Anything I should know? Any tips or just general info? I played battlefield 3 on the 360…not much but I did play it. My feelings on the game went up and down. Been watching clips recently on some crazy creative stuff going on and it’s rubbed off on me. It’s 22 quid on the store at the minute (I’m on ps4) so I’m going to bite the bullet. ---

If you want to level up fast, use all your exp boosts as you get them (maybe save the 200% ones for when there are double exp events) Or you will end up like me… level 95 with 100s of exp boosts i’ll never get to use. 😛 Play the objective. Don’t be camping far off in the distance with a sniper. If you are very new to the battlefield genre, you might want to find some Metro\Locker 24/7 servers. These are maps without vehicles, still 64 players if you play conquest. You want to log on to the battlelog ([battlelog.battlefield.com](http://battlelog.battlefield.com)) and start the phantom bow assignments, check this [link](http://www.primagames.com/games/battlefield-4/tips/how-unlock-phantom-bow-battlefield-4). This is how you get the Phantom Bow, but it will take a while as the assignments are pretty intensive. Also, try to play with people in your squad. ---

> If you are very new to the battlefield genre, you might want to find some Metro\Locker 24/7 servers. Holy shit no. This will show you the most boring part of Battlefield: Sitting on opposite ends of a smoke-grenaded door shooting wildly through the smoke and throwing grenades. There is no skill on this map, and offers the least of what makes BF a great genre. I think Conquest is where it’s at, and I think a map like Golmud Railway or Rogue Transmission offer the best variety as far as larger level designs with several different sized firefight zones, and several different approaches you can take (PTFO, vehicles, sniping, etc).
