Respawn had <a href=\"http:\/\/titanfallblog.com\/2014\/05\/17\/respawn-responds-to-fan-complaints-about-the-recent-change-to-pc-playlists\/\">removed<\/a> the CTF playlist from from the PC version of the multiplayer shooter last week due to low player counts. Since less than 1% of the PC population played Titanfall&#8217;s CTF mode, the game&#8217;s matchmaking service, codenamed Stryder, was having issues finding suitable games and players were experiencing &#8220;overlong&#8221; wait times. Respawn moved CTF into the &#8220;Variety&#8221; playlist which bundled together all the game&#8217;s modes into a random shuffle. Unfortunately, this meant CTF fans would have to accept whatever game mode came up until a CTF round started. After a week of gamer outcry, Respawn has moved CTF back into its own playlist. The <a href=\"http:\/\/titanfallblog.com\/2014\/05\/23\/respawn-provides-an-update-on-titanfalls-matchmaking-system-ctf-returns-to-pc\/\">blog update<\/a> sums up the new matchmaking strategy.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If you&#8217;re searching for 5 minutes without starting a game, Stryder will eventually widen your search to include neighboring continents. This means you might end up in a game with a much higher ping than you&#8217;re used to, but as players pointed out; playing is preferred to not playing at all! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Pilot Hunter mode, which was also removed from its separate playlist last week, remains in Variety mode. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The capture the flag mode is back in the PC version of Titanfall.
