Update 6 introduces “Pilot Skirmish”, an 8v8 mode with NO AI and NO Titans

Respawn has just announced all the changes in store coming with Update 6 for Titanfall. Thee newest update plans to introduce one of the biggest changes yet, a new 8 versus 8 Pilot only mode with NO Titans and NO A.I. Grunts! No release date has been announced but we can all expect the update real soon. Check out the full description below!

NEW FEATURES (All Platforms)

 

Pilot Skirmish is the New Featured Game Mode – Pilot Skirmish is an 8v8 mode with no AI and no Titans. Due to the difference in player sizes with the rest of the game modes, Pilot Skirmish will not be among the game modes played when choosing Variety Pack playlist.

 

Marked For Death is Now its own Permanent Game Mode! – When we first introduced Marked For Death, we were planning to rotate it out for another mode after a couple of weeks, but the enduring popularity of the mode convinced us to bring it on full-time. There will now be a Marked For Death playlist to choose from, along with custom Marked For Death loadouts to unlock.

 

Added Modes for Colorblind Titan Pilots – Three colorblind options (protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia) have been added. They affect IFF glows, crosshair colors, and names above heads.

 

Pssst…wanna buy a burn card? – Black Market Daily Deals now include the ability to buy individual Burn Cards from a limited, ever shifting stock. These items are in short supply, so prices may vary.

 

Gambling is for Winners – Roll the Dice is a new ultra-rare Burn Card that gives you the ability to tap into your entire deck from inside a match. It’s the Fabergé Egg of burn cards if you will.

 

Burn Card Auto Fill – Toggle the new Burn Card Auto Fill option in the Burn Card Menu and it will automatically fill empty Burn Card slots for you. Never fight empty-handed again.

 

Late to the Game – Joining late is no longer penalized. If you join a match that is more than half way over and your team is not winning, a loss will not be counted on your record. If the match is a win for your team, we’ll count it as one. We’ve also added a warning message noting you will receive a loss on your record by leaving a match in progress.

 

IMPROVEMENTS AND OPTIMIZATIONS

 

FX Optimizations – Optimizing effects processing and moving more effects rendering work onto additional CPU cores is a good thing. So we did that.

 

Matchmaking – Faster searching, improved team balancing, increasing the likelihood of being in full games, and drastically lowering the chance of having lopsided (e.g. 6v3) matches.
