't expect to have seen every enemy in the brief few minutes of footage we were shown.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
