A Titanfall Mode Without Titans? That's Different
The next update for Titanfall will add an all pilots mode. No Titans, no AI bots.
The new mode is called Pilot Skirmish and it’s coming to Titanfall’s Featured Game Mode slot with the sixth game update. Pilot skirmish will feature 8 versus 8 man-to-man combat. You can play it and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and argue over which one is a clone!
Respawn Entertainment also announced that the Marked for Death game mode that was introduced as a previous Featured Game Mode was so popular it will get a permanent slot. Marked for Death is a lethal version of “It” in which one player on each team becomes the marked target and must be defended by their side and hunted down by the opposition.
Other features added in game update six will include: some modes to make screen information easier to understand for colorblind pilots (kudos to Respawn for adding this feature); the ability to buy individual Burn Cards on the Black Market introduced in update five; a new rare burn card called Roll The Dice that lets you tap your whole deck during a match (I guess the “I Win Card” was too on the nose); a Burn Card Autofill for those that sometimes forget to add cards; and no more penalties for joining matches late. If you join after the halfway point of the match you get the win if you win, you don’t take the loss if you lose.
The update will also include a number of optimizations, gameplay tweaks, and bugfixes. You can read it all here.
No word on when the update will be out, but expect it for Xbox One and PC soon. The Xbox 360 release will follow sometime after that.
