It all starts the weekend of Friday, August 19th, where fans
will be able to play two exciting new Titanfall 2 multiplayer
modes across two maps:
MODES
-
Bounty Hunt (5v5): A brand new mode that
pits Pilots and their teammates against an opposing team as well as
the Remnant Fleet. Earn bonuses by killing grunts and enemies, but
make sure and deposit all your points at the bank between waves
without getting killed.
-
Pilots vs. Pilots (8v8): Players can be
the best Pilot on the Frontier and put their combat and mobility
skills to the ultimate test in this classic 8 vs 8 Pilots only mode.
MAPS
-
Boomtown: A secret underground IMC
facility where the latest in R&D is put to the test. In this facility
Pilots can use the many peaked roofs to use as cover against
combatants below. With tight lanes through the middle, Titans can also
be easily ambushed.
-
Homestead: The IMC have claimed Imminent
Domain on a small commune's plot of land. With a series of raised,
rocky plateaus and a river running down the middle, Pilots are mostly
safe from Titans among the rocks and trees but they also can duck into
the caves and building when needed. However, the Titans control the
large rolling fields.
During the second weekend of the Titanfall 2 open multiplayer
technical test, all the content from the previous weekend will still be
available, plus a brand new mode and map for players to enjoy:
MODE
-
Amped Hardpoint (6v6): A new twist on
Hardpoint Domination from the original game; now defending a Hardpoint
will let you amp it, giving your team double score. Team work is the
key to securing victory.
MAP
-
Forward Base Kodai: Militia forces have
taken over an IMC substation and set up a forward operating base.
Pilots can find safety from Titans in the hallways and chambers of the
main building, while Titans can walk over the roof to get a better
view of the action.
During the open multiplayer technical test, fans will have access to two
all-new Titans: Ion and Scorch, as well as a range of Pilot tactical
abilities including Grapple, Holo Point, and Pulse Blade. Fans will also
have access to a variety of weapons including a deadly horizontal spread
shotgun known as the Masttiff and the Alternator, a dual-barrel SMG.
In addition, players are encouraged to try out Networks, a brand new
feature in Titanfall 2 that makes finding and playing with
friends fast and easy. To learn more about the Titanfall 2 Open
Multiplayer Technical Test, head over to www.titanfall.com

To see the first live multiplayer gameplay from Titanfall 2 be

8pm CET/11am PT on August 16 at https://www.twitch.tv/titanfall.
The Titanfall 2 Factions livestream will see some of the biggest
names in the Titanfall community facing off for bragging rights
on the Frontier.
Titanfall 2 is crafted by one of the co-creators of Call of
Duty and other key designers behind the Call of Duty
franchise, and is set to build on the foundation Respawn established
with the first Titanfall - fast, fluid, fun gameplay between
Pilots and Titans. Titanfall 2 will also mark the debut of a
crafted single player experience that explores the unique bond between
man and machine. Playable offline, the single player campaign in Titanfall
2 will let fans step out onto the Frontier as a Militia rifleman
with aspirations of becoming an elite Pilot. Stranded behind enemy lines
and facing overwhelming odds, players must team up with a veteran Titan
to uphold a mission they were never meant to carry out.
Titanfall® 2 will drop worldwide on Friday, October 28, 2016 for
Xbox One, Origin
for PC, and for the first time ever for the franchise, PlayStation
4. Fans wanting to hit The Frontier first on October 28 can pre-order Titanfall
2 now at Titanfall.com.
For those looking to have the ability to customize every titan day one,
the Titanfall 2 Deluxe Edition offers day-one access to exclusive
Warpaints and Nose Arts, two camouflages, and more.**
