Good news Titanfall PC gamers, if you were missing the Capture the Flag (CTF) and Pilot Hunter modes in the game, you might be pleased to learn that Respawn Entertainment has announced that they will be bringing one of the features back. For those unfamiliar with those features because you never explored the game, Respawn had initially removed them due to the lack of players playing it.

What this meant is that gamers who did want to play it ended up being stuck in a loop when trying to be matchmade with other gamers. In fact Respawn’s stats revealed that less than 1% of the player population played CTF mode. Well regardless it looks like the feature is back, and Respawn has implemented a new system that will no longer cause players to be stuck in a loop when trying to find a game.

“[W]e’re introducing a test of even wider region searches. If you’re searching for 5 minutes without starting a game, [the matchmaker] will eventually widen your search to include neighboring continents. This means you might end up in a game with a much higher ping than you’re used to, but as players pointed out; playing is preferred to not playing at all!”

Unfortunately this only applies to CTF mode. Respawn has not mentioned if they will be bringing back Pilot Hunter mode for the PC, but in the meantime if you were hoping to get some CTF games going on, hopefully the changes Respawn made will result in a better experience.

Yes, we have heard about how well the Xbox One has done in terms of its “sales” – actually, Microsoft revealed that 5 million Xbox Ones were shipped to retailers, so as to the total number of those shipped that ended up in the hands of actual gamers remain to be seen. Its arch rival, the Sony PS4, however, has sold 7 million units and counting. Nevertheless, we do know that having the right software will also help propel the sales of hardware, and Titanfall is one of such titles that has helped shift a number of Xbox One units recently, at least in the UK.

The folks over at Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts ought to be congratulated, as Titanfall for Xbox One is the number one selling game in March, at least this is what the NPD Group figures showed as released.

Also, I suppose with the introduction of Titanfall on the Xbox One, gamers happen to spend more time with their beloved console, where the NPD states that each fan spends on average, five hours per day on the Xbox One, with a collective total of over 1 billion hours of time spent in games and apps on the console. Have you given Titanfall a go yet, if you haven’t done so already? [Press Release]

Titanfall On Xbox One Is Top Selling Title , original content from Ubergizmo, Filed in Gaming, Titanfall, Xbox One,

We all know that the game Titanfall is an exclusive for the Xbox and PC. You can’t get the game on any Sony consoles now and may not ever be … Continue reading

Most games made and sold are usually done to make a profit, especially if it’s a particularly famous franchise that they’re building off on. After all someone’s got to pay the bills and the developers right? Well it seems that not everyone is that interested in making a profit, and Titanfall’s producer, Drew McCoy, is one of them.

Speaking to the folks at GameSpot, McCoy basically stated that he does not care if the game is making a profit or not. “I don’t know if it’s making a profit, I don’t know if it’s meeting sales expectations. I don’t really care.” He states that this because at the end of the day it was about making a game that he enjoys playing, and that is the important thing.

“I care that I worked on a game that I can sit down and enjoy playing. The fact that people enjoy it and it has made enough that we [get to] continue supporting it as a studio, that’s to me a success. We make games because we love them and we want other people to play them with us.”

Naturally with FPS games on the console, it gets compared to more popular franchise such as Call of Duty and Battlefield, competition which he does not seem to be particularly interested in engaging in.  he also hopes that Titanfall is a game that will inspire others to make their own game rather than follow a formula, but then again with the success of franchises such as Call of Duty and Battlefield, who wouldn’t want to rely on the formula, especially if it could mean the same level of success, right?

“There’s been some really colossal failures… there’s been games that looked at what’s popular and go ‘oh, if we have this, people will buy our game.’ And then it just completely fails, because they missed the reason as to why that game was good and they didn’t try anything new.” But what do you guys think? Does Titanfall truly feel like a game that was designed to be played, or designed to rake in a healthy profit?
