Titanfall Beta Will Have Anti-Cheat System

There has been a lot of new info about Respawn Entertainment’s new first person shooter Titanfall over the last few weeks. We’ve gotten confirmation on minimum system requirements, the origin necessity, and even a beta which will take place later this month.

So what’s next?

In a tweet by Respawn’s community manager Abbie Heppe, the dev team will have a new anti-cheat system in place for the beta. She says,

@projekt21 we do have anti-cheat but not specifying what we’re using

Additionally, Titanfall’s producer Drew McCoy says that the team will be using a brand new build of the game for the beta:

@bmuny101 @VinceZampella @jonshiring no, the beta is a whole new build.

While it is not surprising that the studio would use a current build of the game and new anti-cheat software during a beta test, it is good to see that the team is taking action to prevent cheaters from causing unwanted strife in what appears as one of the biggest next-gen releases of 2014.

Titanfall releases on the Xbox One and PC on March 11^th for the U.S. and March 13^th for Europe. It will also release on the Xbox 360 on March 25^th.
