IF YOU'RE NEW TO BF4, ESPECIALLY ON PC, READ THIS

[~RANSAK THE ELDER~]

Welcome to one of the best FPS games ever made. If you're new, here's some tips and general "do's and dont's" for you to help with your transition to BF4. None of these are steadfast rules. They're just some friendly suggestions from someone who has more than 1,700 hours on the game.

So, here we go.......

1. BF4 on PC does not play the same as BF4 on console, even if you use a controller rather than M&K. It generally takes the average player about 10-15 levels before they start to get t he feel of the game. The TTK is fast and the health regen rate typically varies from server to server. So, be prepared to experience slightly different details from server to server.

2. If you're getting BF4 for flashy skins and camos, this is not the game for you.

3. Many servers out there do not like noob players. Generally, anyone with a player account under 40 or so is considered a noob player. Why is this a thing? Because there are some things in BF4 that a lot of noob players (and some veteran players) do that are really frowned upon. Below are some of those things.

4. If you play support or medic, play support or medic. Revive, drop health, drop ammo, repair vehicles. Don't just run around looking for kills or camp a rooftop with an LMG and not drop ammo or health or not repair. Playing your class and playing the game mode objectives are the fastest way to level up and unlock attachments etc.

5. Don't be that guy or girl who uses the shottie with frag rounds. Yes, its part of the game but, it weak and nothing screams you're an a-hole louder than using the shottie with frag rounds.

6. If you're thinking about cheating or you are a cheat, go back to COD.

7. Don't use choppers, especially attack choppers and jets, as taxis to go from one point to another and then, just bail out and destroy them. There are a lot of players that like flying who are pretty good at it. A good pilot, especially a helo pilot can really make or break a team.

8. Flying in this game is hard, even if you have a joystick. It takes practice. If you want to learn how to fly, go learn the practice range. Trying to figure it out on live server will pi$$ other players off.

9. There are times when you're going to try and complete an easter egg challenge or you're going try to unlock a particular weapon etc, which is fine. If you use your filter settings, you can typically find servers dedicated to easter eggs, camo/attachment/weapon challenges etc. Its generally a lot easier and a lot less frustrating to complete these tasks on those dedicated servers than trying to pull it off on live public server.

10. If you're using a VPN for whatever reason, there are a lot of servers that are set to kick players who use VPN's. So, keep that in mind.

11. BF4 is not COD. It doesn't play like COD. It doesn't look like COD. The weapons are different. The set up is different. The game play is different. So, keep that in mind before you buy the game.

That's about as much as I can think of ATM. If you can think of any tips and other useful info that I missed, feel free to throw it in the comments.

Peace!

Thanks for making this. Hopefully I won't piss anyone off when I start playing... Then again most of what you said is common sense to me.

the real a-holes are ppl who berate others for using weapons they don't like, shottie frag rounds aren't what they used to be and tbh you'd have to be p ass to get killed by them, if the server doesn't blacklist it in its rules, then use whatever you want and have fun

No one is being berated in this thread. So, settle down.

There's an etiquette to every game, even Battlefield. In golf, you don't step in a player's line when they're trying to put or talk while they're trying to tee off. In baseball, you don't try and hit the runner with the ball. In basketball, you don't punch a player in the nards when they dunk on you. These things just aren't done and if someone does them, they're generally considered a doosh.

Sure, frag rounds are options for shotties and players use them. The ones that use them are typically low level players who camp rooftops and just spam frag rounds. Its weak gameplay. It does nothing to benefit their team and usually signals that the player has some serious social issues.

Moral of the story: social skills are an important component to every day life. Get some.

[~RANSAK THE ELDER~]

Part of developing social skills is simply accepting the fact that not everyone agrees with you and you're not always right.

Eat some fruit and calm down.

Doesn't even mention fake player count and bblog
