You should listen to the guys talking in the lobby of a game. Almost everyone who's played the game talks about how impressive the game is. I was on the fence about this game, but after playing it, I'm sold 100%. Check my post history, I'm not one to hype games just because they're popular or to be a fanboi. But this game is gonna be a gen defining game.
And to touch on the point of it being like COD... This quote was copied for a guy on Neogaf. He summed up my some of my thoughts perfectly.

Having played a bunch of TitanFall and a ton of COD, here is my opinion on the gameplay...
Don't judge it by watching a video of someone who is new to the game.
Once you learn how to play, you're not just standing still shooting at players like in COD.
People who have learned the game a bit more actually use jump, thrusters, and wall running while in gunfights.
When I'm using a shotgun and a guy is a bit out of my range shooting at me, I don't spray at him or hide... I jump onto the wall, run on it towards him gaining momentum, jump off it, jetpack behind him, and destroy him.
When there's an enemy in a window, I don't go inside the building, run up the stairs while checking for claymores... I run up the wall to the window, jump backwards and shoot him through the window while in mid air.
When I'm pinned in a hallway, out numbered in a gunfight, I don't turn around and try to outrun them down the hall or drop to the ground and spray&pray, I wall jump up the walls of the hallway, onto the roof and gain a new perspective.
If I'm in a fight on the street and I see two players, I don't need to hide to get the jump on them. I kill one of them, jump while the other is turning on me, Jetpack when he starts to aim, and then kill him too.
It does not play like COD once you learn the movement system, and that contributes heavily to the gunplay.
And that doesn't even include the Titan vs Titan stuff, or Titan vs Pilot, which are all completely unique as well.
