I am so noob, but am totally willing to be helpful doing stuff other than shooting people in the face. Where can I learn how best to get started, how to unlock expediently, game types for farming XP, etc? ---

Just play on big maps and stick to vehicles. Use the vehicles so you get Better at them and unlock stuff for them. Playing this game is the only way to get really good. Ain’t no cod ---

NO to the guy above me…NO whatever you do DON’T use online matches to “practice” using the vehicles that’s what the range is for… Know why ? Because what will happen is that you’ll get in a chopper and have a whole bunch of people spawn on it then at the first hint of trouble you’ll bail and everyone who spawned in the chopper will die…or you’ll get shot down 10 seconds after taking off… And that’s IF you don’t spazz out and crash on take off. If you don’t know how to handle or use the vehicles than you’re just a liability and it will piss off your entire team/squad. Perfect summary of how people feel about this [http://youtu.be/kJgqc9h2jV4](http://youtu.be/kJgqc9h2jV4) Spot ALLLLLL the time unless a guy ambushes you and you can’t…puts a bright orange marker over the enemies head so not only you can see them better but it marks that guy out to the rest of your team too…if you die and someone kills the guy(s) you spotted you still get points… Play your role. Assault-flush out people with your grenade launcher,throw down med packs to heal and use the defibrillator to revive. Engineer - take out tanks and choppers and boats with your rockets, repair your teams vehicles and if you’re sneaky destroy your enemies with your repair torch Support - lay down suppressive fire with your LMGs, lay traps with claymores in areas you’re trying to defend…help take out armour when you unlock c4 later. Throw down ammo packs/crates for team/squad mates Recon - Put down spawn beacons in strategic positions so your team/squad can spawn in on them, use your soflam binoculars to laser designate ground and air vehicles for your engineers and other vehicles to take out. Use c4 to take out armour if you can. Doing all this stuff will get you points even if you don’t get kills from them ! What’s important in this game is supporting your team. Your K/D is mostly useless and I’ll explain that later in my next point PTFO - Play the fucking objective. So…you can snipe people from 1000m…that’s great…but if the other team is arming and detonating mcoms or taking objectives then you sniping from the back of spawn is useless. With the exception of death match your k/d doesn’t really matter…yes if you die an excessive amount than there is a problem but I’ve gone -20+ and still came out on top because I armed all the mcoms. THAT’S what matters. Going +50 doesn’t matter if you don’t win. ---
