should i be getting a lock on with tone before i do the salvo core? i cant tell if it matters or not

I'm not 100%, but I think it helps. If you even have a partial lock, you should be able to hit people with the salvo even if you don't have direct line of sight if you send it up first so it comes from above, whereas this won't work if you have no lock.

Why is Crash Site so bad? It's the one with the train track going through it right?

It's the one in the canyons.

Also, why the gently caress are the maps so big? Does any mode utilize it? I feel like on every map, nearly half of it never gets seen because no one goes that far out because all of the players and AI only cluster in specific areas.

I swear I recall reading that Respawn specifically lowered player speed and changed map designs to railroad people into "lanes" like CoD because people couldn't find other players to fight- and I have had the EXACT same experience in Titanfall 2 where I almost can't find other pilots.

I've done some multiplayer and determined that A) I hate CtF still and B) I have no idea how scoring actually works in bounty mode. It looks like I get money for killing the targets, and I have a bonus I can dump into the bank if I don't die a bunch and lose it all? But I don't understanding what is worth what...do I get points for killing human enemies / their titans as well?

In simple terms:

Killing AI gets you money. Killing players steals half their money. When the bank opens (for a limited time), you deposit your money which then gets added to the team's total. The winning team is the first to $5000 or whichever has the most money when time runs out.

A little clarifying

- Killing NPCs gets you (say) $10 added to your team's score immediately, but also gives you the same amount again as bonus cash
- Half of your bonus cash is lost when you die, and killing pilots has you steal 10% of their pre-death total (so yes cash disappears into the aether when pilots die)
- Bonus cash is converted to team score 1:1 when banks open and you make a deposit (which makes pilot turrets at the banks very very funny)

Clarification on the clarification - Killing pilots lets you steal half of their bonus. Half of your bonus goes to the pilot that killed you when you die. The "10%" you are seeing on the hud near the stolen bonus, is the 10% build time on your titan you recieve for killing a pilot.

Ugh, it's really the worst. You have to press the Home button, then Page Up and Page Down (the gently caress?) to select the person, then you have to press another button that I forgot and it'll open their Origin profile. You can report them from there.

It's the worst system.

Some people said in-game that it was End, but the game was just clicking at me. I'm going to try the report cheating option direct from Origin, I guess?

It is inevitable!
The way large maps work is that in attrition, the Ai kind of clusters in a particular area, and players should be drawn to that area. The area will move around the map and the spawns appear drawn to it too. You need to follow the various gunfire markers to find the action. I think the game should be clearer though. 'Were pushing for sector a' and you get a big marker for it.

I think the other thing is that once you've got some time under your belt you will transfer around the maps in seconds with your speed powers and they don't really feel big anymore.

"You're the best looking guy here."
I've been scoring really low in matches (attrition, like 15 points) partly because I'm incredibly far from the closest data center (yes I'm waving bullet lag around) but also because I'm still having learning everything.

So color me surprised when I managed about 6 no scope kills with a kraber on crash site today. It sounds cool, but anyone seeing it knows I was just Frantically waning the gun around and shooting it. Still, I'll take it.

I'm really liking the double take. Its a scout rifle style sniper rifle where the kraber and dmr are more standard sniper rifles, and so its more apt to the "Floor is Lava" playstyle.

The G2 or DMR? I assume you're talking about the G2 which is OK if you're good with semi-autos in CoD type games but I think the Hemlok is way better since that kills in one burst

I think the Devotion LMG might be the most underrated gun in the game right now, it has completely replaced the Alternator as my primary weapon. I combine it with sonar spikes and map hack and pre-fire away. Thing is a beast.

My Devotion is G2.19 while my next highest level primary is 16. I hope there's a gun in the DLC that does the reverse like the HAMR in that one CoD that I played during a free weekend that I can't remember the name of

Unless you have perfect tracking, it's going to be much harder to land a whole burst on one pilot at near range (because you need at least one headshot at far range, and two full bursts at very far) than it is to nail someone with three G2 shots (or one headshot and one body shot).

The Hemlok also has the worst reload times of any of the ARs and SMGs (and the worst holster/draw times of any weapon in the game), coincidentally.
