StarCraft 2 Twitter account has a pop at Star Wars: Battlefront 2
"Number of pay-to-win mechanics in SC2..."
While EA continues to fight Star Wars: Battlefront 2 fires ahead of launch this Friday, there are others who sniff an opportunity. In this case it's rival mega-publisher Activision Blizzard, whose StarCraft 2 Twitter account had a pop at Battlefront 2 overnight.
Titanfall's card battling spin-off has been cancelled
But another Titanfall mobile game is planned.
Back in September Titanfall developer Respawn announced the card combat spin-off Titanfall: Frontline, but alas, that game has just been cancelled.
"We've learned an incredible amount in the beta test of Titanfall: Frontline, but in the end felt the experience wasn't ready to deliver the intense action-packed gameplay synonymous with Titanfall," developer Particle City state on the game's Facebook page.
That said, the studio founded by Respawn boss Vince Zampella plans to give another crack at making a Titanfall mobile title. "While it's never easy to cancel a game, we're excited to take some of the concepts we saw resonate with players and build off of them in future Titanfall mobile games," the developer said.

Titanfall 2 confirmed for Q4 launch
Mechs, magic and swords. Oh my!
Titanfall is is slated for a Q4 release, publisher EA has confirmed.
This approximate release window was officially revealed in an earnings report, where it noted that Respawn's recently announced sequel will arrive in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, which is actually the fourth quarter of calendar year 2016.
This falls in line with a previously leaked release window teased in a piece of marketing material for McFarlane Toy's Titanfall line-up. But that only said "winter" and that it would be "in conjunction" with the game's release, so it could have meant the game wouldn't follow until early 2017.

We've known for some time that Respawn would be making a Titanfall sequel and that it will feature a single-player campaign, unlike the first game. Lead writer Jesse Stern (NCIS, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare) previously said this follow-up would include "a lot of [scenes] where science meets magic, but keeping it grounded and dirty and human and real".
Titanfall is coming to Origin Access next week

Respawn announces third and final Titanfall map pack
IMC Rising coming this autumn.
Respawn has used EA's 2014 Gamescom briefing to reveal the third and final map pack for Titanfall. Dubbed IMC Rising, it introduces three new maps to the Xbox and PC shooter.
There were few further details revealed on IMC Rising - beyond the fact it's due this autumn - though EA and Respawn used the opportunity to recap on Titanfall's success, and how it's become the best-selling game on Xbox One.
In an attempt to pad out this story to an acceptable length, and in the absence of any further details on IMC Rising right now, here's a recap of the last map pack for Titanfall, the well-received Frontier's Edge.

Amid rumours of Titanfall 2 for PS4, EA and Respawn reflect on a successful launch
"No decisions have been made. That'll be next week!"
The word on the E3 street last week was that developer Respawn Entertainment and publisher EA had already done a deal for a sequel to Titanfall - and that it would release on PlayStation platforms as well as Xbox consoles and PC.
Last month EA boss Andrew Wilson confirmed that EA and Respawn had signed a new publishing agreement and would "bring new Titanfall experiences to players worldwide". While his comment didn't explicitly state a Titanfall 2 was in the works, it was implied.
At E3 I had a chance to chat with both Wilson and Respawn boss Vince Zampella to ask them about the future of the franchise, and while both refused to confirm that Titanfall 2 was already in the works, it sounds like more games in the series will be released.
Titanfall update to add two new modes, Titan features
Hmm, upgrades.
An upcoming Titanfall patch will bring two new modes to the game: Marked for Death and Wingman LTS.
The former sees one player on each team "Marked for Death". Players must protect the targeted player on their side while hunting the target in the enemy faction.
Wingman LTS, meanwhile, is a smaller two-on-two version of Last Titan Standing. It's the game's first mode that isn't designed to be six-on-six.
CTF will return to Titanfall PC following player complaints

Now accessible only in Private Matches or Variety mode.

Now, the only way to access these game modes is through Variety - which picks a mode at random - or setting up a Private Match, which requires 12 friends to organise a session. (Thanks, RockPaperShotgun).

Popular green UK supermarket Asda, and hulking online retailer Amazon, have both dropped the price of the Titanfall Xbox One bundle down to £349.99.
Titanfall update adds private matches
Along with a host of other changes.
By most accounts Titanfall is a great multiplayer first-person shooter, but it launched with one glaring omission: there were no options for private matches. That's finally being fixed in its latest patch.
As of today, Titanfall's private match feature has gone into beta. Now you can set up an up to 12-player game populated entirely by your pals. All game modes are available for private matches and you can decide who gets to be on which team.
The downside: there's no XP or Achievements earned in private matches. In the beta, each round will end with the usual Last Game Summary results screen, but these details won't carry over into your lifetime total.
Footage from the delayed Xbox 360 version of Titanfall has started to appear online, courtesy of those with early copies.

Is, predictably, the UK's number one game.

Respawn's PC and Xbox One shooter is the UK's best-selling game, as expected, and is the biggest release of 2014 so far with more than double the sales of what had been 2014's current leader, FIFA 14, Chart-Track revealed. The Xbox 360 version releases in a couple of weeks.
The eye-catching £399 Xbox One Titanfall bundle, which includes a download token of the game, accounted for over 70 per cent of all Xbox One hardware sold last week.

Xbox One controller must be updated for stereo headset adapter to work
Thumbsticks made more sensitive, too.
The Xbox One controller must be updated as well as the console itself for the stereo headset adapter to work, Microsoft has said.
The Xbox One stereo headset adapter is used to connect chat or stereo headsets, such as the official Xbox One stereo headset, to your controller. But it won't work unless you update the controller, and you can't do this unless you have the latest system update, which contains the newest controller software.
Here's what to do: plus in the stereo headset adaptor into the bottom of your controller, plug in a headset, then plug the big end of the included USB cable into the port on the side of the console. That should make instructions to install the update display on your screen. Follow them. Microsoft said the update can take up to three minutes, so put the kettle on.
Titanfall Season Pass announced, priced at £19.99
Three expansions planned, each containing new maps and other TBA stuff.
In a surprise to absolutely no one, Titanfall will have a Season Pass. Announced today, this pass to Titanfall's upcoming DLC will cost £19.99 / $24.99 and give players access the three upcoming DLC packs. The Season Pass will be $5 (about £3) less than it would be to buy all the DLC separately.
Those purchasing the PC version of Titanfall can bundle the Season Pass with the game in the Titanfall Digital Deluxe Edition, which is currently priced at £59.99 / $79.99 on Origin, where it's exclusively sold.
The Xbox One and Xbox 360 Season Passes will go on sale at retailers along with the console versions when they launch on 13th and 28th March respectively (and 11th March and 25th March for our North American friends).
Major Xbox One update rolled out

The Xbox 360 version is being handled by Bluepoint Games.

Eagle-eyed Reddit users spotted the updated advert on UK TV last night, which includes quick flashes of code hidden within the existing advert.
If you haven't seen the regular version of the advert yet (we don't believe you), it's the one where sad people without Xbox Ones are gestured at by Steven Gerrard, Spock and a Roman soldier to "come on" and buy one.
Titanfall test gameplay footage hits the internet
Textures reduced to 25 per cent resolution, Respawn says.
There is a test of Titanfall going on right now, and so footage has leaked onto the internet.
A raft of videos are currently online showing Respawn's multiplayer shooter in action, but they may not be around for long.
