- Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC, and the port for the Xbox 360 is made by another studio.

- At first, the game was created with an eye to the current generation, but the developers realized that the existing consoles did not have enough power to implement all their ideas.

- When the studio began to consider options for porting to a new generation of consoles, they were interested in the proposal from Microsoft.

- Respawn is currently focused on new hardware, but this may change in the future. Studio representatives do not say whether it is about the current project or something else.

- Microsoft cloud services will be used for dedicated servers, as well as physics and artificial intelligence calculations.

- Tentative release date - spring 2014. Today the game looks great.

- Genre: first person shooter. The battles will be fought both in the role of infantry and in the role of a pilot of combat robots, which are called "Titans".

- Battles in Titans are extremely dynamic - they can dodge, speed up, and so on.

- If you don't want to pilot the Titan, he can just follow you, killing everything in its path.

- Human characters are called Pilots - players can run on walls, do several jumps at a time. Pilots are able to counter the Titans by jumping on them and shooting the "brain".

- Pilots should not only be agile, but also cunning. The authors of the game use the term “hit and run”.

- The Pilots have a very impressive arsenal - pistols, assault rifles, as well as an “anti-titanium” grenade launcher.

- There will be computer-controlled bots on the maps. They can be subdued by their will with the help of a “digital knife”.

- The average lifespan on the map is higher than in Call of Duty, Battlefield or Halo. The game is much more beginner friendly thanks to the combination of open cards, real players and bots.

- The project is based on the Source Engine. Writing your own engine would take too long. Source allowed the game to run at 60 frames per second, and was also partially redesigned for compatibility with the new generation.

- The article describes the process of forming a team, an unpleasant situation with Activision, prototyping ideas, and so on. The author with NeoGAF advises to read the whole text.

- The overall style is reminiscent of District 9 and Blade Runner.

- The story is closer in spirit to Left 4 Dead.

- People are settled on the Earth and the planets closest to it. Corporations are trying to seize the resources of the colonies.

- Confirmed Smartglass integration, partial Kinect support, "story multiplayer" and "classic multiplayer", as well as some mode for one player, the details of which have not yet been disclosed. [/ Spoil]
