Perfect! The notes are released when the update goes live!
He is wrong.
You get points for your team killing the npc's at, the same time you get the same amount of points to bank. Basically you get 10 points for a kill, at the same time you get 10 points to bank ( so 20 total). So if you don't get killed you can double your teams score by banking.
This is why we needed the faq. Cause apparently people still don't understand this unfortunately. Really straight forward though.
There is no "personal score" other than bragging rights

That initial loadout, Expedition, was basically my go-to loadout from Titanfall 1.
XO-16 Chaingun, Vortex Shield, Panzer Dragoon style lock-on missiles.
I want that goddamn loadout in MP so bad. lol

I know someone at Respawn watches a bunch of samurai movies and thought up of numerous executions that they are currently not using.

Okay that's what I thought.
The other thing is that if you kill an enemy pilot and steal their money, you have to bank the stolen money to get it scored for the team.
That is correct. You get 50% of what he had when you killed him. But you can only bank it. It won't be added until you do.

Why does it even matter when they're all vague and useless
Also I never even tried phase embark because it seemed useless, guess it's worth a shot though huh
You're making assumptions about these notes.

Based on the past notes and their statement on future notes.
Uhh its quite useful in LTS with any Titan, quick battery pickups can really help. Everything in this game is there for a reason, everything!

Yeah, I think people expecting a ton of detail for balance tweaks and whatnot are going to be disappointed.
They don't want people to start completely changing their behavior based on conclusions gathered by patch notes.
They want people to keep doing what they're doing and see how the changes organically impact play.
Better data for them to work with than saying 'hey, we did this and this and this' and a significant chunk of the audience goes 'oh, well then I'm going to start doing this and this and this' immediately.

Yeah I never thought about that.
I refuse to believe anyone can do anything well with Hover though, whenever anyone is using Hover that's a free kill for me lol.
Respawn are a flexible studio - they will do what they can to please the community. I expect these notes to be a bit more in-depth.

I used it for a bit cause I was used to the same mechanic in Halo 5. Immediately switched to low profile though, lol

I'm pretty sure hover is for people who have a hard time aiming while in the air. Once you get better, it's definitely useless. Makes me think it should be a kit that's unlocked earlier.
When you kill something you'll notice that there are like two numbers that flash on screen out of the body, they are different colors. I believe one of those goes directly to the points total and the other goes to you "wallet" to be deposited for more points.
Devotion + Hover = A lot of kills.
It is literally the only gun Hover is useful with though.
I wish wallhang was default like in the original.
I got a pretty awesome kill on homestead with it. Someone was up on top of the huge tower in the middle of the map, ejected from my Titan and used hover to take them out while up in the air. Felt bad ass lol.
Only for LTS
I'm pretty sure it's going to go like this: Everything people wanted fixed they left untouched, things people never wanted adjusted were "tweaked" and ruined.
That's how these things usually go. I've repeated what had to be changed ad nauseum. I doubt they do any of it. I'm expecting Tone to be nerfed really bad when all they had to do were a few more minor tweaks. But we'll see, fingers crossed.
I hope not - would hurt my enjoyment a lot. The 40mm is by far my favorite Titan weapon.
Respawn aren't Bungie, they're smart enough to make things useless.
True, they definitely aren't Bungie.
Bungie is the absolute worst. It's crazy how people still play Destiny religiously like that. Game is pure aggravation.

Hover is awesome in the right hands. If you're dying all the time while using it, you ain't using it right. Going from wall running to a jump then hover above an opponent confuses the shit out of them. On consoles at least it's really hard to keep your bearings while quickly attempting to aim straight up.
Nah, my volt rains death upon those beneath me.

Lol got me thinking. Phase dash behind, sweep kick like Northstar, enemy titan lands on knees, honorable execution (head/torso cut off).

They may not be as good as they were in Titanfall 1 but they're still money.
Nade love.
Nice! With Ordnance Expert they're incredible and plentiful. I get at least a quarter of my kills from grenades.

Maybe I wasn't being clear enough. What I meant was that in BH the score you see on the scoreboard is not just plain "how much you banked", which leads to the confusion on how to win BH.He is wrong.
You get points for your team killing the npc's at, the same time you get the same amount of points to bank. Basically you get 10 points for a kill, at the same time you get 10 points to bank ( so 20 total). So if you don't get killed you can double your teams score by banking.

I just slide below them and pick them off, don't think I've been killed by hover once.

Damn, son, nice!
They really should have titan loadouts, just like pilots. It would be great to be able to set loadouts for titans with a skin, execution, paint, and perks. Having to go change all that stuff is tedious and pointless when a mechanism already exists for such a thing in the game. I wonder if the patch is going to touch any of their menus. Did they find someone who could figure out how to get all modes on one page? Perhaps some type of additional row....
Nice, I haven't even tried frags yet.

I haven't found any good use for grenades. I just stick with arc and cloud.
Edit: I mean frags.

Why take unnecessary risks? In that situation (where the enemy is in a middle of an action and unaware) body shots work perfectly fine.

Frags and firestars are good for killing bots. Firestars also do considerable titan damage.

Haha, awesome.
I'm going to be honest, half the time I forget I'm even carrying grenades. I barely use them.

Yeah firestars are great. Attach one to a Titan, hide, and watch that meter tick.

arc nades, just love messing with Titans while being a pilot, and like to help out friendly titans in battle by blinding the enemy.
Me too. Since the first game my favorite activity has always been annoying and kill Titans as a pilot.
