This was welcome news. One of the big issues with Titanfall&#8217;s multiplayer was that once the map packs rolled out, the community was split into smaller groups of haves and have-nots each time. It&#8217;s a problem for any multiplayer game that clings to the map pack DLC model unless it&#8217;s Call of Duty and has a core of players willing to loyally buy each installment.<\/p>\n<p>Respawn has announced that the first free post-launch map release will be a remastered version of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.titanfall.com\/en_us\/news\/angel-city\/\">Angel City<\/a>. It was fan-favorite in it&#8217;s original incarnation, so remaking the map for the sequel is an easy win. It&#8217;s coming sometime in December.<\/p>\n<p>Along with that news, we have official confirmation of how Respawn intends to fund post-launch support. It&#8217;s cosmetic DLC!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>These items will be available for purchase, but as always, gameplay is first here at Respawn and they will in no way impact the gameplay.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fashion-forward players can pay for everyone else&#8217;s spot on the servers. It&#8217;s a win-win!
