>"It's on the way. Standby for Titanfall."Titanfall is a 2014 Competitive Multiplayer First-Person Shooter Mecha Game published by Electronic Arts for the Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC, developed using Valve Software's Source Engine. It is the first game developed by Respawn Entertainment, a studio comprised of former Infinity Ward employees, and appears to be a Spiritual Successor to the Modern Warfare series of games they had worked on previously. It was announced as a Microsoft exclusive, though Respawn have not ruled out bringing other titles in the franchise to other platforms in the future.Combat in Titanfall takes places on two levels: initially focusing on ground-based infantry combat similar to Modern Warfare, players (as "Pilots") are able to call-in and control the titular "Titans" as the match progresses, adding an extra dimension to the conflict. Titans act as a huge force multiplier for players and shift combat into a new perspective, as players are now 20ft tall and have shields but lose the ability to jump (replaced by a dash) and now have to deal with fighting enemy Titans. Pilots still on the ground aren't powerless, either, being more nimble than Titans and are easily able to Attack Its Weak Point with Anti-Titan weaponry and the ability to "rodeo" on enemy Titan's backs and bypass their shields by firing directly into sensitive components.Titanfall is a multiplayer-only experience, and seeks to "combine fast-paced multiplayer action with heroic moments from traditional campaign mode". Rather than splitting development between a Single-Player story campaign and a Multiplayer component, Respawn decided to roll the story campaign into Multiplayer via a special "Campaign" multiplayer mode that takes players through maps in a specific order and with extra cutscenes and expository dialog added to give context to the match.What story is given goes as such: Mankind has discovered an oddly-dense cluster of inhabitable solar systems they dubbed "The Frontier", and began colonization efforts. However, due to waning profits and interest the IMC, a Mega-Corp that grew from bankrolling the colonies, eventually abandons the Frontier and retreats to the Core worlds. Decades later, it is discovered that the abandoned colonists have managed to grow and thrive on their own. The IMC returns in force, claiming their previous ownership. The people of the frontier form a Militia to resist the IMC's exploitation of their worlds.The sequel, Titanfall 2, was released in 2016, this time on the PlayStation 4 as well as PC and Xbox One. A mobile Real-Time Strategy Spin-Off, Titanfall Assault, was released in August 2017, but has gone defunct after July 2018. Apex Legends, a Free-to-Play Battle Royale Game Spin-Off, was launched in February 2019. | |

A Father to His Men | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_19d06ef7 | comment |
A Father to His Men: Although James MacAllan doesn't want to be part of the IMC/Milita war, he quickly joins the Militia when they save the colony he was exiled to, and encourages his men to fight for the ideal of the Frontier's independence. When he joins the Battle of Demeter, he even says "I wouldn't put you into the fire I myself would not go in", and backs these words up by not just piloting a Titan for the first time since his retirement, but also pulling a Heroic Sacrifice to destroy Demeter, his last words assuring the Militia men left that It Has Been an Honor serving alongside them. | |

Death from Above | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_1c398324 | comment |
Death from Above: One popular way of taking out enemy Titans is for the player to have their Titanfall right on top of enemy Titans. Successfully killing an enemy Titan by dropping your own on top of it could count as Cherry Tapping due to the long delay and warning given to enemy pilots nearby. There is a kit that causes your Titan to deploy faster, but using it offensively is still very difficult. It's possible to take out deployed Titans their dome shield with a Titanfall (and easier since they are stationary). It was also possible to damage Evac Ships severely by dropping a Titan on it, but the latter was classified as a bug by Respawn and has since been removed. | |

Competitive Multiplayer | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_1fa83f70 | comment |
Competitive Multiplayer With several game modes and gameplay of a First-Person MOBA: Campaign: The campaign of both sides, with each map having story cutscenes happening in the background evolving as either the IMC or Militia is winning. Attrition: One of the two modes that appear in Campaign. It's the game's standard game mode and is a variant of the standard Deathmatch, that pits you against the enemy team in a race for the most points, by killing enemy infantry (known as Minions), Pilots and Titans, with player-controlled-character kills earning more points.note 1 point for AI kills, 4 for every Pilot killed and 5 for every Titan destroyed. Hardpoint Domination: A simple capture point mode and the second mode to appear in Campaign. The more points held, the more you score, the faster you win. Titans have a high advantage in capturing points, nulifying any Pilots present, there by making it so it cannot be contested unless an enemy Titan is present. Capture The Flag: Much like any FPS, it's a faster Capture The Flag gametype. Only Pilots can pick up flags, but Titans can return the flag. Utilizing the freerunning kit is essential to capturing the flag successfully. Last Titan Standing: A "one life" Deathmatch gametype where everyone starts in Titans right away. If all Titans on one team dies, they lose. It's still possible to help your team even if your Titan dies (provided you eject), but as you're much more fragile in this mode, the best you can do is get potshots and distract the Titans. Pilot Hunt: A pure Deathmatch mode, where only Pilot kills count. Minions still spawn, but provide no points, aside from decreasing Build-Timenote Time it takes for your Titan to become available and spawn few and far between, to help Pilots focus on enemy Pilots. Marked for Death: A variation of Pilot Hunt where one pilot from each side is Marked for Death. Points are awarded for killing the marked person. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical The Plasma Railgun weapon has a charge-up time which increases the damage it does for by waiting for the bar, that appears when aiming, fills. Considering how fast Titans can move, the slow speed of the weapon's charge time as well as the projectile having travel time, can make it Difficult, but Awesome. It does get easier to use with an upgrade that nullifies the charge time, but reduces the damage dealt, making it into a slightly deadlier 40mm Cannon. The Mag-Launcher can deal good damage if it hits. Sadly, the ways a Titan can dodge it is numerous. On the other hand, it is the only pilot anti-titan weapon that can engage titans through indirect fire, i.e. you don't have to expose yourself to hit the titan. | |

Batman Gambit: When the IMS Sentinel appears in Mission 4, MacAllan orders Militia fighters to head on a suicide run to damage the super-carrier. Militia leaders are aghast about this order; at the end of the mission, MacAllan states the Militia can now directly attack it, as it's left in dry dock for refueling and repairs at a loosely-guarded IMC facility. This leads to Mission 5 "Assault on the Sentinel''. | |

| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_38f1a7ed | comment |
Defector from Decadence: MacAllan used to be one of the best officers for the IMC, but a news report in the game's intro indicates he has defected to the Militia. Subverted as he simply disappears off radar for fifteen years, until the current conflict brings him out in the open. Although he initially refuses to assist the Militia, after they rescue the civilians under his leadership, he plays this straight by assuming command of the faction. Following the destruction of the Demeter base, Graves pulls a Heel–Face Turn, leading the Militia on a raid against a Hammond Robotics facility to steal an army of Spectre combat drones to aid them. The ending of the Militia campaign also indicates a lot of IMC soldiers have defected to them. | |

Boring, but Practical: The "R-101C Carbine" assault rifle; nothing particularly flashy or cool about it, but it has a good balance of accuracy, power, and range. It can be used effectively at both close-quarters and long distance. Even though it's the first weapon available to players, many who have unlocked the entire arsenal still use it. Even after a nerf or two it remained one of the best weapons in the game. Invoked Trope, as the developers wanted the Carbine to be the workhorse of the game. | |

| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_3df9c288 | comment |
Keystone Army: The IMC is heavily dependent on the refueling facilities at Demeter because it's the only settled planet within reach of the Core Systems. In order for them to receive reinforcements, the ships arriving from the Core Systems expend all their fuel to reach Demeter, at which point they refuel and head onto the Frontier. Losing Demeter will cripple the IMC irrevocably as their reinforcements would take years to reach the Frontier instead of days. The Militia successfully destroy the base at the end of Mission 8. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: At the end of campaign Mission 8 "Battle of Demeter", Militia leader James MacAllan irreversibly sabotages the reactor at Demeter so that it will blow no matter what. As the IMC awaits for evacuation, IMC combat coodinator "Spyglass" suddenly and unexpectedly aborts the retrieval, leaving all IMC ground forces to die on the surface in favor of moving the larger capital ships away from the planet. Subverted when considering the size of the explosion, and MacAllan ordering the Militia leaders to do exactly the same thing, Spyglass makes a justified decision. | |

Dropped a Bridge on Him: Besides the literal possibility of dropping a Titan on someone, this can happen to you and anyone on Demeter in the end of the 8th mission. You don't get a grand explosion to show the effect of it; Your screen turns white as the game slowly ends, signifying everyone's death and sacrifice on Demeter as it explodes. | |

Le Parkour: When a pilot isn't using a Titan, they have the ability to do this, climbing ledges and running across walls such as slanted billboards. These abilities are augmented through the use of a short-range jetpack. Use is encouraged by the fact that it's safer to Wall Run than to remain on street level, where an enemy Titan can stomp on you. Wall-running is also considerably faster than running on the ground. | |

Ace Pilot: Robert "Barker" Taube, though his alcoholism makes that title somewhat suspect. It's also something of an Informed Ability, as he never does any piloting, and his major contribution is to provide the Militia with intelligence on IMC bases. Extra special mention of "The Ace" part goes to James MacAllen, who not only was a Titan Pilot prior to resigning from the IMC until climbing in it again during the Battle of Demeter, but is also able to outfox the IMC at every turn in the campaign, whether or not the Militia wins the ground battles. | |

Sequel Hook/No Ending: Mission 9 ends with the Militia having the upper-hand in the war, but the IMC are far from finished. Indeed, the closing narration for the Militia campaign delivered by an audio recording of MacAllan is a Rousing Speech of confidence that victory will come soon. On the other hand, the IMC campaign closes with a message delivered by Vice-Admiral Spyglass stating they remain an effective fighting force despite being cut off from the Core Systems, and they will adapt and prevail. | |

At the review board afterward, Graves maintained MacAllan and his men managed to take over the ship. However, we find out at the end of Mission 8 that Graves let him have the Odyssey with his blessing. It shouldn't be surprising that Graves defects to the Militia after the Battle of Demeter. | |

Eventually, Hammond Robotics begins become increasingly predatory towards the resource-rich Frontier, and decades-long tensions ignite in the form of a Militia fighting for independence from the Core Systems. Hammond Robotics deploys its private army, the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation, to put down the uprising. | |

Black-and-White Morality | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_7abd339f | comment |
Black-and-White Morality: It's not exactly hard to figure out who's truly the antagonists. In the first mission alone, the IMC opens fire on civilian vessels while fighting the Militia. Blisk justifies it by insisting that "today's civilian could be tomorrow's Militia". In the second mission, the IMC tests their new Spectre combat robots on helpless settlers. When MacAllan tells Graves he's fighting for the wrong side, it's not hard to believe him. Meanwhile, the Militia only attacks legitimate military targets (their only gray action is attempting to shoot down an IMC Dropship to prevent IMC pilots from retreating and ensure they never escape unscathed) . By the end of the game, they win quite a few defectors from the IMC to their cause. IMC Grunt chatter includes references to plain clothes Militia ambushes, and worse. | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Too Awesome to Use: Respawn limited the amount of Burn Cards you can havenote 46 Burn Cards before your deck is full, as a Generation 1 player, to discourage this. Still, the rarest Burn Cards are the "Instant-Titan" Burn Cardsnote There's 3 of each for the 3 Titans which instantly summon said Titan into the game. and Spectre Camo. The "Instant-Titan" Burn Cards are the rarest as they are only gotten by reaching level 50, meaning that in theory, you can only get 10 of each throughout the game. And that's if you have enough space for the cards in your inventory. Subverted somewhat with the patch that added the Black Market, where players can use Credits (won by playing the game normally and completing daily challenges) to buy Premium Booster Packs. The catch? They are the most expensive of all Booster Packs (50000 Credits) and only offer 4 random Premium Burn Cards. | |

So you've called your Titan down and you're destroying the opposing team with ease - hooray! ...Except all enemy pilots carry anti-Titan weaponry that can take your Titan down in a few shots and can climb aboard your Titan and Attack Its Weak Point. However, players can modify their Titan loadout by including "Electric Smoke", which will fry enemy pilots attempting to "rodeo" their Titan. While it has a long recharge time, with the appropriate Burn Card, its cooldown time can be sped up. Failing that, friendly Pilots can ride on the shoulder of a Titan as well, preventing enemies from climbing aboard. | |

Macross Missile Massacre | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_8b93a168 | comment |
Macross Missile Massacre: Titans have a variety of rocket-based attacks available as a secondary weapon— the default shoots off unguided missiles in rapid sucession; attacks unlocked later fire in clusters, or lock on to enemies. Sidewinder Anti-Titan Rocket Launcher. Think assault rifles that spits rockets. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
The Plasma Railgun weapon has a charge-up time which increases the damage it does for by waiting for the bar, that appears when aiming, fills. Considering how fast Titans can move, the slow speed of the weapon's charge time as well as the projectile having travel time, can make it Difficult, but Awesome. It does get easier to use with an upgrade that nullifies the charge time, but reduces the damage dealt, making it into a slightly deadlier 40mm Cannon. | |

Elite Mooks | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_9edbda07 | comment |
Elite Mooks: Captains are named Grunts, although they don't do much damage otherwise. Spectres are slightly tougher health-wise, but still isn't a big threat. This all changes in the Frontier Defense co-op mode, where even lowly grunts can and will overpower you if you give them a chance. Even worse, Spectres can now Rodeo-attack you, and Self-Destruct Spectres runs really, really fast, and 3-4 of them detonating at once can destroy a near-perfect health Stryder. Superpowered Mooks: You'd think AI-controlled Titans in Frontier Defense are easy pickings as they are in regular pvp mode. Nope. The "Standard" Titans don't deactivate themselves while rodeo attacked, Mortar Titans (Atlas-type) with Rocket Launchers can lay on the hurt at extreme ranges thanks to their arcing rockets, Arc Titans (Stryder-type) are fast and permanently emit electric pulses like your Arc Grenades or Arc Mines would, with the same shield-vaporizing effect as both weapons, and Nuke Titans (Ogre-type) are more than happy to bumrush the objective (and you, if you're defending it), which usually means up to 10 Ogre Titans barreling down at full speed, each one ready to deploy Nuclear Ejection if it dies. | |

Competitive Balance | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_9f4a47f2 | comment |
Competitive Balance: So you've called your Titan down and you're destroying the opposing team with ease - hooray! ...Except all enemy pilots carry anti-Titan weaponry that can take your Titan down in a few shots and can climb aboard your Titan and Attack Its Weak Point. However, players can modify their Titan loadout by including "Electric Smoke", which will fry enemy pilots attempting to "rodeo" their Titan. While it has a long recharge time, with the appropriate Burn Card, its cooldown time can be sped up. Failing that, friendly Pilots can ride on the shoulder of a Titan as well, preventing enemies from climbing aboard. Each class of Titan adheres to a different trait: the default "Atlas" model is a Jack of All Statsnote 8000 Hit Points, 280 movement, 420 sprint-speed, 1000 melee damage, the "Ogre" is a Mighty Glaciernote 10500 HP, 265 movement, 400 sprint-speed, 1875 melee damage, while the "Stryder" is a Fragile Speedsternote 5500 HP, 300 movement, 435 sprint-speed, 1125 melee. Pilots can hold a "legal" maximum of forty sixnote This increases by six as you regenerate, up to a maximum of one-hundred at Generation 10 Burn Cards. They may exceed this limit, but they cannot use any more cards until their deck is within that limit. Players will often find themselves tossing away extra cards that don't meld well with their preferred loadout. A Titanfall cannot occur on a rooftop of any structure, despite available space. This is for player accessibility and the prevention of potential camping. There is no destructible terrain, despite this being an eminently realistic potential feature, because the use of it is key to Pilot mobility / survivability. | |

A Mech by Any Other Name: Mecha in this game are called "Titans". The alternate name was chosen to avoid the connotations the word "mech" normally carries to a western audience, that of a very large, but very slow machine. Titans are smaller than "giant" robots, and Titanfall plays significantly faster than MechWarrior or Hawken. | |

Video Game Dashing: All Titans can perform this, with a visible "dash meter". The Stryder-class takes this up to eleven, which allows it to dash three times in quick succession. With its core ability active, it can dash an UNLIMITED number of times. This is justified with pilots, as they all have jetpacks which allow them to move in three dimensions. | |

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: In Mission 8, the IMC is attempting to shut down the reactor core at the Demeter base to prevent the Militia from self-destructing it. Halfway through the mission, MacAllan sabotages the reactor so that even if the IMC succeeds in shutting down the core, it will send out a shockwave that will self-destruct the base anyway. Demeter is destroyed no matter what. Also, Mission 1 involves the First Militia Fleet attempting to refuel. Regardless of who wins, the Militia successfully refuel with the loss of a dozens ships and escape. The only real difference is whether the Redeye, a Militia ship that's trying to refuel over the combat area, is shot down. A better example is in the ninth and final mission "The Made Men": the Militia are attempting to steal an army of Spectres, but no matter what happens, the robots all self-destruct at the end. Even if the Militia didn't get them, it's still a big blow to the IMC war effort. Frankly, as stated in Invincible Hero, the Militia fulfill their objectives in every campaign mission, regardless of which team wins the actual match: they succeed in recovering the data from the IMS Odyssey, they extract Barker out from under the IMC's nose, the IMS Sentinel is destroyed, etc. | |

Sentry Gun: Pilots can order their Titans to act like one when they're not piloting it. Additionally, pilots can also hack large stationary guns if available on the map. Finally, in Frontier Defense pilots can place a small sentry gun in between enemy waves. | |

Robot War | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_bb44f503 | comment |
Robot War: The conflict between the IMC and the Militia is gradually becoming this after the destruction of Demeter. Since the IMC will not receive human reinforcements from the Core Systems for years (and also because many IMC soldiers are defecting), they must make up their losses by manufacturing more Spectres. It's likely this is the reason Spyglass is promoted to Vice-Admiral. In the last mission, Graves attempts to persuade Blisk to join the Militia and turn the war into solely a humans vs. machines conflict, but Blisk won't have any of it, and firmly chooses to remain an IMC faithful and fight with the machines. That said, while Most of the IMC's combatants in the frontier are machines, the people calling the shots back home for the IMC are still human. | |

Genius Bruiser: Spyglass, the IMC's tactical AI, is mentally superhuman in all aspects. Spectres, the IMC's Killer Robots, are physically superhuman in all aspects. Spyglass likes to use modified Spectres as disposable avatars to directly participate on the battlefield. Do the maths. | |

Standard FPS Guns | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_bfc659ba | comment |
Standard FPS Guns: Played fairly straight for most of the anti-personnel weapons and sidearms. When we get to anti-Titan weapons, however, it gets somewhat harder to classify. Pistol: As sidearms, they're available in automatic (RE-45 Autopistol), precise (Hammond P2011), and Hand Cannon (B3 Wingman) varieties. The Smart Pistol MK5 is a primary weapon for balance reasons, as it's capable of automatically targeting enemies and firing a series of target-seeking bullets at everything it's locked onto. Assault Rifles: The R-101C Carbine is the only straight example of this, a Jack of All Stats available from the start of the game. Submachine Guns: The R-97 Compact SMG and C.A.R. SMG share a sort of Ryu and Ken balance, with the latter sacrificing ammo capacity and fire rate for enhanced accuracy and damage, making it something of an assault rifle/SMG hybrid. Machine Gun: The Spitfire LMG has excellent damage and fire rate at the cost of low initial accuracy and a long reload time. It's also well suited to damaging Titans at close range after climbing onto them. Shotgun: The EVA-8 Shotgun is the only variety available at launch. While still a Short-Range Shotgun, it can easily kill an enemy in one or two shots from a respectable distance. Sniper Rifle: Similar to the game's twin SMGs, the Longbow-DMR Sniper and Kraber-AP Sniper fill a similar role, with the former being a semi-auto sniper rifle and latter being a bolt action model that one-shots infantry and deals more damage to Titans at the expense of magazine size, fire rate and hit-scan property. Marksman Gun: The G2A4 Rifle kind of fits here, being a science fiction expy of the real world Mk 14 EBR. Battle Rifle: The Hemlok BF-R is a heavier rifle that fires in 3- or 5-shot bursts with good precision and damage. Grenade Launcher: The Mag Launcher. | |

Mooks | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_c36cba70 | comment |
Mooks: Every match continuously spawns Grunts and Spectres for both sides and are generally terrible against pilots, making them Cannon Fodder. Killing them grants the player some Experience Points and are counted into their respective teams' score in Attrition Mode, but killing pilots is worth much more. Elite Mooks: Captains are named Grunts, although they don't do much damage otherwise. Spectres are slightly tougher health-wise, but still isn't a big threat. This all changes in the Frontier Defense co-op mode, where even lowly grunts can and will overpower you if you give them a chance. Even worse, Spectres can now Rodeo-attack you, and Self-Destruct Spectres runs really, really fast, and 3-4 of them detonating at once can destroy a near-perfect health Stryder. Superpowered Mooks: You'd think AI-controlled Titans in Frontier Defense are easy pickings as they are in regular pvp mode. Nope. The "Standard" Titans don't deactivate themselves while rodeo attacked, Mortar Titans (Atlas-type) with Rocket Launchers can lay on the hurt at extreme ranges thanks to their arcing rockets, Arc Titans (Stryder-type) are fast and permanently emit electric pulses like your Arc Grenades or Arc Mines would, with the same shield-vaporizing effect as both weapons, and Nuke Titans (Ogre-type) are more than happy to bumrush the objective (and you, if you're defending it), which usually means up to 10 Ogre Titans barreling down at full speed, each one ready to deploy Nuclear Ejection if it dies. | |

Little Hero, Big War | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_c4e519dd | comment |
Little Hero, Big War: The most popular game mode Attrition averts this trope by making the objective to win a match not by killing more players on the other side, but by influencing the course of a whole battle between two whole armies with reinforcing infantry. Most FPS multiplayer modes have teams of just 6-12 players on each side about the size of a couple of fireteams, Titanfall has two whole battalions of infantry (assumed battalion size due to numbers being in the hundreds) and they are not useless because troops can actually kill each other (or careless players, to many people's embarrassment). Players are expected to function like special forces by inflicting mass casualties, converting enemy robotic infantry, hacking artillery turrets, and calling in Titans (Grunts are trivial to a Titan, you can literally walk all over the enemy). Though killing enemy players, and reducing enemy Titan support helps, inflicting more player kills than the other team does not ensure victory. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out A mech with the ability to magnetically catch and return bullets? A lightning gun that reduces enemy infantry to goo? This sounds familiar. Continuing with the District 9 references, the Stryder-class Titan has been likened to that very same Mini-Mecha from the movie. Blisk is speculated to be a reference to Kubus in the film or Kruger from Elysium. The Hemlok BF-R is a Shout-Out to James Cameron movies. It has the magazine of an M41A1 Pulse Rifle◊ and a barrel shroud similar to the one on the M60 from◊ Avatar. The "Nuclear Explosion" Titan kit, which causes a Titan to blow up in a small nuclear explosion, is similar to Battlemechs going critical. In fact, upon being ejected from a Titan just as it explodes, the view appears to be a Homage Shot to the intro of Mechwarrior 3, as well as one to the teaser of the ill-fated Mechwarrior 5 (which later became Mechwarrior Online). Also referencing Mechwarrior, the Jack of All Stats Atlas-class Titan shares its name with a well-known Assault Battlemech. A British guy is in charge of the IMC's pilot and Titan platoons, much like a certain other British guy in charge of an army of mecha. The Empire has a high-ranking official abandon it and has him offer his services to the ineffective La Résistance, and upon receiving his help, turns them into a Badass Army that scores victory after victory against their enemy. This official also has a good friend who is an officer in The Empire who prefers to effect change from within. For the good of the resistance, the official performs a Heroic Sacrifice. Are we talking about MacAllan and Graves or Lelouch Lamperouge and Suzaku Kururugi? A ruthless Mega-Corp makes use of a Psycho for Hire South African mercenary who ends up fighting against his former employer. Hey, wait a minute: the Spectres in Titanfall even look similar to the droids from that movie! The enormous beasts called the "Leviathans" overruning the Sierra Airbase in Mission 7 look oddly similar to the creatures from The Mist. The robot butler AI personality named Jeeves is an explicit reference to the Jeeves and Wooster TV series though and because the AI's portrait resembles Hugh Laurie who played Wooster. The description for the "Nuke" insignia is "Hail to the king, baby." | |

Cannon Fodder | |

Cannon Fodder: AI-controlled "Grunts", who more or less serve as MOBA "creeps". Killing them contributes towards getting to a player's Titanfall threshold and the team's score on particular game modes. They don't pose a very serious threat unless a player is inattentive. Private matches give options for upping the threat posed by grunts and spectres, however. | |

Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: Despite its futuristic setting, there are only three energy weapons present in Titanfall, two of them only accessible by Titans. Old-fashioned machine guns and (futuristic) rocket launchers are still used by pilots and Titans alike. In addition, the railgun (available in Titan loadouts) is one of the more powerful weapons in the game, capable of taking down even an Ogre in just a few hits at almost any range. | |

Our Weapons Will Be Boxy in the Future: Played with, with most anti-personnel firearms occupying about the same place in terms of boxiness as modern weapons, though the Hemlok BF-R seems to be a deliberate homage to science-fiction guns using this aesthetic. Many of the titan weapons, on the other hand, are shaped rather like large metal boxes, and, true to the trope, are proportionally huge compared to the titans carrying them. | |

Action Bomb: One use of Titans are as walking nuclear bombs: while mainly used to attempt a Taking You with Me attack when the Titan is doomed, it's also useful for clearing out clusters of enemy Titans or dealing major damage to an enemy dropship during the Epilogue of matches. | |

Ludicrous Gibs | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_db33bc7e | comment |
Ludicrous Gibs: For the most part, any interaction between a Titan and anything that's not a Titan will result in this. Walking over a pilot/grunt will instantly crush them, and most Titan weapons will reduce pilots/grunts into tiny pieces, if hit directly. Meleeing a pilot with your Titan, even if they're in mid-air, turns them into a red mist. More specifically, the Stryder-class Titan has an execution attack (meleeing an enemy titan once it has been doomed) that shows it tearing the enemy pilot from their cockpit and squeezing them until they explode. | |

Hand Wave | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_dbc2a0cd | comment |
Handwave: Burn Cards as the presentation for the Comeback Mechanic, explained as rather illegal cards given to pilots pre-missions that stand for aftermarket upgrades - if a pilot needs it, they'll burn them before they deploy. The mysterious benefactor who slipped them under the door is never brought up again. | |

On-Ride/On-Foot Combat | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_e1fa8bfd | comment |
On-Ride/On-Foot Combat: Both games use this as their main hook. The Player Character is the pilot of a Humongous Mecha (whose AI allows it to also function as a Robot Buddy), and gameplay of the main campaigns involves switching between the mecha, and the more maneuverable pilot (with some levels forcing you to stay inside, some forcing you to explore on foot, and others letting you decide what works best). The multiplayer treats riding a mecha as more of a powerup (albeit with some tradeoffs) granted by achieving enough kills. | |

Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: Played with; the Militia are seen as terrorists by the IMC, but serve as protecting the Frontier. At the same time, not everyone in the Frontier sees the Militia as heroes. MacAllan specifically founded the colony the Militia find him in to get away from the war. As he so fittingly puts it: | |

Diegetic Interface: It's subtle, but your Titan's cooldown markers and other HUD elements are one. When your Titan closes its cockpit they take a few seconds to appear, and when your pilot looks down to trigger an eject some of them can be seen at the edge of the screen. | |

Cutscene Power to the Max | |
| Titanfall (Video Game) / int_fe262584 | comment |
Cutscene Power to the Max: A few cases. At the beginning of the IMC campaign in "Made Men", a group of Spectres bring down a Militia Titan by dog-piling it. Spectres are nowhere nearly that effective in actual gameplay. Zig-zagged when a decent player pops the "Spectre Camo" burn card, in which case there is a highly competent Spectre running around the map, and it may very well rodeo a Titan. The Frontier Defense Co-op wave defense game mode gives Spectres the ability to rodeo Titans. At the beginning of the final campaign mission, Militia players can watch an Atlas leap on top of a dropship and bring it to the ground. | |
