Steam’s best FPS just got quietly fixed, and it’s 90% off right now

pcgamesn.com:

Titanfall 2 is back. Respawn Entertainment’s beloved shooter, precursor to the massive Apex Legends and still arguably the best of the best FPS games on PC, Titanfall 2 multiplayer is once again playable after quiet fixes behind the scenes. On top of that, it’s also available dirt cheap with a massive Steam sale discount, meaning that if you still haven’t experienced its breathtaking campaign or its high-octane, best-in-class multiplayer now’s a great time to jump in.

Reddit user ‘GeckoEidechse,’ a member of the modding community that’s been keeping Titanfall 2 busy over recent years, reports that Titanfall 2’s multiplayer matchmaking, which has been broken for quite some time, is now fixed. They note that this is a fix that has come from Respawn directly, not the work of modders, meaning you’ll no longer be disconnected while trying to search for a match.

On top of this, further fixes have been made in recent weeks. This includes updates to the in-game featured playlist, changes to the weapon rotation in the Colosseum mode, and numerous fixes to popular out-of-bounds exploit spots. Notably, these fixes have in many cases been accompanied by the cheeky placement of a cup, hammer, and Nessie plush – the latter being the adorable Apex Legends mascot.

“To be clear, this fix comes from within Respawn (or whoever is working on Titanfall 2 servers),” GeckoEidechse explains. Other players give their praise to ‘The Janitor,’ a long-time community joke about a mysterious figure at Respawn Entertainment who has taken it upon themselves to quietly maintain its seven-year-old shooter.

Those of you tempted to play following this news are in luck. Titanfall 2 is 90% off on Steam until Monday September 18, 2023. That means you can
