Titanfall

Titanfall is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game, developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. It runs on a heavily modified version of the Source Engine based off Portal 2 engine branch[1], with a custom version of BSP, a custom version of the VPK package format, and an improved rendering engine. The sequels and spinoffs, Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends, both use this same engine.

Respawn chose to use the Source engine for Titanfall and subsequent games as the co-founders and former Infinity Ward staff (who joined Respawn) are previously familiar with the heavily modified Quake 3 Engine (also known as id Tech 3) used in Call of Duty series (called IW engine), and because of Source's ability to maintaining constant 60FPS on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Titanfall restricts typical Source engine features such as the developer console and server browser, but these can be re-enabled with offline mods.

As of 2021, Titanfall is no longer available and has been delisted from Steam as the game servers has suffered from DDoS attack and the game was left unpatched with many known security vulnerabilities. The game later received review bombing on Steam shortly before and after it got delisted.
