This is the reason why the Titanfall beta is crucial to launching the full game in March, especially with EA coming off problematic online launches with Battlefield 4 and SimCity - and promising Titanfall won’t suffer from the same issues. The PC beta is now also open for all players (as of last night) who registered and thanks to the beta release, tech savvy gamers have accessed the client’s files to seemingly unveil the game’s contents, when it comes to maps and weapons.

According to RazorUK on NeoGAF and RazorUK on Reddit, they might have uncovered the complete Titanfall map list (and much more) by using a hex editor on one of the game’s data files, these are the names you can expect to battle on in the full game release  - the first two are available for play in the beta and the others you can see the map thumbnails below, verifying their authenticity (15 in total):

As the images depict, there are varied aesthetics and level designs across all of the maps. If all 15 are the maps available at launch, that’s a good number for an average triple-A shooter. By comparison, Battlefield 4 launched with 10 maps, although those were significantly larger. As for the game modes that can be played in these locations, we know that for the multiplayer campaign of the game (there is no true single player in Titanfall) each map will have its own scenario/objectives. These might be the six core multiplayer modes Titanfall ships with (plus a playlist):

AT - Attrition? TDM - Team Deathmatch? CTF - Capture the Flag? LTS - Last Titan Standing? HP- Hardpoint Capture? VM - Variety Mode (a mix of all the other modes listed, sans campaign) Campaign Multiplayer

We’re assuming variety is a randomized playlist. And we knew about Campaign Multiplayer already. Since the beta features Attrition, Hardpoint and Last Titan Standing, only the Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag modes - staples of the FPS genre - remain unseen. Perhaps they offer a twist on these traditional modes with the Titans? Next up, thanks to no1dead on Reddit we have the Pilot/Titan weapons along with their secondary abilities (Ordinances, Tactical Abilities, Perks):

The leaked info seems legit and there’s also info which suggests that the game’s campaign - possibly all of the modes - will feature splitscreen play, a feature that’s been mostly dropped from the industry in recent years. The real question now is whether or not all this content will be available at launch or if it’s Day One/Delayed DLC which would be sure to raise a little uproar from the community. The bigger picture questions however are whether or not Titanfall can launch without a hitch on all of its platforms on March 11 (and the 25th for Xbox 360).
