Titanfall multiplayer has a 6v6 limit

Respawn says player cap is based on playtesting, not hardware or network limitations

Titanfall's online multiplayer will support a maximum of twelve players in teams of six versus six.

Responding to a tweet asking what the online game's human player count would be, Respawn Entertainment co-founder Vince Zampella stated that 6v6 was the maximum, adding that the studio felt this offered the best balance when battling alongside AI characters.

Despite negative responses from some fans following this tweet, Zampella assured players that the 6v6 limitation was a decision made by the development team after substantial playtesting.

"It is incredibly fun, we did a lot of testing," he explained. "It is all about what we found most fun. There are other games with higher player counts if that's your metric."

Stressing that the decision was not based on hardware or network limitations, he added: "We had [the player count] higher at points in testing, this felt best." Zampella went on to clarify: "That's [the] humans only count. There are lots of AI, everyone can have a Titan in follow or guard mode too."

Earlier in the week, a member of Respawn also confirmed on the Titanfall forum that the game would feature multiple controller layouts, including Tactical (which swaps melee and crouch as in Call of Duty) and the Halo-inspired 'Bumper Jumper'.

Publisher EA has confirmed a Titanfall release date of March 11, 2014 in North America and March 13 in Europe. The title will be available on Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.

did u not read the online will be 6vs6 hahaha COD sucks & this game will suck. the problem with the COD players is that they cant HANDLE a REAL WAR. a WAR game should have 70+ players on a MAP, not no 6sv6 or 12vs12 hahahaha so sad. if u unable to run into the same person ALOT then thats a REAL army game, i remeber MAG for PS3 it had 128 vs 128 with no lag and MAN it was awsome, i even loved how i had like 1-1%10% chance of running into the same enemy it was like a real war. i would never waste my time buying a game with 2-12players on a map online


MAG was really over rated. As you would never actually see 50+ people on your screen. A real war game is like ARMA or Red Orchestra. ARMA 2 with ACE and ACRE mods are for the big boys.

TX_F1ERCE_TX Gears of war was a 5 v 5, and that turned out great, other than judgment.


and Halo 1,2,3 were 4v4 and people still loved the series

Some of yall are overreacting, Halo 1,2,and 3 had 4v4 matches and people loved the game so what is the problem?
