Titanfall is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for Microsoft Windows and Xbox One on March 11, 2014; an Xbox 360 version ported by Bluepoint Games was released April 8, 2014. The game was anticipated as the debut title from developers formerly behind the Call of Duty franchise. In Titanfall, players control "pilots" and their mech-style Titans, and fight in six-on-six matches set in war-torn outer space colonies. The game is optimized for fast-paced, continual action, aided by wall-running abilities and populations of computer-controlled soldiers. Up to 50 characters can be active in a single game, and non-player activity is offloaded to Microsoft's cloud computing services to optimize local graphical performance. The game's development team began work on the title in 2011, and their Titan concept grew from a human-sized suit into a battle tank exoskeleton. The team sought to bring "scale, verticality, and story" to its multiplayer genre through elements traditionally reserved for single-player campaigns. The 65-person project took inspiration from Blade Runner, Star Wars, Abrams Battle Tank, and Masamune Shirow of Ghost in the Shell. Titanfall won over 60 awards at its E3 2013 reveal, including a record-breaking six E3 Critics Awards and "Best of Show" from several media outlets. It also won awards at Gamescom and the Tokyo Game Show. Titanfall received generally favorable reviews. Reviewers praised its balance, Smart Pistol weapon, player mobility, and overall accessibility for players of all skill sets, but criticized its thin campaign, disappointing artificial intelligence, and lack of community features and multiplayer modes. Critics considered the game a successful evolution for the first-person shooter genre but did not agree as to whether the game delivered on its anticipation. On March 12, 2015, it was announced that a sequel, Titanfall 2 was in production for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It was released on October 28, 2016.   Millions of gamers have already heard the words “Prepare for Titanfall” crackle over a radio. They’ve experienced the feeling of dropping a Titan from orbit – of hearing the scream of a massive, 24-foot-tall mechanical monstrosity burning through the atmosphere. They’ve fought side-by-side with their Titan, running on walls and climbing buildings as their robotic buddy lays waste to enemies. They’ve jumped into the Titan to take control, and wreaked havoc on their enemies with rockets, plasma pulses, and 40mm rounds. They’ve experienced the future of first-person shooters. And now it’s your turn. Get ready to call down your Titan and join the battle. When you purchase Titanfall, you automatically get the Season Pass, which contains all three map packs – that's a total of nine additional maps to crush your enemies in. . Fluid, fast-paced combat. Your Pilot in Titanfall is more capable than the average soldier. You can run on walls and leap between buildings, dive around corners and tumble through the air. The ease of movement is liberating, and you’ll have a hard time going back to other shooters after feeling so quick and unencumbered. . Control massive Titans. Though you're more than capable of taking down enemies while running through a map as a Pilot, you can call in your Titan companion to ramp things up a notch. Command it to follow you around and lay down suppressing fire, or jump into the cockpit and blast away the competition from within your Titan's thick metal shell. You can outfit Titans with different armaments, too, making them as customizable as your soldier. . Play with every map. Purchase Titanfall and you'll automatically get the Season Pass, which includes all three map packs: Expedition, Frontier's Edge, and IMC Rising. Each pack adds three new maps to the game, so you can drop a Titan in nine additional arenas.
