First ‘Titanfall 2’ DLC arrives November 30 with a dose of nostalgia

Titanfall 2 is about to get even better with the launch of “Angel City’s Most Wanted,” a content update that brings a new map, weapon, and Titan kits, and it’s available absolutely free to everyone who owns the game.

On November 30, “Angel City’s Most Wanted” will introduce the return of one of the original Titanfall‘s most popular maps, “Angel City.” The map made use of wall-running and corridors to create tense firefights that frequently saw Titans cut off from their team and forced to fight multiple Titans, and with the changes to the shielding system in Titanfall 2, things should be even more challenging. The map will be available first for those who pre-ordered before releasing to everyone on December 3.

The update also adds the “Wingman Elite Pistol,” as well as new Titan kits to help you get the most out of your favorite mech. Ion’s “Refraction Lens” allows the Splitter Rifle to split in five directions, making it a much more effective tool for cleaning up infantry, while Scorch’s “Scorched Earth” kit ignites the ground to make the kit an even better crowd control choice. Tone even gets a new “Burst Loader” kit, allowing it to deal serious damage from afar.

On November 30, Titanfall 2 will also open an in-game store, but Respawn stresses that this will be only used for cosmetic items. New skins for weapons and Titans, new camouflage, and “Prime Titans” that function identically to their standard siblings will all be for sale.

One addition, though it may seem small in the scheme of things, has us very excited: a statistics screen. Titanfall 2 launched with no option to see how you performed aside from individual match reports, and the addition of detailed statistics should help to increase the competitive scene and keep people playing the game well into 2017. “Game mode twists” will also be released in a “semi-regular” manner to keep things fresh.

Titanfall 2 is out now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. It’s really, really good.

Waiting for a massive Game Pass download to finish could soon become a little less painful. Microsoft has begun testing a new Smart Download Client as part of the latest Xbox Insider Alpha Skip-Ahead update. The feature is designed to speed up game installs and updates by automatically connecting users to the fastest available content server. While it's currently limited to Xbox Insider testers, early reports suggest the improvements are also making their way to the Xbox PC app, potentially solving one of the platform's longest-standing frustrations.

A metallic Hall effect keyboard and a 59g mouse are Lenovo’s latest upgrades for snazzy gaming setups
The Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Y7MG mouse bring 8K polling to both sides of your gaming setup
Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

Magnetic gaming keyboards and lightweight mice are hardly unusual anymore, but Lenovo is trying to push both ideas a little further with its latest Legion peripherals. The new lineup includes the Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Legion Y7MG mouse, and both support an 8,000Hz polling rate for players who want every input delivered to their PC as quickly as possible.

Of course, Lenovo has styled these peripherals to be as bold and eye-catching as possible without getting in the way of practicality. The keyboard has a hefty metallic design with translucent keycaps and RGB lighting. Compared to that, the mouse is more tame and traditional in design, but it also has an RGB strip that appears to belong on an alien spaceship. (via NotebookCheck)
