How do you want to better yourself as a player?

I want to kill guys at a higher rate, my kill per minute is only 0.9. And I wants higher SPM as that is very low sitting somewhere in the 270-290 range. Slowly I’m getting better though

I’d like to get better at run and gun style of play. Even though right now the higher SPM I’d get doing that means little in terms of game rewards.

My goal is to play more. I have a lot of spare time when i’m finished with work and I have seen myself get better and better at this game since I got it, but I struggle to play it solo. I either take it too seriously or get bored. I wish I could invest more time without having to wait for my mates to come online. I hope the updates make it a bit more less irritating to play, solo than it is now.

“bettering yourself” in a battlefield game has nothing to do with KDR and all about points per minute. Sorry (not sorry) its always been this way, this is what separates battlefield from others. You know, since their are actually objectives to capture and defend.

I think this is just an excuse people with bad K/D’s use. What fun is losing every gun fight just cos you’re spamming ammo packs to get points up. BF is a collective of everything that makes it a good game. I don’t know how anyone can say K/D doesn’t matter in a game that’s primary core of everything is to shoot and kill the opposite team players.

as you said, it’s more than just KD or points. I have been in the top 5 at the end of a round for points but only had 3 kills the whole round. Objectives give more points than kills. I personally find it more fun to play a balance. My KD sucks but I like to win and do very often. Would I like to get more kills than deaths? absolutely. That just takes practice.

I’d like to get better at throwing Jeep stuff. I want to be able to run-jump-throw over two story buildings.

exactly tdm got boring and tdm was just kill farming. :slight_smile:

And so now we have objective modes because it’s more fun and interesting to kill for a reason. To have a focus for that killing. It allows strategy that otherwise wouldn’t be there. And in objective modes the right play isn’t always to protect the kdr and to farm kills. The rightplay isn’t just pure volume of killing.

And yet lots of players still play every mode identical to tdm. I always say that every mode in BF is tdm because so many just play it like tdm and not as if they are trying to increase their share of flags owned or bomb the mcoms or what not. And to me players seem to like playing tdm even more in objective modes because of easier targets due to many enemies trying to take and protect objectives. These players can sit up in the cheapseats sorta speak and farm the ones pushing objectives. And do better than in a pure TDM mode where the only objective is pure killing and everyone is on the same page playing for the same reason.

IF you’re constantly still playing tdm in objective modes then you’re a kill farmer.

A kill farmer just someone who is cultivating kills for the sake of cultivating kills not for the sake of grabbing an objective. They behave like a farmer would, harvest the crops and then wait for them to grow back and do it again. The only way they take objectives is if the red carpet rolls out and they hear crickets for 10 minutes.

A kill farmer never thinks about getting in a flag zone under fire in order to turn a flag, prevent it from turning or to try to blow up an mcom or grab the bomb and make a great dash for the mcom or rushing in in a high risk attempt to prevent the mcom from blowing up etc. They just there to pad k/d.

Kill farmer is like anything else. Some are good at it. Some are bad it.

As I said though there is a fine line between kill farmer and an objective player.

You obviously want and need kills. But the farmer is purely focused on stats and padding kdr and staying alive at all costs. They always hiding behind 2 or 3 friendlies. They never go first. They don’t lead the way. They just there to mop up and pad kdr.

Now the opposite isn’t good either. Just always rushing in to objectives to get killed. Although on pubs I find there is a lack of players that push objectives hard when we need them. And so often times you can just keep pushing objectives to a fault because so many on your team are farming that you have to do that to make up for their behavior. Because when everyone farming then nothing gets done.

Exactly. Well put. A lot of players don’t want to get their hands dirty sorta speak.

I recommend broken machine tip videos. It helped me. I use to be very bad at fps.

spm is game mode and play style dependent, some game modes are much better than others. also with stuff like xp boosts in previous games it made spm pretty irrelevant. kd ratio is a better indicator of skill but can also be padded. add revives received on to deaths for a better picture. kpm is probably the best stat that indicates skill in combination the kdr since you can’t really pad it.

exactly. try to be a good team mate and capture objectives but don’t forget that this game is a shooter, where killing the enemy is the meat of the game.

KPM is also mode dependent. Playing a lot of Breakthrough, Frontlines, Domination can help your KPM.

If I could improve anything as an individual player, it’d be aiming for headshots. I truly do try, but not as actively as I should, especially when it comes to enemies I get the drop on. I lose plenty of gunfights because the other person pinged me in my head and I was aiming for thier torso.

Other than that I do perfectly fine in the game and love my style of play.

i like to be younger better reflexes and more time to play the game that wold help i think. but im 45 pushing 46 so this is just for fun =D

I hardly play BFV cuz its trash.

But ProLegion? Arent u some euro T5 team? Yeah I’ll come around to on you when Comp becomes a thing and servers open

U dont even play…

I plan to camp excessively just like the best players in this game. No more PTFO. Just hide and bust out the s’mores and my bipod lmg.
