Titanfall 2's War Games update adds new maps

It's out now

Titanfall 2’s [official site] pilots need to be light on their feet, what with all the parkour, so it makes sense that they wouldn’t want to lug around lots of heavy weapons. But surely in the distant future humanity will discover a way to solve this problem? And it looks like they have, as the War Games update, along with introducing new maps and bunch of improvements, finally allows pilots to carry three weapons at once. The future truly is an incredible place.

All these better-armed pilots can muck around with their extra guns in the new 'War Games' map, set in a VR training sim.

Pilots on the Frontier frequently use simulator pods to train, using life-like recreations of historical battles as combat scenarios. War Games highlights the civilian shops, tall buildings for window-to-window fighting, and city streets for Titan combat from the Battle of Angel City, and the large, open tank garage facilities for hand-to-hand Pilot combat from the Battle of Airbase Sierra. The outskirts of the map feature a clean, VR style perfect for Titan duels, while Pilots are often found running along the bright, interconnected wallrunning routes.

A second map has been put together for the Live Fire mode, too. 'Traffic' is a test site where pilots duke it out across two busy thoroughfares filled with dense cover.

Below you’ll find the list of new features, and you can take a gander at the full patch notes here.
