Titanfall’s first expansion pack is right around the corner, and today Respawn Entertainment revealed the first of three maps coming in the set. This first map is titled ‘War Games’ and will be part of the Expedition Map Pack ($9.99)
The map takes place in a digitally manufactured war environment used to simulate urban combat situations for soldiers and A.I.
When designing this new map, the Respawn artists aimed to design a sleek level with paths that are easy to navigate and utilize Titanfall’s wall-running and pilot movement system, while keeping large open spaces on the edges of the map for Titan combat.
Artists had images of differently themed areas mixed with digital artifacts and colorful lighting. The concept maintained throughout development was “parkour playground”.
War Games OverviewThe center of the map features the new sleek, bright, and colorful textures designed by the artists, whereas the two team sides of the map feature more realistic environments; the Militia spawn in an Angel City themed environment, and the IMC spawn in an airbase-style structure.
Below you can notice the contrast between the digital smooth environment and the standard urban design of Titanfall:
The outer edges of the map aim to create long firing ranges for Titans, specifically in game modes such as Last Titan Standing. The contrast between the inner wall-running areas and the outer paths for Titans seem to make this map a great addition to the Titanfall map pool.
The new Titanfall DLC, Expedition, releases in May 2014, and will include War Games as one of its three new maps. Head over to the
