They started at Electronic Arts with MOH. They left EA and went to Activision. Under Infinity Ward they created MW2, which is maybe the only digestible COD game ever made. They got bored with ATVI by doing COD day and night. At the time the rumor was they wanted to make scifi games, but ATVI forbade them. So they formed Respawn and went back to EA. TitanFall 1-2 were just terrible games, and EA also botched the marketing (like they usually do when they didn't want a franchise to grow wings). And seemingly they were doing Battlefield at EA lately.

Titanfall 2 is a fantastic game with perhaps the best single player FPS campaign for fast FPS games, and a skill ceiling that's incredibly high in multiplayer which is still alive to this day. Did you mean to say "terrific" instead of terrible?
The 'and also' indicates that he means terrible, and this person has no taste.
You have no taste. TF2 had such a bland, emptyheaded story and a weightless mech experience that it literally hurts anyone above 110 IQ.
What FPS stories you think were good?
Story is just one part of the overall experience. Good is an exaggeration, but not braindead and bland is a good start. There are many like HL, Hexen, Heretic, Blood, NOLF, Bioshock, System shock 1 to name a few.
Titanfall 2 is a masterpiece. You have no idea what you are talking about.
Maybe the multiplayer, but I'm talkin about the single player campaign, which was godawful.
This is crazy talk. The single player campaign is considered as one of the best in FPS games ever.
By who? :D And on what grounds?
Exactly.
Titanfall 2 was excellent.
