The lights are on
Over the weekend, Respawn announced the first $10 DLC for Titanfall. Today, game director Steve Fukuda has shared information on how the team will be updating the game between content drops.
Fukuda has broken down updates into three core categories. Minor tweaks and fixes, what Fukuda calls “tending the garden,” are where you’ll find weapon balance tweaks, challenge improvements, and minor scoring fixes (like the changes made to Hardpoint recently).
Convenience updates are small tweaks that make the game features a bit more user friendly. These include the upcoming ability to name custom loadouts and make weapon sets for different modes. You’ll also be able to filter challenges in different ways and review game scores in the lobby.
Infrastructure features include things like private matches (now in beta). You’ll also see elements related to competition, but Fukuda has only teased what this might entail.
There are new burn cards coming and the ability to put decals on your Titans (called “Nose Art”). There will also be new modes and variants. Outside of the paid map packs, all of these updates will be free. For more, visit our review of the Xbox One/PC versions and the Xbox 360 installment.

Our TakeBefore Titanfall’s launch, I identified the communication coming out of Respawn during the beta as one of the title’s strengths. This continues today with a level of openness we don’t always see from triple-A developers. The more players understand about where the game is going, the more likely they are to stick around and help foster a strong community.
I'm liking the frequency and the very openness about these updates as well. And Titan customization sounds just awesome, plus burn cards are a nice bonus. Nothing would stop them from throwing it into the DLC, but I'm really liking the approach Respawn is taking here.
I wonder if it's a decal system like Halo's. Anyway, glad to see Respawn listening to the fans and making new tweaks and adjustments.
i hope they come up with a cool emblem system similar to what cod offers
Can not wait to get this update
Wow, Respawn is doing an incredible job of supporting the game post launch.
I love it..................favorite game in YEARS
They should add gun camos. Everybody loves gun camos
10$ is reasonabe
"Elements related to competition"
I'm curious what this will be.
I always wanted yo make my Titan look different than everyone else's. Thank you Respawn for listening to demands.
I might just be really unlucky but ever since the last matchmaking update to this game, I haven't won once. Teams always seem stacked against me.
