Looking for tips and tricks to get better.

[Zappieroth]

Currently I am enjoying the game alright but I did like to see if I can get better at it to enjoy it a little more.

I am not new to shooters so I know my way around, Yet I still get these 15-15 matches were I just die as much as I kill.
Not all modes are about killing sure but it would be nice to at least not die every 5 seconds.

I mainly play Shadow or Grenadier and I have had a few matches were I just walked over the enemy team but trying the same tactics as I did in the match before don't always seem to work.

Bunnyhopping seems to gain quite some speed yet you are completeley visable on the Radar.
I am looking for tips and tricks that will help me have consistent games.

With my 1500 hours on Titanfall 1 I think I should be more then capable to take on the good players in this game with some practice.

So thats bassicly it, Any suggestions are appriciated.

First, to raise your k/d ratio it's probably a good idea to not play shadow as much. It's the class with the overall second worst ratio, as Jay said. Grenadier is the worst, so your favorite classes probably hold you back a bit.

With that said, what works for me is not running a lot. Unless I know an area is clear of players I will just walk, which gives me time to look and listen for targets while not giving me away. Once you know maps intimately the loss of speed isn't as bad since you can always take the most efficient routes. When playing shadow and wraith you can obviously run as much as you like since they don't get revealed. Using silenced weapons in also an option to stay hidden and there are some good ones like supernova and whisper.

Map knowledge will come with time and you will figure out the best classes to use on certain maps. You'll know obvious spots where people like to camp and avoid them, be able to take the most covered route to the other side of the map. Cheap kills can often be had by flanking the popular spots or throwing a grenade at a spawn exit where wraiths like to hang.

Don't hang around areas marked "enemy area" on your screen, it reveals you on the map no matter what. People camping in these areas are the easiest kills, don't do it unless you know you can dominate the other team.

Finally don't always do the same thing, as you noticed already results tend to vary. If you face a team of campers, whip out a grenade launcher and go rack up wraith kills. But you will just as often face a team of rushers, then don't be afraid to just turtle up near your spawn and get easy kills. There is no shame in winning even if everyone in the match calls you a dirty camper. If your team is made up of a bunch of fools and you, just accept the match loss and work on your own k/d ratio.

If you got as much kill as death, you're quite alright.
Bunnyhopping did not reveal you, but it make quite a noise. Enough for someone to be ready for a fight.

I also agree 13-13 is an alright K/D. I mean, this is a frenetic shooter so matches tend to get frenetic like that, specially in small maps like Sunnsquare Mall (which is one of the most popular maps by far).

But when you don't feel like playing this brainless playstyle where you'll kill someone and die right next, I think Avy tips make sense. Like, slowdown your own pace a little, try switching classes/loadouts, don't rush, don't run, go and slowly conquest your territory (enemies are probably rushing into your face anyway). You might end up with a more positive K/D ratio this way.

Another good idea is to never stop moving. When you kill someone they see where you are, even if they never saw you before they died. Not moving from that spot they see is a good way to give them an easy kill. Hiding around the corner from that spot can be a good way to ambush players who get blinded by their desire for revenge too.

I did this playing Sniper on Dome actually.
I don't see any possible benefit in staying in the same place anyway.
It will probably/Most likely get you killed.

Whenever I made a kill or 2 I would switch location to try and not get found out.
Which worked really well and I probably now have the highest killstreak on a Sniper.... Even though in most games I am TERRIBLE Sniper.

These are some good tips guys thank you very much.
Ill see what I can make of this!

Ill correct myself here, After extensifly playing the way people recommended here I certainly have improved.
Most matches I at least have a 2.00KD now.
Most games KD wouldn't matter but here it surely does....
And frankly I think I like it.
