titanfall update burn cards black market packs

As Titanfall‘s action heats up on the Frontier, developer Respawn Entertainment is offering you more channels to get exactly what you need, when you need it with the new Black Market for Titan Insignias and Burn Card packs. To fund your shady dealings, Respawn has introduced a new in-game currency that you collect through play. Don’t worry: there won’t be any microtransactions. The only way to earn credits is by playing regularly.

The Black Market will introduce a set of Titan Insignias that represent the elite units of both the IMC and Militia. Once bought at the Black Market they will be listed with your other Insignias at the Titan Custom Loadout menu.

Burn Card packs provide a random selection of cards divided into various themes such as Intel, Tactical Ability, Weapons, or Standard, which can contain any card in the game. The goal of the packs is to give you a little more control over the types of cards you collect and ensure that you always have cards that you want to use. You can sell off any cards that you don’t anticipate needing.

Sell for what, you ask? Why, that dependable sci-fi standard, the currency of choice from the gritty streets of New Angeles to the Zocalo of Babylon 5: credits. Credits are the lubrication that keeps the Black Market machine whirring along. You earn credits from:

Match Victory
Match Completion
First Victory of the Day
Daily Challenges
Selling Burn Cards
A Percentage of your Match XP after Level 50

Quelling inevitable anxieties, the developer has promised that introducing an in-game currency will not lead to dreaded microtransactions. The only way to earn credits is through playing the game, and not by spending real money. Instead the system is designed to reward the most devoted pilots for playing every day.

The Black Market unlocks once you reach level 11, so if you’re starting from scratch you will have built up a healthy credit pool by then to start sampling the Market’s wares. In the future the Market will offer other types of items for purchase, but there are not yet any details on what those might be.

I don’t need Starfield because I have The Outer Worlds

The spacer looks out over a vast horizon in The Outer Worlds 2 key art.

Starfield will be one of the biggest games of 2023, but I'm not that excited to play it yet.
While Starfield's spotlight at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase this year highlighted some impressive features, I couldn't shake the feeling that I'd already gotten everything I'd want from a traditional sci-fi RPG like this from another game: The Outer Worlds from Obsidian Entertainment. Ironically developed by another Microsoft-owned studio, The Outer Worlds showed that bloating up a sci-fi game with thousands of planets isn't necessary when a "less is more" mentality can still result in an expertly designed sci-fi RPG.
Although The Outer Worlds might not be as nearly as grand as Starfield in scope, it still leaves an impression every time I revisit it. It's a focused, replayable, and hilarious adventure without much bloat, which is what I want from my RPGs. It does this while emulating Bethesda's classic The Elder Scrolls and Fallout games too, beating Starfield to the punch.
Starfield could impress me when it launches, but what I've seen of it hasn't got me that eager to play it when I'm so content with replaying The Outer Worlds while avidly waiting for its sequel.
Starfield: Official Gameplay Reveal
Fewer worlds, more fun
From the moment your escape pod accidentally lands on a bounty hunter that's supposed to help you, it's clear that The Outer Worlds is a tongue-in-cheek, satirical take on capitalism, colonization, and the sci-fi genre as a whole. While Bethesda Game Studios' narratives have their fair share of humor, much of its writing tends to be more serious and dryly written. We haven't seen enough of Starfield's dialogue or narrative to get a sense of its thematic identity yet.
Starfield's narrative could be more playful than we've seen so far, but the game's massive scope is what really worries me. During the Microsoft showcase, Todd Howard boasted that there are over 1,000 planets to explore. Because Starfield is so huge, I worry that it risks feeling unfocused. Will I get bored on planets that aren't very handcrafted and don't have as much to do? It's the same potential issue that infamously plagued No Man's Sky at launch.
Meanwhile, The Outer Worlds and its upcoming sequel are intentionally designed to avoid those bloat issues, according to former Obsidian Entertainment Narrative Designer Nitai Poddar in a 2019 Game Informer interview. "There is a lot of value in having an open-ended game that is still structured around individual discreet levels," he said. "It also tends to be easier to develop, and I'm always a fan of making the most of a budget that you have."

The Outer Worlds' developers didn't have a huge budget, and kept the game small but very tightly designed as a result. You might not be able to explore entire planets or fly between them, but you'll definitely remember what you did on every single one you visited. This smaller scope allowed the studio to make the world more reactive to each dialogue choice and player decision.
Playing a combat-focused build in The Outer Worlds gives you an entirely different experience than a dialogue-driven playthrough. You can also murder or scorn everyone you meet in The Outer Worlds, and the game accounts for it in tangible, narrative ways. This makes The Outer Worlds a great sci-fi roleplaying experience, and I'm hopeful its sequel will be too. I'm not as hungry for a sci-fi RPG on such a potentially problematic large scale anymore when The Outer Worlds and its handcrafted worlds and narratives are so enjoyable moment-to-moment, just like classic Bethesda games.
Where both games will boldly go
As far as sci-fi experiences go, Starfield can stand out from The Outer Worlds with its combat, base-building and shipbuilding, and space combat. But when it comes to the core tenets of Bethesda's best RPGs -- compelling characters, well-written narratives, and lots of reactive and choice-driven moments -- The Outer Worlds beat Starfield to the punch without any additional fat. I already have the Bethesda-like sci-fi experience I always wanted.

Everything you need to know about the new PlayStation Plus

After months of rumors, Sony has released a blog post finally confirming what everyone suspected was true: PlayStation Now is going away, and a new tiered structure is coming to PlayStation Plus.

The new strategy breaks up the former subscription plan into three different tiers with their own offerings and pricing that are incorporated into the Plus branding. Starting in June, PlayStation users will have three options for their subscription models to choose from: Essential, Extra, and the top tier called Premium. That structure was teased in various rumors, but Sony has now officially confirmed all those details and more.

Unionization at Activision: Everything you need to know

Operator using the OTs SMG in Warzone.

Over the course of the last month or so, Quality Assurance (QA) staffers at Raven Software, a subsidiary of Activision, have begun fighting for their right to unionize. The move isn't the first of its kind in the gaming industry, but something like it has never been attempted by employees at such a large company. This movement started when a large group of QA contractors at Raven Software was suddenly laid off, but much more has transpired since then, including a multiweek strike, an industry-shaking acquisition, and the semiofficial formation of a union.

This is an evolving story, one that will play out over weeks and months. Here's everything that has happened as workers at Raven Software move to unionize.
Raven QA employees laid off
On December 3, 2021, Activision Blizzard laid off at least a dozen of its QA contractors. The move came suddenly for members of the team, some of whom had even moved to Wisconsin for their jobs. Overall, the layoffs left Raven Software's QA department with a third of its employees gone.
