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.

Check out the full patch notes here. Thanks to VG247.com

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.

Destiny 2’s New “Gambit” Mode Revived the Game’s Competitive Scene

Destiny 2’s competitive scene has always been a second thought compared to the co-op PvE activities. At the launch of Destiny 2 Bungie tried a different more team-play orientated approach with an all 4v4 pvp match-up. Over time players got tired of that formula, especially, the way players were strategizing. The only way to be competitive is to team-shot a player at long distance, this was the only way everyone played. This kept the matches long and stale. Bungie understood the frustration and decided that they will change something about the Crucible (PvP). In July, Bungie pushed an update that changed the 4v4 format for Crucible to a 6v6, just how it was like in Destiny 1. Adding two more players on a team might not seem like a big change, but it completely changes how freely your team can strategize, this is especially true with solo matchmaking. Bungie knocked it out of the park with this change, of course they had a lot of help from the community. The community wanted th...

The Calming, out of this World Experience from Tetris Effect is a Great Change of Pace and Emotion from Other Tetris games

Ahh, Tetris. A game that your parents and almost every other parent knows. The longevity of it has made it evolve over its existents with the “hold” mechanic – which I’ve grown up with -- and doubling down on the competitive nature of Tetris with Tetris Battle, Tetris DS, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and more. Growing up I was terrible at Tetris – making lines with falling blocks was simple enough, but I didn’t understand how to fix my mistakes. There are many insane Tetris players that I can’t even think about competing with. The stress of trying to keep the best layout of blocks while trying to keep up with my opponent is too intense for my taste. However, Tetris Effect is the total opposite of all those competitive Tetris incarnations. The way Enhanced Games and Mizuguchi plays with music and players emotions to then incorporate it into a puzzle game or even something like Rez: Infinite can give old concepts like Tetris a new breath life. Everything in Tetris Effect is amplified by x...
