Not saying that it matters the most by any means, but to say it’s worthless is a lie. If I have a high K/D ratio and am spotting enemies and keeping them off objectives, then how is it bad. A lot of BF players seem to trash K/D stat and try to back it up with “but I focus objective and get a high score who cares if I die 16 times a game with 10 kills?” Anyone can run into an objective and lay in the corner racking up points. It’s the players that have the balance that are the best. Instead of trashing people with high K/D realize that if someone wasn’t killing all of the enemies you wouldn’t be able to lay in the building so easily racking up points. It takes both types of players to have success, or someone with balance.
Saw a player today go 8-17 and get second place on the team by a large margin. I was 63-14 and barely above him. He was far more useful than everyone running around mindlessly killing people.
Eh your probably right about that but saying it like you have will surely cause a argument im starting to think thats why people post about K/D and there preference to play hardcore just because they want to argue pointlessly because they can
A high KPM, SPM and K/D, yes please join my squad.
Right but it took both of you. If everyone was 8-17 the team would get raped. My point is that these people act like K/D means nothing and people with high K/D are worthless. Kills force respawns and can cause enemies to get cold feet. I’ve forced enemies to spawn in tanks and ignore the objectives just because I pissed them off so much.
PS4?
Yes. You meet the criteries?
Well when it comes to battlefield I honestly feel K/D does tell some good stats. As most of the time the person that has the highest K/D is usually the person with the most flag defends. I don’t understand why people always feel like you need to rush in everywhere. If you have the flag then defend it that’s what most people do hence why some people have high K/D. And some people just play smarter rather then being rambo running around quick scoping all day.
If K/D was a pointless stat then they would remove it but K/D can actually tell if someone is good or not its funny people think it doesn’t.
Many times I would have like a 3 K/D a match yet I still come out of a match with like 8 flag captures and usually have a good amount of defends. Its just a matter of how you play is all. People need to get over the K/D stuff. If someone wants to sit back and snipe and go like 6-0 then do it. You want to sit in a tank and go 60-0 then go ahead. People play the game the way they want to have fun.
I never understand all the whining from people. Oh my squad leaders a sniper so find a new squad. Or my team sucks well then switch teams is all you have to do.
Yes people just have their own play styles, and if your team sucks you can literally just switch teams. I’ve found that most of the time the defending team wins in operations so I make sure I’m defending every time. Easy win and also kills do matter a little more when defending since their tickets can run out.
you cant even view k/d, which is good no more “if you’re k/d isn’t above a 2 then you don’t know the game in any way” people. my k/d is probably above a 2 in bf1. but i have no way of viewing it.
There’s a companion app that allows you to view it. I just posted a picture of what it looks like.

Geniun stats, sure we can play some.
I try to achieve a balance between the two, try to be useful to the team which can either be me defending or caping flags or stopping enemy surges, keeping them at bay so my teamates can get through. So far in this game I’ve been reviving and healing while caping and defending flags. I can’t mow down herds of enimeies like I can in bf4 tho
The k/d stat among others is messed up right now though, so people have a right to complain. In the release notes of the first update, DICE clearly stated that part of the update was to fix some of the post-game stat calculations. They didn’t say which ones and if it fixed everything, so people’s complaints are legitimate.
If you are playing Operations and are attacking K/D is very, very important since your team only has a limited number of deaths, you need your players using their lives effectively not diving on objectives over and over dieing wasting all of your armies reinforcements. On conquest yea, K/D is less important but the fact of the matter is, if you have a very good player, with very good situational awareness, aim and understanding the game they will have a high K/D most of the time while still playing the objective.
I mean, yeah, anecdotal evidence proves your point in…ONE single case. amazing.
Still not true if playing conquest. Even if people are running around just shooting things and not capturing they are still contributing to the team as kills count as tickets. So every kill is a ticket for your team the points means nothing really thats just your xp even if someone only has like 6000 points but has like 35 kills they still did a lot for your team as thats 35 tickets contributed out of the 1000. No matter what people are doing they are contributing to the team unless they just aren’t playing at all.
If you are showing off your KDR, you are playing the wrong game. Play COD instead.
Here we dont care about KDR’s. Only winning the game with team & doing the objectives.
