With Titanfall dropping in the charts, people might be getting a bit tired of multiplayer mech mayhem. Good thing that Respawn Co-founder Vince Zampella has plans for additions to keep the game fresh, but over the last few days, he's only offered scant details on the new content via Twitter.
For example, private lobbies are a "priority feature," but there's no date as to when players can expect them, and when asked about new game modes, Zampella responded simply, "Yes." We'll keep you posted if he ever offers something a bit more in-depth.
In basic, everyday generic news, Titanfall on both the Xbox One and PC has received a game update. There's the usual array of fixes that have done away with problems associated with the titular mech, like rodeoing, ejecting, getting stuck, warping, and ending up out of bounds. The most notable thing the patch does is make some adjustments to Dead Man's Trigger and the Smart Pistol.
