Titanfall – Fourth Update Detailed – Introduces New Game Mode, Packs Matchmaking Improvements

6 Comments

Respawn has detailed the fourth major update for Titanfall that will be released really soon. Ironically, there is still no mention about those promised Nvidia features that were advertised a couple of months ago (and at this point, we’re uncertain whether they will be implemented at all).

According to Respawn, a new game mode will be included and will be called Marked For Death. In Marked For Death, a player on each team will be marked for death and all the other players will have to kill the enemy mark while protecting their teammate.

Respawn also revealed that a new game mode will be introduced via another update and will be called Wingman Last Titan Standing.

Respawn has also made improvements to matchmaking & team balancing. As a result of those improvements, the teams will be rearranged just before the level loads, to further balance the teams’ skill and player counts.

Below you can find the list of bug fixes that will be featured in this fourth update. We also suggest visiting Titanfall’s official website for a complete list of what this new update will bring to the table.
