The weapons are varied and balanced. Even the smart pistol that some say is overpowered, is actually a well balanced, situational sidearm. It is the best weapon for clearing areas from bots, but against pilots it is always fair.
Pilots freedom of movement allows for epic fast flanking and dueling action, but once you are in a titan, you have to be mindful of cover, enemy placement and your retreat routes.
The adrenaline rush you get when you manage to place your titanfall on a freshly landed enemy titan whose pilot just got in compares to few things.
Titanfall gives me thrills I haven't felt in a game since I begun PC gaming back in primary school.
It IS balanced. It is fast. It is invigorating.
Only the lack of deeper matchmaking options keep it from being a 10 for me.
