coming from being amazing at bf3 to being absolute shit at bf4 is the most frustrating thing ever. I had bf4 for 360. sucked at it. now I have it for pc. suck at it. I don’t get it. I literally could pick up bf3 at anytime and be amazing but bf4 is the exact opposite. no matter when how or where I touch this game, I fuck up miserably. wtf??
It’s a very different game. People struggle to understand this concept all the time. It’s VERY different. It’s not like Halo where if you’re good in one, you’re good in em all.
it bull. I literally just quit a match cause I was 1 and 30. its to the point where I don’t want to play. I’ve read everything about how to play the game and how it’s different than bf3 and yet I struggle to get a single kill and to not die 20+ times. its not fun anymore. I’ve been trying for 4 hours. granted that’s not much but common, I should be able to get at least 5 kills and not die so many fucking times
I’ll tell you this much: take it slow and play cautiously. That’s what I do whenever I’m struggling until I get into the grove of it again. Learn the maps (they can be pretty awful) and take your time.
I stayed back more and played behind my team and tried to pick out people to kill. every time I tried to do anything I’d get killed. the enemies would literally go past the other players or shoot specifically for me and leave the other players until I was dead. SL far I’m not liking the maps. I miss bf3s maps which were much more fun. honestly I’ll probably just go back to bf3. I don’t have hours and hours to suffer through the frustrating style of bf4 that I’ve felt so far. I’m looking for fun. I don’t mins putting in the work to get better as long as its fun but I’m not having fun in bf4 so far
If you don’t want to actually make an effort to fix your problem then maybe /r/offmychest is the subreddit for you.
I do want to, j just don’t have the time to struggle though without having much fun
It’s a tough game. That’s the nature of it.
Dont worry… I suck too. Play locker… I find it one of the easier maps to do well on.
You’re gonna take your lumps for a bit. Learning the maps is a big part of it. The more you play, the better you’ll understand where you should and shouldn’t be. I’d also spend some serious time on the test range. Get a feel for the guns and how to manage recoil. You have to master getting your sights on target and sending as many rounds downrange in tight groupings. It’s not easy. Unlock the 416 and go med pack and defib. Play med/low pop servers, get in a decent squad and support your teammates. You’ll eventually get your bearings.
Stop being a little bitch and just play the fucking game.
stfu
I was mediocre in bf3 and I’m mediocre in bf4. Sometimes I have a bad game, but typically I get an even kd ratio or a couple of kills over deaths. No idea what yours doing wrong, sorry dude 
It’s because bf4 has been ruined by the developers, they’ve made it so you can’t be dominant in a game, there is always a way to kill you, regardless of your effort
how have they done that?
Really? Because I found that the shooting mechanics are really similar. I do ok at BF3 and I do very similar at BF4.
Hey buddy.
It may not be the game for you, but being a total fan i’m always hopeful for new players.
The first thing that comes to mind is so fucking what. I go rounds 1 and 30 on occasion, and i’m still top 3 in score. Why? You should know, being a BF3 player. Play the target. Heal players. Throw down health packs. Ammo. Revive. Capture points. Repair. Gun as secondary in a tank. There are tons of ways to play that don’t rely on KDR.
Second, if you’re playing normal/vanilla, i’d say people die slower.
If you’ve got quick reaction times, try hardcore. People actually die from a full clip, or a sniper shot. Just remember hardcore runs without a minimap, reloading causes you to lose bullets in mag, and UI in general is less.
Also, what weapons are you using? Weapon style? Up close shotgun? Short range burst mechanic? Longer range Support or long range sniper?
Always keep moving! Snipers everywhere. NEVER STAND IN ONE PLACE FOR MORE THAN 40 SECONDS. Guestimate.
Have fun! I’d be willing to jump in a game with you and play a few friendly games. I play HC almost exclusively (I seriously SUCK at vanilla), but i’ll do whatever. I’m JohnnyMangos on Origin!
Everything has a counter,
it’s not that I care about my kdr. it’s that I get killed before I can do any of the other objectives or help out my team. I know there is more than killing, I’ve played over 300 hours in bf3 and I rarely go for over 40 kills. I love the battlefield play style, it’s more than run and gun and actually realistic. right now I’m playing as support medium to long range. I have the mg4 I think it’s called. great gun but I still can’t get many kills. and I never am in the same spot for more than 10 seconds cause the damm snipers. and that’d be awesome for you to help in game! I’ll try hc to see if I do better, I’ve been told it’s easier in some ways
also I might switch to assault to see how that does. I played mostly assault and engineer in bf3 so maybe that will go better
lol, 4 hours? I have 1600 and pretty much everyone else who’s playing now has over 400. You’re basically going in blind, playing against players who know every nook and cranny.
