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.

Spot I just pre order this, now i need to go back and cancel it


I don't know why you would want to go ahead and do that just because of a player limit..


People are just overreacting. They think it's going to be like CoD since CoD has 6v6 matchmaking, but that is one of the only similarities the two games have.

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


This isn't a Halo Game... Halo and Titanfall are two completely different games. Titanfall can be a great game but if it feels like a COD game then it will not last long.


Quite the opposite, people love cod, therefore if it's like cod it will last long.

This game looks pretty good and like it has a lot of potential. Hopefully this game won't be a let down!

I don't think you have to go that far. It can still be a fun game to play even if there aren't 64 players on a map

DanielBryan Kind've disappointing for a next generation console.


Well as long as the game is fast paced and there is a good amount of AI there shouldn't really be many problems
