I suck in battlefield 4, what are my options?

I really really like battlefield 4, but It’s too hard to me, my best score is over 4800.

I’m not used to play CoD, I play titanfall, halo, destiny.. and I can get a good score in these games, but BF is really hard.

One of my biggest problems is sometimes I can’t see anything, I can’t see an enemy but he can perfectly one hit kill me.

Yes I’m a noob and I’m not proud of this.

You just got to keep playing. Learn where your enemy likely is, if you engage with someone and you don’t drop them then immediately move to another position. I tend to try and think, what would I do if I was that enemy, where would I love to?

Try and stay with your squad but if they’re not team players then get defensive, don’t blindly run around corners, sneak, try and aim your shots a little higher so you drop enemies quicker. Have fun.

Battlefield is really confusing visually at first. The contrast between players and the environment is very low. The skill in BF is training your eye to catch detail and knowing where enemies are likely to be. Hardcore helped me out by forcing me to stop moving and look around before moving to the next cover.

There is a surprisingly long and steep learning curve in BF.

Play conquest. Run to the objectives and hide. Try not to run out in the open, take cover so people don’t see you. Use the engineer class so you can defend yourself against vehicles.

Learn the maps

Smoke can really help in concealing movement or misdirection. It’s also a help when escaping from attacking vehicles. Playing Rush maps might help because the enemy is in front of you. Learn the hiding spots. Death match is a good way to practice aim and reaction, because there’s enemies everywhere.

I really suck at conquest. My skill rating has plummeted since I started playing this game mode. I have found that many times (with the exception of metro and locker) that squads dont really play the objectives; most of the time they just turn into large sniper matches OR you play with a bunch of randoms and end up going against a team of organized players who just destroy your team.

I think its always best to play with a squad of people you know if possible. Sadly, many that I knew who did play this have moved onto something else.

hire me as a coach.

People say you have to play conquest but I’d suggest otherwise. Playing rush helps you increase the strategic vision you need to have as you learn how to move within the environment and as it is more crowded, it helps you improve your shooting skills as well.

I wish I was OP. Think about how he will be thrilled if he discovers all the maps and tactical matches _

skill stat is pure bullshit, dont sweat it

Heck I never comment on things like this but here you go.

Watch your back

Check corners

Walking around rather than running will give you a faster ready up when you aim

Pay attention to the Mini map while simultaneously scanning your field of vision in game.

If you see someone and they haven’t seen you mark them and only take the shot when you can get the kill.

You can shoot to distract if you don’t get spotted to flank from another angle

In medium/long distances with an AR or SMG shooting in bursts give you more control you don’t need your weapon to be in burst mode.

Recon can be played with SMG’s so you can make use of claymores/beacons/motion detectors

Try keeping close to things you can take cover on, you can definitely come out on top even if they have the drop on you as long as there a tree/pillar you can move behind while in a firefight.

Vehicle familiarity can open up a whole different type of gameplay for you.

BF4 is my first of the series but im a huge fan of it now, the amount of variation that’s possible between Classes is great and its something completely different from other fps I’ve played. With hard line just released I’ve been on that, its nothing like bf4 and a little disappointing with the lack of weapons and unlock scheme, it feels like cod.

Last part was a rant but that’s all I can think of atm.

Tldr: map memorization and weapon choice are your biggest factors.

Play rush, the game mode is very linear and you learn where people hide. Once you know where the enemy is most likely to hide you can start to figure out where you can kill them from. Map memorization is your best benefit. Picking a weapon based upon the playstyle you choose. If you are bad at CQ then pick a medium range weapon. If you get stuck in a bunch of random gun fights pick a good all arounder. Also don’t just run around corners…

And all of this is before you start learning vehicles.

Thanks to everyone :smiley: !! I’ve reading your tips and I will keep practicing and playing different game modes :slight_smile: Thanks guys :wink:

BTW, why is the background pink… with a kitten tea cup?

Its not as active as other bf4 subreddits. There’s a sub for the X1 and another that has an underscore in it /r/battlefield_4 or something like that.

always remember to limit your enemies’ line of sight of you, strafe lots, use cover. When engaging multiple enemies, use cover in a way that allows you to fire upon them one at a time, rather than going balls deep.

absolutely , here is fire - cover - fire - cover , thanks :slight_smile:

I’ve been practicing and following your tips tonight and here are the results of the last match :

Thanks :smiley:
