I HATED that I paid full $$ for TF1's short, awful campaign (Gaming)

That's what I was thinking as well. I thought it was abundantly clear exactly what Titanfall 1 was.

I'm glad to hear TF2 has a good campaign. Jeff Gerstmann really seemed to enjoy it as well, and I find my opinions lining up with his pretty often, so my interest is definitely piqued. I'm planning on Redboxing Battlefield 1 just to play the campaign--I think I'll have to do the same for Titanfall 2 now. If I can pull myself away from Civilization 6 . . .

Redboxed BF1 for two days. Played the first three missions (and Prologue) two/three times each. They're fun, and with an odd-but-welcome focus on stealth (felt the same way when playing Wolfestein: TNO). If you're a fan of stealth games, crank up the difficulty and have at it. I didn't finish every story, but really liked what I played (if the fact that I played the missions repeatedly doesn't clue you in).

Don't want to spoil anything, but one of the stories caught me off guard with how over-the-top it was (while the other stories had a noticeable reverence towards the struggles of WW1), only to have a neat twist at the very end that helps sell the events. It was very well done.

I didn't get to finish, because I tried out Tropico 5, and if you're not careful, that game will grab you and refuse to let go.

I'm seeing a lot of Titanfall 2 in Redbox, so I might pick that up tomorrow evening. Not sure if I'll buy TF2 or Rise of the Tomb Raider, which isn't at any Redbox yet...
So many games this season... So many games...
