A week ago, Respawn Entertainment announced that the studio's first-person shooter, Titanfall 2, would soon be receiving a free pack of new downloadable content (DLC). While this is hardly news in and of itself (Respawn's dedication to providing free content is already well-known), the game mode coming in Operation Frontier Shield took the game in an surprisingly new direction.

By that, we're of course referring to Frontier Defense, a cooperative four-player mode that allowed players to fend off waves off AI-controlled enemies in an objective-based defense map. You can check out the gameplay trailer released during the announcement for a quick look at how the new mode functions.
The official patch notes for this update make mention of a variety of small improvements to Titanfall 2, including a number of balance tweaks to Titans and pilots, some minor changes to a handful of weapons, and several minor bug fixes.
Operation Frontier Shield also rolled out two new maps for Titanfall 2: Rise, which will be available as a map for both the new and regular game modes, and Township - a "module construction of a residential firefight" with sparse cover available on the Live Fire mode.
