Things were not always perfect for the firstTitanfallgame, though. There were complaints that the game featured no story mode or offline play, and that the inclusion of bots would give confuse players in online matches. The sequel,Titanfall 2introduced a singleplayer story mode, though complaints with original game persisted, especially over the years as it became more difficult to log onto the servers forTitanfall.
