For many years, the citizens of the Frontier have been displaced by the IMC's pursuit of natural resources, intended to serve Earth and its surrounding Core Systems. Now, no longer willing to tolerate the IMC’s presence, the denizens of the Frontier have put aside their own differences to fight back, forming an army called the Militia.
As the fighting escalates, Titan Pilots such as yourself are drawn into both sides of the conflict, from far and wide. Specially trained and battle-hardened, you move faster and are far deadlier than the average conscript—to you, they are little more than cannon fodder.
It is Pilots like you who will determine the fate of the Frontier. Moving from one planet to the next, you will deploy in strike forces, summoning your Titans at short notice onto the field of battle, from near-orbit, with pinpoint accuracy. The time for diplomacy has passed.
Prepare for Titanfall.
After purchasing the digital version or inserting the retail disc version of Titanfall, the game will automatically install and subsequently appear on the Home screen in the My Games & Apps section. Move to highlight the Titanfall tile, and then press to run it.

Burn Cards are favors which work as single-use bonuses in matches you play. Burn Cards range from common to extremely rare and can help you in various ways for one life during a match. Once you play a Burn Card, it is gone forever, so make sure you use them strategically. As you continue to play, you will be rewarded with more Burn Cards. Between rounds and after you die you will have an opportunity to activate a Burn Card of your choice. You have access to three Burn Cards per match. You must pre-assign your Burn Cards in the Burn Card menu.
You have two preset loadouts to choose from as you start the game, both for Pilots and Titans. As you play, eventually you will gain the ability to customize your loadout configurations with different weapons, etc.
