Xbox One’s 'Titanfall' Beta Already Near, Pre-order Bonuses Revealed; Updates Not a Worry for Players
While there are already Xbox One players who have been enjoying the closed alpha test for "Titanfall," a public beta is already coming for those who want to enjoy the game before the March release date.
Respawn Entertainment has already confirmed the beta sign ups, which is both for the Xbox One and PC. Moreover, Neoseeker reports that a pre-order is not necessary to get into the beta.
"#supersecret announcement time. I'm sure no one has been able to guess from the leaks. PC and XboxOne Beta! Details in the coming days," announced Vince Zampella, Respawn Entertainment founder in his Twitter.
With regard to the possibility that a failure at launch will happen---good examples of these being "Battlefield 4" and "SimCity"---given that this is an online multiplayer game, Mr Zampella does admit that he is still a bit apprehensive about what can happen at launch, but still hopeful that it will be a pretty good launch.

"Yes, but mixed with a bit of fear. We want the launch to be as smooth as possible. Beta should help," said Mr Zampella in his Twitter, quoted by DualShockers.
And it seems that Respawn is trying hard to make sure that gamers know what they're getting into, with the more recent announcement that only three titans will be present in "Titanfall." The report adds that these titans are Ogre, Atlas and Stryder titans.
Side Updates Not a Worry for 'Titanfall' Players
Previously, it has already been reported that "Titanfall" may not have its own Australian-based servers when the game launches on March this year. However, a new report from Respawn Entertainment has assured gamers regarding the site updates that may come once the game is already available for gamers.
Cited by AusGamers, the post on the "Titanfall"| forums was from programmer Jon Shiring, it seems that moving gamers from one build to another will not be a problem when it comes to the gameplay. The only difference is the disappearance of the bugs in the game as the players were enjoying gametime.

"We will definitely be rolling out new server builds to fix issues that we find. Not every issue can be patched entirely on the server, and so some fixes will require a client patch. But new server builds are definitely something we will be doing," said Mr Shiring in the post, as quoted by AusGamers.
Apparently, this is the kind of result that the alpha test "Titanfall" has recently undergone for the Xbox One. Apparently, this will be the method by which patches will be rolled out once the game is already out.
