Hello friends,

Today we are revealing our 6th DLC drop for Titanfall 2 called The War Games and it will be available for free for all platforms on June 27th! We’ll have the trailer for you at launch.

For now, let’s breakdown what you’re getting:

• Map: War Games – Pilots on the Frontier frequently use simulator pods to train, using life-like recreations of historical battles as combat scenarios. War Games highlights the civilian shops, tall buildings for window-to-window fighting, and city streets for Titan combat from the Battle of Angel City, and the large, open tank garage facilities for hand-to-hand Pilot combat from the Battle of Airbase Sierra. The outskirts of the map feature a clean, VR style perfect for Titan duels, while Pilots are often found running along the bright, interconnected wallrunning routes.
  

• Live Fire Map: Traffic –A weathered test site where pilot positioning is pitted against mobility across two busy thoroughfares. Dense cover makes every corner a threat, with room for snipers to hide in the back fields.

• New Execution: Shadow Boxing [Holo Pilot]
  Get 20 pilot kills while a holopilot ability is active (Both normal holopilot and boost ability holopilot nova count.) Does not retroactively count.
  
• 3rd Weapon Slot for Pilots – You will now be able to equip a primary, secondary, and anti-titan weapon.
• Titan Brawl will be added to the permanent list of game modes. Titan damage will be displayed instead of assists.
• New Featured Mode: Free Agents
• Additional details for balance changes, features, and updates will be provided in the patch notes closer to launch.

We kicked off the week with EA Play where we had a booth where folks could come play some Titanfall 2 and come hang out and chat with Respawn devs. We had a lot to celebrate and talk about! During the weekend we shared that:

• We're extremely proud of Titanfall 2, and with close to 20 million people having experienced the Titanfall franchise, through either the original Titanfall or with Titanfall 2, we're committed to the franchise and excited by the opportunities ahead of us.
• Since launch we’ve released 5 content drops, free for all players, and continue to see a vibrant, engaged playerbase with currently over a million active players a month.
• Titanfall 2 will support Xbox One X. This means 4K resolution for increased fidelity as well as support for dynamic super scaling.
• We’re not done with DLC yet! Our next update in July will be huge and will include the long-awaited return of a favorite mode from the original Titanfall…

[deoee]

Best game keeps getting better

 

[Spartancarver]

[OdysseusVA]

Its slowly getting there. Im hoping they have the High TTK default before the patch hits

 

[Bronetta]

Wasnt the first game 3 weapons to begin with?

 

[Ishmae1]

1X support
3 weapon slots
You know which mode coming in July

Yeah, we're almost at perfection.

(just improve Scorch a bit)

 

[Alienous]

3rd Weapon Slot for Pilots – You will now be able to equip a primary, secondary, and anti-titan weapon.

What an innovation.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Yes lol

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

What mode is coming?

 

[Alienous]

When can I expect "Pilots will now be able to ride hostile Titans indefinitely"?

 

[Xeroblade]

One step closer....... can't wait for all these goodies.

 

[kaishek]

super excited for secondaries, titan brawl adjustments, and FRONTIER DEFENSE

I play this game intensely for 1-2 week periods every month, but then drop off. A few tweaks and I'll be a TF2 lifer.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Titanfall 3

 

[HassanJamal]

The game that keeps on giving. Also that VR map sounds neat. Cant wait for these to drop along with a kick ass trailer.

 

[Prodigenius10]

Back to the OG Titanfall with those 3 weapon slots.I almost never used a side arm because the Anti-Titan weapons were more useful in most other game modes. Im loving this game more and more with each update.

Thank you based Respawn.

So i'm guessing the increased TTK will be next month if all goes well for the current test.

 

[rokkerkory]

Titanfall 2 will support Xbox One X. This means 4K resolution for increased fidelity as well as support for dynamic super scaling.

I am excite!

 

[amdb00mer]

YO THREE WEAPON SLOTS?
THIS GAME IS PERFECT NOW

That is the best part of this update in my opinion. Maps are always welcome, but It will be nice to have a proper full loadout now.

 

[kuYuri]

Having a primary, secondary, and an AT weapon may make me finally jump into the multiplayer. 😂

 

[kiguel182]

Three weapon slots is something I wanted since the beggining.

Yesterday I got my ass handed to me in a CTF game but this makes me stop being mad at the game. Probably will stop playing CTF...

 

[BrettHeazy]

Woah! Three weapon slots! Awesome!

Also that traffic maps screenshot is reminding me of a particular modern warfare 3 map, just can't think of the name of it.

 

[RacketLawnchair]

How is the population on PC these days?

 

[Chorazin]

Holy shit, three weapons slots means I suddenly wanna play this again. Woohoo!

 

[JigglesBunny]

Three weapon slots is a game changer, can't fucking wait. Best multiplayer game of the generation keeps delivering.

YO THREE WEAPON SLOTS?

No lie. Like forreal forreal no lie....last night I was playing with my brother online and was telling him how I wish they had a 3rd weapon slot so I can carry a sniper rifle with me instead of an anti-titan weapon only.

I cannot believe the timing here and couldn't be happier.

 

[Dez_]

Respawn has been doing a fantastic job with these updates. This map was dlc from the first game, right? I never got to play it, but it sure looked cool. Can't wait to try it out.

 

[Marvel]

Nice, will jump back in.

 

[Slayven]

When can I expect "Pilots will now be able to ride hostile Titans indefinitely"?

biggest fuck you change of all

 

[KDC720]

I've been a Titanfall 2 kick for like the past couple weeks after a long hiatus, so I'm stoked for this update.

Phenomenal support by Respawn.

 

[orichalcos]

3 slots? OMG, yesss.

 

[deoee]

How is the population on PC these days?

Last week when I played it was around 3k players.
Matchmaking took 30-60 sec.

 

[5taquitos]

This is great, but why are they so averse to designing an actually NEW full-size map?

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

What the fuck is a "dynamic super scaling"?

These dudes be making shit up as they go along .

 

[Chris1]

Wooooo War Games. Gonna jump back in, haven't played in ages.

3 weapon slots are back? Good news. They should never have removed it, I bet Collinwood is happy ;P

Also good news about Horde Mode next month! That will make a lot of people happy

 

[TacticalHotdog]

What the fuck is a "dynamic super scaling"?

These dudes be making shit up as they go along .

Basically dynamic resolution depending on the framerate.

 

[Prodigenius10]

No lie. Like forreal forreal no lie....last night I was playing with my brother online and was telling him how I wish they had a 3rd weapon slot so I can carry a sniper rifle with me instead of an anti-titan weapon only.

I'm not sure how its going to work in this game but based on my experience with Titanfall 1 it's One Primary, One Side Arm and One Anti-Titan Weapon. The sniper would have to be your primary weapon along with a side Arm and an Anti-Titan weapon.

 

[ebullientprism]

Oh shit dawg. Secondary weapon slot. Pistol HYPE!

They are really hitting it out of the park with the support of this game. GG Respawn. GG.

 

[ryseing]

1X support
3 weapon slots
You know which mode coming in July

Yeah, we're almost at perfection.

(just improve Scorch a bit)

Cannot wait for Frontier Defense. Respawn knows how to pull me back in.

Dammit. I thought I'd be able to do this:

Primary: Assault Rifle
Secondary: Sniper Rifle
Anti-Titan: Launcher

 

[Bronetta]

These dudes be making shit up as they go along .

Game drops resolution to maintain 60fps in intensive situation.

Many games do this.

 

[jfoul]

So awesome. I just got back into this a couple weeks ago.

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

Holy cow, so not even Titanfall 2 can run locked 60fps and native 4K on Xbox One X? It's great news though. Game looks rather blurry on Xbox One right now.

 

[ToxicPhantom]

The game was perfect with the two weapons, but now a third, even better! YAS!!

 

[Spartancarver]

Interested in what gets balanced this patch. R-97 SMG is basically easy mode at this point.

What's this about an increased TTK patch in the works?

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

I like jumping in for a few matches every few weeks, but I probably don't play enough to have huge complaints, except for wanting new maps.

I didn't play the original, so wondering what the new mode will be.

 

[5taquitos]

I didn't play the original, so wondering what the new mode will be.

If it's not horde mode (Frontier), then Respawn is either deaf or insane.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Interested in what gets balanced this patch. R-97 SMG is basically easy mode at this point.

What's this about an increased TTK patch in the works?

Theres currently a "High TTK" mode that increases, well, the TTK They're testing it with the community and may enable it across the board.

 

[Prodigenius10]

Interested in what gets balanced this patch. R-97 SMG is basically easy mode at this point.

What's this about an increased TTK patch in the works?

They are currently testing the game with an increased TTK. It is the featured game mode right now. There are other changes that comes with it such as Phase Shift having 1 charge but lasts 1/2 second longer, slower stim and a few weapon changes.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

aww lawwdy

This game just keeps giving.


Hoping for frontier defence + new pilot abilites in the next few months.

this game seems prime for a 30$ campaign expansion

 

[Sword Of Doom]

I need to jump back into this game. I still play once or twice a month and it's always fun. The support has been great. I buy stuff from time to time just to support their efforts.

I was wondering why everyone was using this the last time I played.
