Hello everyone,
I am here today to give you a few simple tips in surviving Battlefield 4. If you play in Hard Core mode this especially applies to you (and Hard Core mode is the only mode I play these days)
Tip #1 - Communicate with your team!
I don't mean to your whole team, but at least your Teamspeak friends and no I don't mean just general banter talking about how much alcohol you drank on Friday night either. Work together in spotting enemies and giving good descriptions of there whereabouts, what their kit is, any scope glints in the distance etc. You hear a chopper or vehicle nearby, report it to your squad! this will ensure your survival percentage goes up by at least %20... well... maybe...
Tip #2 - Have a plan!
In Battlefield 4 Conquest mode, decide before hand what squad is controlling which capture points. There is no point in running back and fourth to points that are spread from arse hole to breakfast, you become easy cannon fodder for the enemy by making these long distance hikes. Just control two or three points nearby and cap them as they become uncapped or defend them if they are all capped and remain vigilante , your enemy will become discouraged and move on to the next point in which you follow them and mow them down as they move on.
Tip #3 - Don't be a hemorrhoid!
You're moving on to the next objective, don't bunch together like dingle berries! fan out but not so far you find yourself on your own and in the sights of an enemy sniper. e.g. one person take the high road, the other the low road. One to go around a building whilst the other goes inside and refer to Tip #1 and communicate! This way you have more eyes spread over the objective and have a better chance of catching your enemy off guard even if your team mate catches some bullets in the process and dies. You'll then have the chance to cap your mates killers whilst they reload or tea bag your dead friend. Vengeance is sweet!
Tip #4 - Play your role!
Playing Assualt? Throw your medic kits out often!
Playing Support? Throw your ammo bags out often!
Playing Engineer? Work in with the Support player in your squad and be a human death conjurer!
Playing Recon? Scout out, report, actually do recon work! not just camp and annoy the shit out of everyone!
Tip#5 - KDR is not everything!
This one is simple... PLAY THE OBJECTIVE! Your kill death ratio means nothing to no one except your self, in other words no one else gives a shit how many times you've lived and not died.
Max it out too far on the Kill count side and you could end being wrongfully associated with using hacks.
Play the objective and reap the rewards of top scoring, top squad and actually winning the round on occasion.
