Titanfall

You can now sign up to the Titanfall beta, EA have announced. If you go take a look at the official Titanfall website, you'll be lead through a process of getting onto a list for the beta. You can currently sign-up for the Xbox One or PC versions of the game. Both, unsurprisingly, require you to have an Origin account.

Titanfall is still a few months away from launch, but that doesn't mean that development has finished on it. There's a beta incoming, and that'll probably result in a bit of tweaking, and what's the chance of a major shooter coming out without a day-one patch to follow? That's not all the Titanfall staff are working on though. EA, via an earnings call to investors, have revealed that DLC is already being worked on by Respawn.

It's no surprise that users with early access to an upcoming game won't be allowed to share screens, video, opinions or even details about said game ahead of its release, but, yup, Titanfall will be the same. Only made noteworthy by the fact the developers took to Twitter to confirm it, it seems some fans are desperate to share their results.

Titanfall is looking to offer an alternative arcade shooter experience that'll compete nicely with Call of Duty while pushing the genre on a little. Today, some were worried that things hadn't changed enough, with the announcement that the maximum number of combatants in a match will be 12.

Titanfall is looking like it'll be a fun sci-fi arcade shooter and a great boon to Xbox 360 and Xbox One. PC gamers will also be able to pick it up, and, if Call of Duty has been anything to go by, it'll be a pretty nice experience through that as well. One things for certain though: you won't be downloading mods for the game any time soon, probably not at all.
