Titanfall isn't going to release with mod support, but Respawn Entertainment hasn't ruled out the possibility.

Responding to a query on Twitter, Respawn boss Vince Zampella said mod and mapping tools won't be available at launch "for sure".

"Will have to evaluate after launch," he said.

Titanfall is headed to PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and while not impossible it seems unlikely that the console versions would include modding of any kind - leaving only the PC audience to benefit from the substantial effort required to develop and support tools.

That said, Titanfall is being built on a modified version of the Source Engine, which is natively highly supportive of user-generated content.

Titanfall is coming in March; we're still not fully informed on its classes and gameplay, but Respawn did reveal some details on sniping over the holidays, noting that no-scoping and quick-scoping are ineffective.

Thanks, PCGamer.
