I’m kinda new to BF series, I’m playing Battlefield 4 right now, and the main problem I have in this game is understanding what subgoals I should do to win a match? I know the main goal is to hold points and kill people, but what are the subgoals? I mean, in LoL you have “farm, destroy towers, destroy inhibitor, destroy nexus”, in Quake you have “take powerups, control powerups, make your opponent lack of resources, kill him”, what are subgoals in BF? Controlling vehicles? Map/point control? I tried to just run and defend points at all costs (I play supports and defensive roles in multiplayer games) but I still get a feeling I’m doing nothing to win. My score usually is at medium, was the best a couple of times, but usually I’m like 8th-17th. ---

Everything done in game should be done with the purpose of holding more flags than the other team. This game is all about sticking together as a squad and using your gadgets to further that cause. As support you not only kill enemies but also supply crucial ammo to your engineer, assault and recon class. If no one has ammo, they can’t kill anyone and the flag falls. Threat analysis is also key. If a tank is driving you guys back, you need to support the anti tank guys to help push back the threat, same with a heli. butttt, don’t fixate on killing threats as sometimes its best to just ignore them and flank around for a back cap. For infantry maps, it’s more about suppressing a zerg rush or doing so yourself. Not every enemy needs killed. Again, whatever serves to help the team hold more flags, period. Be it defending or assaulting. It’s a very complex game at the top level. And if you are just starting out, don’t worry too much about it. You will find your groove. I can say that a good support player in my mind is a guy that goes out of his way to supply ammo to the slayers. I’m always out of ammo, and most support players suck at supporting. They choose support because they can’t kill in 31 bullets. Throw an ammo box at every person you see with a blinking bullet icon and I promise your score will climb fast. C4 is used for vehicles that get super close to cover and need dealing with. Claymores are perfect for blind corners or choke points (lower c on zavod is a honey pot for them). The ucav is amazing at dealing with helis, and the rest are troll gadgets IMO. Tldr; stick with your squad to help support them as you hold more points than the other team. If you have squad mates who just run around by themselves, find a new one. My best advice I can give, squad up with the MVP on your team and just watch what he/she does. It won’t be easy as I bet they are constantly moving in what at first will appear to be random directions,but trust their score. That’s the meta, there are too many intricacies to discuss in a Reddit post. ---
