Titanfall 2

Titanfall 2 dropped in October 2016 right into a meat grinder. Call of Duty and Battlefield both launched within the same two-week window. Respawn's timing was catastrophic, but the game itself was a masterpiece. We streamed it hard because we believed in it. The campaign was phenomenal—the best single-player shooter campaign in years. The multiplayer took everything Titanfall did right and refined it. Wall-runs flowed, Titans felt powerful, the flow of combat was immaculate. But the launch was bungled so badly that most people never discovered what we'd found. We were streaming a brilliant game to middling audiences because marketing went nowhere. Still, we put 217 hours in throughout 2016. That's commitment to a title we genuinely loved, even when the world had decided to ignore it.

Two hundred seventeen hours in 2016 shows we didn't abandon Titanfall 2 despite its tragic launch window. We averaged 559 viewers with peaks at 1,296—solid numbers for a game that got buried under Call of Duty's release might. Over 114,000 hours watched came from the dedicated community who found Titanfall 2 despite the chaos. These were quality viewers, engaged players who appreciated what Respawn had built. Titanfall 2 never became the mainstream phenomenon it deserved to be, but we captured the community that knew exactly what they had.

Titanfall 2 created a special moment on our channel. We were streaming a game we absolutely loved knowing most of gaming had moved on. That created a vibe—it felt like we were part of a secret club that understood this game's brilliance. Chat was quality, passionate, made up of people who actively loved Titanfall 2 instead of casually passing through. The campaign streaming created these boss-fight moments where we'd struggle on a difficult section and chat would rally. The multiplayer brought competitive energy. It was intimate, committed, genuine.
