Following this week’s moderate backlash over Titanfall’s matches being capped at six versus six, Respawn lead designer Justin Hendry has insisted the 12-player limit is what’s best for Titanfall, saying, “[t]he game is essentially built to be six on six.”
The matches, however, won’t be just limited to 12 total human players; each team will be able to support up to 12 AI-controlled combatants and each human player will be able to have their personal Titan trailing them under AI control in ‘Follow’ or ‘Guard’ mode. At its peak, Titanfall can cater for up to 48 individual characters.

While i had no real issue with the original number announced since I have faith in Respawn and figured they made it optimal for the best experience, this is still nice to know and should calm the naysayers for now.
