Titanfall’s taken over the internet of late. As it should, Rob gave it a 9/10 in his TItanfall review (even if Tim did call the campaign a “misery inducing failure”). And with all those players rushing in to play the game bugs and imbalances have been spotted all over the shop, something Respawn are addressing with this patch.
A lot of the balances are changing the point rewards and barriers in multiplayer modes. So, for instance, you receive fewer points for returning flags and killing the flag carrier. The smart pistol’s been made less effective, too, it’s less accurate and less powerful when fired from the hip, encouraging players to only fire when they’ve got a target lock.
You can read through all the changes in more detail below:
