EA and Respawn have announced the first of two Open Multiplayer Technical Tests will kick off this Friday on Xbox One and PS4, with the second planned for next weekend.

PC users will unfortunately be missing out on the tests, due to Respawn still working on supporting certain hardware configurations for the platform, and also due to a concern over data miners uncovering campaign spoilers.
The tests will feature a number of maps and game modes for participants to try out, as well as the new Pilot tactical abilities: Grapple, Holo Point, and Pulse Blade, and two new Titan classes: Ion and Scorch.
Available this weekend is the following content:
 
MODES

  • Bounty Hunt (5v5): A brand new mode that pits Pilots and their teammates against an opposing team as well as the Remnant Fleet. Earn bonuses by killing grunts and enemies, but make sure to deposit all your points at the bank between waves without getting killed.

  • Pilots vs. Pilots (8v8): Players can be the best Pilot on the Frontier and put their combat and mobility skills to the ultimate test in this classic 8 vs 8 Pilots only mode.
 
MAPS

  • Boomtown: A secret underground IMC facility where the latest in R&D is put to the test. In this facility Pilots can use the many peaked roofs as cover against combatants below. With tight lanes through the middle, Titans can also be easily ambushed.

  • Homestead: The IMC have claimed Imminent Domain on a small commune’s plot of land. With a series of raised, rocky plateaus and a river running down the middle, Pilots are mostly safe from Titans among the rocks and trees but they also can duck into the caves and building when needed. However, the Titans control the large rolling fields.
 
The second weekend includes all the content from the first test, but adds another map and mode:
 
MODE

  • Amped Hardpoint (6v6): A new twist on Hardpoint Domination from the original game; now defending a Hardpoint will let you amp it, giving your team double score. Teamwork is the key to securing victory.
 
MAP
  • Forward Base Kodai: Militia forces have taken over an IMC substation and set up a forward operating base. Pilots can find safety from Titans in the hallways and chambers of the main building, while Titans can walk over the roof to get a better view of the action.
 
Players will also be able to try out a brand new feature called Networks, which is supposed to make finding and playing with friends quicker and easier.
 
Titanfall 2 releases 28 October on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
