Titanfall
Titanfall is a 2014 multiplayer first person shooter video game developed by resawn 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 highly anticipated as the debut title from developers formerly behind the successful 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 soliders. Up to 50 characters can be active in a single game.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.Titanfall is a shooter game played from a first person perspective.Players fight as free-running foot soldier "pilots" who can command agile, mech-style exoskeletons—"Titans"—to complete team-based objectives. The game is set on derelict and war-torn colonies at the Frontier fringe of space exploration as either the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC) or the Militia.Up to twelve human players choose their pilot types and are dropped on the map, beginning the game. Titans can be deployed periodically, based on an onscreen timer. Killing other players reduces the timer. When summoned, players are told to "prepare for Titanfall", whereupon a Titan drops from the sky, surrounded by a protective forcefield.Unlike player-characters in games like call of duty and Battlefield, pilots are agile and accumulate momentum while running Players run on walls, double jump (with a jet pack), vault over obstacles, glide across ziplines, and chain together combos.Pilot and Titan controls are identical except where the pilot's double jump becomes the Titan's dash, as Titans cannot jump. The Titans, somewhere between battle tanks and the robot mecha of Gundam and Macross, are not slow, but their movement is slower than the nimble pilots.The pilot's tactical abilities include x-ray vision, invisibility cloaking, and regenerating speed boosts.There are three unique Titan classes, variants of light, medium, and heavy, with inversely related speed and armor: the all-around Atlas, the ponderous Ogre, and the lithe Stryder.
