Players started aiming their big guns not at other combatants but on the disrupted service they experienced on Friday as the servers of Electronic Arts went down causing many of them to become annoyed and began berating the service through Twitter. On the other hand, EA immediately posted their course of action trying to do some damage control through the mircoblogging site, as well. Among the games that were badly affected was Titanfall.
So far, Titanfall's developer, Respawn Entertainment, has no further developments prepared for the online multiplayer game. What it does have in store for the game was a few bug fixes and connectivity updates for PC and Xbox One as the company shifts its focus on other projects besides Titanfall. Not to mention that Respawn's family grew with one new member now in the fold focusing on a non-Titanfall project.
However, Respawn Entertainment co-founder Vince Zampella clarified that the 9th update did not spell the end for Titanfall; he explained that the company was just merely looking at other possible projects.
In fact, Xbox One released a new Titanfall bundle on Friday. However, the bundle would not include add-on maps available with the deluxe edition of the game. This would not be the first time Xbox came with a bundle featuring Titanfall.
Add to that, the game has no solid story line. Rather, it was designed as a gun-totting free for all where the players have the mobility to move across the game environment, through the use of jet packs, with one goal in mind - to annihilate the competition. With what happened to the EA servers on Friday that badly affected multiplayer games, it would be difficult to look into what kind of future holds for Titanfall.
However, Titanfall would continue to remain positively popular among avid fans of multiplayer gun-totting action akin to old-time PC favorites.
