Titanfall Update Adds Marked For Death, Titan Burn Cards, More
Titanfall is getting a sizable (free) update very soon. Respawn is getting set to add a new mode, 14 new Titan-focused burn cards, and a host of new customization options.
Marked for Death mode tags one player on each team as the target. The rest of the team has to keep the VIP alive. Shortly after this update, Wingman Last Titan Standing, a two-on-two version of the mode, will be added.
Customization options, like Titan insignia (including a special one for people who completed the Gooser challenge before it was made easier), two new Titan voice over options, and a customizable challenge tracker onboard, also. Auto-titans get a boost, as they will now use all abilities at their disposal, including electric smoke to ward of pilots.
Burn cards are becoming more flexible, and you won’t automatically lose new ones if you go over the limit during a match. You will need to discard down to your maximum capacity, though. You’ll also have easier access to your selected cards during a match, and a more visible prompt reminding you to use them.
You can read the full patch notes on the official Titanfall website. For more, check out our review and our impressions of the first DLC pack, Expedition.

Our Take
The changes in this update add a number of usability features that fans have been asking for. Respawn has kept lines of communication open to players, and the strategy is paying off for both parties.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
