Send Your Best Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 Clips

It's a good time for multiplayer shooters, and we want to showcase your craziest, best, or funniest triumphs in-game.

With Titanfall 2, and Battlefield 1 releasing back-to-back, IGN is looking for your best clips from either game. We'll then share those videos with the IGN audience for the whole world to gawk over.

If you catch one such feat of first-person shooting triumph, just send it to clips@ign.com. Please include the name of the game, your online ID, and a brief description of the video in the subject line. Example: "Titanfall 2 -xXTF2SkillsXx - Titan Drop Kill"

The episode, titled "The Fall," will feature the co-creator and showrunner of the FX series doing something he's never done before: directing. It allowed him to try a new experience, he explained to IGN, while also understanding the process of creating a show in a new way.
