Titanfall 2 First Update “Angel City’s Most Wanted”


Titanfall 2 has released the first of many free updates to the multiplayer, just in time too because Respawn just announced a free multiplayer weekend. The update brings back players to the first Titanfall with the Angel City map. Along with balancing changes and bug fixes, the biggest change is to the Titans. Because of free DLCs, Respawn added a cosmetic store to make you look good in battle. This is the first of many free “DLC” for Titanfall 2.

Free Multiplayer Trial Weekend
Respawn is opening a free multiplayer weekend for all platforms. With so many FPS games released this year Titanfall 2 might have fallen out of player’s radar.  This is a great way to try out Titanfall 2 if you haven’t already. EA Access and Origin Access members will have an early start on PC, which started yesterday November 30th. The free trial will release for all platforms on December 2nd. When participating in the trial, any progress you have made will carry over if you decide to buy the full game.

New Map: Angel City
The DLC is called “Angel City’s Most Wanted”, which is the name of the new map. This map will be familiar for fans of the first game, because it is a remastered version. The map is currently playable for per-order purchasers and will be live for everyone on Friday December 2 at 4pm PST.


Cool Titans for Titanfall 2
What makes Titanfall so different from all other FPS are the Titans. Now Respawn is taking it a little farther with the new additions of Titan kits. This gives Titans more abilities, for example; Ronin: Phase Reflex – Ronin phases out of danger when doomed, or Ion: Refraction Lens -A rifle that splits five ways. This provides diverse gameplay on Titans.

Customization of Titans was a major point in this DLC, because of the addition of the new paid cosmetic store. You can now change the chassis of any Titan unlocking new sounds, and execution. Killing and earning points for your team is important, but that doesn’t matter if your Titan isn’t looking as cool as you feel.



DLC Complete
Titanfall 2 released almost a month ago, I’ve know that upcoming DLCs will be free which is why I chose Titanfall over Battlefield and Call of Duty. It was a bit of a surprise because the game is still relatively new, but I’m not going to complain. This is great for the community because there were so many shooters releasing around Titanfall not enough players were expose to this newish shooting title. Right now, is the perfect time to start with the free multiplayer weekend.

When Respawn announced that all DLCs will be free I thought, “how will they make money from the game?” Sure enough, they’ve added an in-game store purely for cosmetics. Players can only purchase cosmetics through real money, players cannot use in game currency to gain access to the cosmetics.

If Respawn keeps supporting Titanfall 2 like they did in the first month of release, this game can become or overshadow the biggest shooters.

Fortnite: Battle Royale: Season 4 Just Made Some Crazy Changes and I in Love with it

Fortnite has become this huge juggernaut in the gaming industry ever since Epic released their Battle Royale mode in late September. The Battle Pass implementation gave the player a progression system that gamify the Battle Royale mode, of which PUBG does not have. Having something to accomplish in-between gathering and fighting during each match creates a sense of accomplishment. In a game where there is a 100-player free-for-all fight, your chances of winning are low, allowing the Battle Pass rewards gives the player this satisfaction of accomplishment even if you lose. Over the past month, Epic has been teasing and creating ARGs in-game for the lead up to Season 4. Hearing about the meteors crashing down on Tilted Towers was cool but I didn’t think anything of it, as I thought it to be a cosmetic choice. But after seeing the video where Titled Towers got hit with small meteors during a match made me believe that the rumored Superhero themed Season Pass might be true. Long a
