No Shooting Through Walls in Titanfall

Respawn Entertainment confirms on the game forums that you won't be able to shoot through walls when controlling the Titans.

"No shooting through walls for this title," a Respawn developer going by the name "scriptacus" said. "It'd take a fair bit of design work to do otherwise, especially with the power of the Titan weapons. From a realistic standpoint you would expect them to be the most effective at penetrating walls, but that would just make life suck for Pilots."

Interestingly enough future installments in the series might offer shooting through walls.

"Another title having a feature is not the bar by which we justify features," the Respawn developer said. "While I'm acutely aware of the benefits of bullet penetration in the tactical shooter genre, with the way this game plays I'm not sure what sort of design space it would really open up. It's certainly not a feature I find myself missing and I don't even think it qualifies as 'something we would definitely have done if we had the time.' No doubt we'll evaluate it further depending on our next project, but it's definitely not a no brainer."

Titanfall will launch on March 11 for Xbox One and PC, with the Xbox 360 version releasing on March 25.
