Crafted by one of the co-creators of Call of Duty and other key developers behind the Call of Duty franchise, Titanfall is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game. In Titanfall, players control "pilots" and their mech-style Titans, and fight in six-on-six matches set in war-torn outer space colonies. The game is optimized for fast-paced, continual action, aided by wall-running abilities and populations of computer-controlled soldiers. Up to 50 characters can be active in a single game, and non-player activity is offloaded to Microsoft's cloud computing services to optimize local graphical performance.
Unlike player-characters in games like Call of Duty and Battlefield , pilots are agile and accumulate momentum while running (similar to Tribes ). Players run on walls, double jump with a jet pack, vault over obstacles, glide across ziplines, and chain together combos.
