Titanfall 2’s frantic 6v6 pilots mode Live Fire launches tomorrow

Titanfall 2 is getting a new six-versus-six pilots only mode in a free update on February 24, Australian time.

Live Fire is a super quick six-versus-six version of the Pilots versus Pilots mode — it’s essentially a short, timed-based team deathmatch, without any titans or respawning.

It’s a round-based mode, so once you die, there are no respawns until the next round. You have one minute to eliminate as many players on the other team as possible to win the round. You can also win if your team is in possession of the neutral flag when the round ends — it’s basically the Golden Snitch of Titanfall 2.

The update is also tweaking a bunch of things, detailed below by Titanfall 2’s community manager on the PlayStation Blog.

  • Mixtape Matchmaking: You’ll notice a complete overhaul of the matchmaking menu. Thanks to hard work from the team and feedback from the community, this new feature will allow you to create your own “mixtape” of modes.
  • Featured Playlist: Here we will be swapping out new modes each week that we think you should play, and for some of them we’ll reward you with Double XP events for checking them out.
  • Live Fire Maps: There will be two maps, Stacks and Meadows, that will support Live Fire mode only. Live Fire will be a limited time mode that will show up on Featured Playlists. We’ll be rotating this with other modes that we want to feature.
  • New Patch: There will be a large patch included with this update that will bring a plethora of game changes and fixes among many other things. We will provide patch notes online at release as well as in the Multiplayer menu FAQ.
  • New Execution: Inspired by the Stim, Last Hit packs a punch and you’ll see it show up with the rest of the executions in the Pilot customization options.
  • New Coliseum Map: Go mano e mano in a brand-new map called Columns that adds a twist to the existing formula.
  • New Factions Intros: We’ve added some new dialogue for faction leaders, so enjoy the new pep talk as you drop into that next match.
