Switching from CoD

Going to try BF4, never really played any of the past ones. Burnt out on COD (not saying it’s horrible), and since there aren’t a lot of options for next gen yet I thought I would try out BF.

As a noob switching what is the best way to transition to BF multi-player? It seems very different, and somewhat overwhelming. Playing on ps4, any tips or advice for adjusting would be appreciated.

First remember the scale of BF. CoD is very small in comparison. Get used to the size of the maps, find good vantages, and you should be fine. Also, pick a role and support your squad. Heal, rez, ammo drops, etc. You healing or providing sniper support can be huge in BF. Also, talk to your team and you can’t lose.

You’ll do fine, Battlefield lost it’s uniqueness at BF3

Running and gunning is not recommended. Team work and flanking is the name of the game. Play smart. As a starter, start as medic. It’s easy and gets you a lot of xp. Once your comfortable move on to the next class or role. M416 will be a gun you want to aim for.

Don’t wait for faggotass kill streaks. And learn to drive vehicles.

no.

Play the objective, dont go for kills, and learn to control vehicles properly, the jet takes a while to get the hang off.

You’re obviously new to Battlefield…

Yeah obviously I haven’t played EVERY bf and their expansions. If you had said “bf isn’t the same as it was” I would agree. But to say bf and cod are now the same is completely fucking moronic.

Don’t move when you shoot. You’ll never hit anything. Stop and pop, let the autoaim do the work.

The AK-5C is also a pretty good gun to use.

Learn recoil management, seems basic but once you get it you can use high rate of fire guns and not get shit on at medium range

theres going to be a big learning curve, you need to probably watch a bit of youtube videos so that you have a general idea of whats going on. and its not like COD where you try to take wide flanks or smg spray, you have to play a bit more tactical than that, but at the same time utilize the vehicles and your surroundings in order to get the drop on your enemies. And another thing with the BF series is that you can just play for fun too, sometimes its great to just derp around in a chopper or something. you dont always have to play like ur in the 15thMEU

Play with your sqaud. Dont go on solo suicide missions.

bf4? its uses the concept of fucking gravity, there is a delay in the time you shoot and the time your bullet hits your target don’t be scared if the bullet doesn’t hit immediately, its not like cod where the bullets go in a straight line, tackle the objectives resupply your squad with ammo and health packs while also reviving them spot enemy’s as much as you can and other than that enjoy.

Go back to Cod!

Not sure I agree with not moving. I usually win in combat because I move. I guess it’s dependant on what load out you’re rocking.

agreed
