I’ve played BC, BC2, BF3, and even a little bit of BF4 on my xbox, but now I am a PC gamer, and recently I bought BF4 for it and I am doing terrible. Anyone got any advice, so maybe I can do a bit better? ---

- K/D is not important. - PTFO and teamwork are important. - If you feel unsecure to fly a chopper or jet or any other vehicle, use your Xbox controller (some of the vehicles are clearly designed for controllers) - Make sure your graphics settings are good enough so you can see clearly but also get a high framerate. This shouldn’t be an issue since you’re comming from console - You can rebind the keys to whatever button you want so you have faster access to items - Try to stay away from controllers as much as possible so you get better at KB/M - Check so your mouse is a responsive one and not ignoring any dots (DPI). I’ll edit in a link to a great video tomorrow when I get to my PC. - The game is broken. You are allowed to get pissed and rage about it every single day. It isn’t your fault, it’s the netcode. - Server browser or nothing. I don’t want a 90+ pinger in the server - Cable is ALWAYS better than Wi Fi - Don’t get Premium - Play the damn objective or jump off a cliff - Bail a chopper and I bail your PC - Don’t like objective gameplay? TDM is the mode for you - You better get used to the bugs, because DICE aint giving a crap anymore ---

Alright cool thanks for the advice. Yeah, when I don’t care about my K/D I, personally have more fun. I see why a lot more people prefer keyboard and mouse though, the accuracy is crazy. The recoil on the guns feels weird when I use the mouse to shoot though. ---

Just tap fire it and let one or two bullets leave the gun before the next tap ---

The main thing starting out in PC is getting used to the keyboard and mouse. Try and find servers with 32 or 48 players and try to get used to running around and switching between weapons and equipment. After getting used to aiming and movement around the map you will be fine! Honestly in my opinion 48 man servers are the most fun, it lets you move around the maps freely (to an extent) so keep that in mind while looking for servers to join! ---

Thanks I’ve been doing better, I play the medic and been getting a bunch of points.
