Microsoft has announced 2 new games are being enhanced for Xbox One X. During Microsoft pre-Gamescom livesteam, Aaron Greenberg, the head of games marketing at Microsoft, revealed Halo 5 and Quantum Break are both receiving free 4K updates for Xbox One X. Greenberg also stated that Microsoft is pleased with the feedback coming in from third-party developers that are working with Xbox One X.

Titanfall 2 Getting New Map In Game Mode Soon

Respawn has announced that the Live Fire mode in Titanfall 2 will be available in February. It’s apparently inspired by playing speedball in paintball, according to the mode's designer Griffin Dean. In the 6 v 6 mode, players have 60 seconds to grab a neutral flag. Whoever has the flag when the timer runs out wins, regardless of how many lives have been lost up to that point. The mode will be available, for free, in February. Also in March, the map Colony will be available for free.

Titanfall: Frontline Has Been Cancelled

According to GamesIndustry.biz, Respawn Entertainemnt has cancelled Titanfall: Frontline. The Titanfall-themed mobile card game was to be the first in a multi-title partnership with mobile specialist Nexon. A statement on the Titanfall: Frontline website reads:

"We’ve learned an incredible amount in the beta test of Titanfall: Frontline, but in the end felt the experience wasn't ready to deliver the intense action-packed gameplay synonymous with Titanfall. While it’s never easy to cancel a game, we’re excited to take some of the concepts we saw resonate with players and build off of them in future Titanfall mobile games."

Those participating in the game's closed beta will see the servers shut off on January 20.

Titanfall 2 Getting A New Titan, Legion

Titanfall 2 developer Respawn Enterainment have released a teaser trailer for a new Titan, Legion. Legion's main weapon is the minigun-like Predator Cannon, which utilizes two different modes: long-range and auto-lock. The long-range option seems to work like a regular gun; just aim the cannon at your enemies and pull the trigger. Auto-lock, on the other hand, seems like a special ability that allows players to hit enemies by only aiming in their general direction. The new Titan can also utilize its Gun Shield to defend itself. The shield can be active at the same time you're shooting enemies, but it only seems to protect its front. Titanfall 2 releases on October 28 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Angel City Returning In Titanfall 2

Respawn Entertainment has announced via its Twitter account that the iconic map Angel City for Titanfall will be returning in Titanfall 2 for free. Also those who preorder the game will get early access to the map. Titanfall 2 will be released on October 28 for PS4, Xbox One and PC. 

Fan Feedback Leads To Changes In Titanfall 2

Due to the first technical test for Titanfall 2, Respawn has changed a few things thanks to fan feedback. Respawn has released a press release explaining the changes. 

Pilot Mobility

Many players are wondering why we changed the mobility from Titanfall 1. We identified two major issues we wanted to solve in Titanfall 2. The first is that a lack of player predictability would often cause players to be shot from the back or sides. While flanking is an important part of gameplay death often felt random instead of skillful. The second issue is that close range firefights were overly chaotic due to erratic player movement. So, changes to pilot mobility stemmed from a desire to improve our gunplay, and not a desire to slow down movement.

We’ll be tuning air speed and wall-running speed to be faster.

While investigating this point, we discovered some unintended side effects that were causing players to lose momentum while wallrunning.

Players should once again accumulate and retain more speed when chaining wallruns.

Additionally, we’re testing scaling back some of the dampening factors that were limiting bunny-hopping as we don’t want these restrictions to impact normal traversal.

Titan Meter

We made some changes in Titanfall 2 with the goal of rewarding players for playing game mode objectives. However, we observed the problem that players can try to play the objective but fail, resulting in slower than intended Titan acquisition. We still want objectives to be the fastest way to get a Titan, but the goal of every player being guaranteed a Titan per match hasn’t changed.

Pilots will once again acquire a small passive amount of Titan meter every few seconds.

Titan Survivability

This is one of the more complex issues to address for several reasons.

First, we’ve changed from Titans having energy shields to a new Titan battery system which we believe improves rodeo gameplay and rewards teamwork. In Titanfall 1, rodeo was lethal to Titans, forcing pilots to disembark and engage in a 50 / 50 fight. In Titanfall 2, the rodeo pilot steals a battery and damages an enemy Titan. If they can give that battery to a friendly Titan, the Titan receives a shield and the Pilot gets Titan meter points. As players become more familiar with the system, we expect that Titans will live longer. This is an area we will continue to monitor leading up to launch.

Another factor is that the balance of Titan gameplay in the Tech Test build is heavily affected by the limited amount of content we released in the build. For example, some Titans that aren’t in the Tech Test have strong defensive abilities, certain Titan kits provide defensive upgrades, and even Pilots have a boost that can improve Titan defenses.

Lastly, there has been a lot of tuning since the Tech Test build that will tone down the amount of damage many weapons deal to Titans.

Titan Mobility

We’ve reduced the number of baseline dashes by one compared to Titanfall 1, but all Titans have access to a new Titan kit that provides an additional dash. This is to balance new mobility or defensive options available to specific Titans. The Tech Test build, however, doesn’t include our fastest Titans. Despite our confidence in our top-end speed, we have heard your feedback that Ion and Scorch feel too slow.

Titan dashes will recharge faster.

Map Design

Some of our Tech Test players have asked if the relatively flat and open design of Homestead is indicative of a new direction for Titanfall, and the answer is no. When designing maps, we strive to make them unique experiences. For example, Homestead changes things up by creating islands of Pilot gameplay where long-range weapons can be effective. This upcoming weekend a new map, Forwardbase Kodai, will be available for play. There is a wide variety of maps for the final game.

We’ll be showcasing more maps over the next couple weeks on our website, including more traditional Titanfall maps.

HUD

We’ve read feedback about the HUD feeling too busy. At launch Titanfall 2 will have menu options that allow players to turn these features on or off based on their individual preferences.

Additionally, there have been concerns about enemy outlines making players too easy to see at a distance. We think this is an important feature for friend or foe identification with the substantial amount of visual customization that will be available at launch in Titanfall 2.

We’re going to bring in the fade distance for enemy outlines so they don’t reveal pilots at extreme distances.

Conclusion

Thanks again very much for participating in the first weekend of the Tech Test. We’re looking forward to hearing from more of you this weekend, as these tests are amazingly helpful in ensuring we have a successful launch. As you can see, your feedback is already being heard and impacting the final game, and we’ll be posting the updates for weekend two in our forums later this week: https://forums.titanfall.com/en-us/categories/game-updates. I also encourage you to read Jon “Slothy” Shiring’s blog on feedback we’ve received from the tech test in regards to server stability, you can check it out here http://www.titanfall.com/en_us/news/tech-test-successes/.

After working on any game behind closed doors it’s always tremendously exciting and useful to finally have players get their hands on it. We value our community, the feedback you provide us, and working with you to make our games better. We look forward to hearing what you think about the updates coming for weekend two of the tech test, and can’t wait to see you all on the Frontier this October.

Titanfall 2's Multiplayer Technical Test Starts This Weekend

Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts announced Gamescom that Titanfall 2's open multiplayer technical test will start this weekend. The test will start on August 19 and will be available for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players for 2 weeks. Those who participate in the technical test during the first week will be able to play 2 different multiplayer modes, including a 5v5 mode called Bounty Hunt that pits a team of Pilots against an opposing group and the Remnant Fleet. The other is an 8v8 mode called Pilots vs. Pilots, which serves as a classic Pilots-only option. 2 maps will be available, Boomtown and Homestead. The second weekend will feature everything mentioned above as well as a 6v6 mode called Amped Hardpoint. A new map called Forward Base Kodai will be added as well. 2 brand new Titans, named Ion and Scorch, as well as a various tactical abilities like Grapple and Pulse Blade and an array of weapons including a shotgun called the Masttiff and a dual barrel SMG called the Alternator will also be added in week 2. Titanfall 2 launches on October 28 for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Titanfall 2 Will Have Free Map And Modes DLC

Titanfall 2 won’t splitting their player base with paid map add-ons. "We'll definitely be supporting Titanfall 2 post-launch, and I can confirm all maps and modes we deliver post-launch will be free," Wightman said. "We'll be talking more about post-launch plans closer to release so stay tuned for more info" said Respawn head of development David Wightman. This isn't to say that Titanfall 2 won't have paid DLC, of course. It’s also nice to see some free DLC from developers, but I wonder what the paid DLC will be like. Maybe a new Titan ? Guess we’ll have to wait and see. What do you think ? What do you think of Titanfall 2 ?Titanfall 2 launches on October 28 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. 

Titanfall 2 Details, Release Date And Collector's Edition

During EA’s E3 press conference today, more info was revealed about Titanfall 2. Titanfall 2 will add 6 new Titans, expanded pilot gameplay, and a deep progression system. The trailer showed off new weapons as well, like a gravity grenade, an anti-air laser and a grappling hook with which pilots can grab other airborne pilots. The trailer also gives a look at the relationship between with pilots and Titans, were the Titans seem to have more of a personality. Titanfall 2 will also feature a single player campaign, which is awesome to hear considering Titanfall 1 didn’t have one. You can watch both the single and multiplayer trailers below. The Titanfall 2 Collector's Edition was also announced. The $250 Collector's Edition gets you the Deluxe Edition of the game, an 8GB dog tag flash drive, an aluminum-cased field journal, the Titanfall 2 Vanguard pilot helmet replica with a light-up faceplate and tactical accessories like a spotlight and laser sight.The helmet can be worn and is a 1:1 replica, including an adjustable interior strap for the perfect fit.

Titanfall 2 Releasing This Fall + EA’s FY Is Looking Good

EA has announced it’s fiscal year Console and PC titles. It will be inserting to see how EA’s Q3 turn out as 2 shooters will be landing this fall. Titanfall 2, developed by Respawn, will launch in the fall alongside DICE’s Battlefield 1. NBA Live has been moved out of the calendar year. It will now launch sometime between January and March. What do you think of Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 both releasing in Q3 ? 

Titanfall 2 Gets A Teaser Trailer

Respawn Entertainment has released a teaser trailer for Titanfall 2. The trailer doesn't reveal much, but does reveal that the mechs in the game can now use swords. (You had me at hello) The teaser also reveals that the game will be coming to PlayStation 4 as well as Xbox One and PC. Electronic Arts says that the game will be at its EA Play event, with more info on Sunday, June 12 at 1pm PT. 

Expect Titanfall 2 To Come Out Sometime After April 2016

During its year end earnings call, EA addressed a question about the next Titanfall. When asked about whether the title might land in the current fiscal year (ending March 31, 2015), EA suggested a later release. In terms of Titanfall, you should expect that's not in fiscal 2016, It's more likely in fiscal 2017.
