Titanfall Companion App Now Available

If you’re an owner of a mobile device running Windows Phone 8, Android, or iOS and you’re a big Titanfall fan then you’ll be interested to know that Respawn Entertainment and Microsoft have worked to publish a new companion app for the game.  The app allows you to see a lot of detailed information about your class and titan setups as well as real-time map information.  It may not be the most ideal way to view a map since you have to take your eyes off the screen, but if you have a tablet that can be posted up in your view then you can see the entire map of the level you’re currently playing on.  It has some benefits over the proximity-based mini map that you see while in-game, but this seems to be more of a cool extra than a real must-have experience.

PC fans will probably benefit more if they’re running Windows 8 since you can run this app while playing the game.  In this instance, the companion apps map view is potentially rewarding since dual monitor setups could see the app running on one screen right next to your main game window.  It could help you out if you’re looking to find pilots across the map while in a titan so you can sprint to an area and find the pilot that was giving themselves away while using unsuppressed fire.  You might as well give it a glance if you’re playing Titanfall and have one of these supported platforms because it’s a free app.  Just be sure you’re connected to WiFi because this app is huge.  We’re talking in the 670-710MB range depending on which platform you download it on.
