Can any Imp Zoners give me some hot tips for Battlefield 4? I can't seem to kill anyone with any of the guns, so I pretty much get all my points from throwing medpacs everywhere. I want to try the Designated Marksman Rifles but I can't get enough points to unlock them as a Recon and paying $5 to unlock guns seems really wrong and is not real Gamer behavior.

I don't understand because I am good at Bad Company 2

It's okay to be bad at games because one day you'll be good at them.

The gameplay itself still feels pretty much the same but it's wrapped in this godawful monetized package that sucks the fun out of a big part of the experience. Though BC2 had the best loadout options of any BF game and I feel like the Vietnam expansion hasn't been topped yet

I seem to be getting worse at these kinds of games, as I get older, rather than better

So play a game that relies less on physical attributes like twitch reflexes and more on game knowledge and experience. Why do you think the extremely elderly posters on the Something Awful website like Dark Souls so much?

Best tip you'll ever receive about this series, is don't play it since it's all pure trash from a huge, stinking rear end.

it has a lot of cluttered needless crap for example hundreds of boring identical weapons, and a progression system in order to unlock guns is rlly gay.

Every problem with BF3/4 started with the Bad Company games and BC2 apologists need their kneecaps broken.

Just figure out what weapons work for you- lmgs and carbines have a lot of strong ones right now m but assault rifles have a lot of poo poo ones. And if you don't like something cry on reddit that's it's op so they can nerf it and continue the trend of making vehicles less fun and relevant because what we need is another infantry centric fps

battlefield was kinda weird to me at first too but then I understood that it was vehicle centric and there's like a billion of them everywhere for a reason

if it's anything like Battlefield 3, just play engie and blow up vehicles. also don't play recon.

From my limited experience with BF3, ppl who play those games are incredibly stupid.

i would set c4 on a popular tank spot and let them continually drive over it, and if they somehow smartened up and got out of the tank, i would shoot them from behind a tiny wall with a cliff to my back. no one tried to flank me ever and i only died if someone from below shot me off the cliff. Not trying to humblebrag here, but wow, FPS gamers are loving dumb.

If you have any amount of strategic thought in your brain, and you know what your class is meant to do, you will dominate 90% of the people who play these games.

in my multiplayer fps experience most players dont understand that concept, so after ducking behind a wall for 1-2 seconds they forget that you exist

according to the stats screen the AN-94 is a million times better than the other assault rifles...why even bother with having so many if this is one is qualitatively better? i can't seem to kill anyone with it anyway though
