How do I stop.. sucking :(

Re: How do I stop.. sucking

If you really want to get a good K/D consistently, you must play as medic. You can abuse medpacks and hang around other medics that revive each other like crazy. If you play another class, you're just gonna have to deal with having a worse K/D, unless you're very effective, don't take any risks what so ever, or whore vehicles. Sniper is a good exception, if you can hit on a regular basis from long range.

Key thing is to have good aim and reflexes. Make sure you have a mouse sensitivity you like that doesn't hinder your movement. Second, good situational awareness, check your minimap and join a good squad that sticks together. Don't do suicide attacks.

But remember that if you worry about your K/D too much, you might be less helpful to your team.

Re: How do I stop.. sucking

Yes. And no. Definately the best way but not the only. My favorite way to dodge J10s is to out stunt them.

Very true, the one time I managed to pull off flying under the gas station on Oman in a ranked game made the mig behind me think I was just going to crash and flew over, pull up and im on his six :)

Improve K/D ratio?

What I did was, making boot camp in COOP mode in a local game. In Coop you can set up maps with e.g. 32 bots and train all not locked weapons, armor, and aicraft. Everything you mess up in here won't affect your career sheet in Online mode.

My first goal was to not get killed during a whole round. At first I only shot maybe 6-10 enenies. But gradually after improving my way to appraoch enemies and finding all kind of nice sweet spots and choke points with enough cover and getaways, my score got a lot better.

May give that a try.. sometimes though i'm just plain unlucky too. Reached 1 - 7 ratio in a round i'm playing at this very moment within about 5 minutes. Combination of spawning on top of an enemy tank or grenade and being shot in the head by those jump-roll-headshot retards.

Okay just finished that round.. with one of the highest tied death tallys out of all the players (12).

It's infuriating.

Re: How do I stop.. sucking

I hear some say that it's not about decision making and I respectfully disagree. IMO you are putting yourself in a lot of risky situations if you're dying so much. Take a different approach: act like that toon you're running around as is really you. You don't want to die, right? Well, act like that little dude shouldn't be allowed to die and protect him as best you can. With that in mind, play some more...

Re: How do I stop.. sucking

Another way to improve K/D is to stay away from the tougher terrain maps like Clean Sweep. Big open spaces, long distances with hardly any cover. Loads of airpower flying above it. Best be to play on Infantry Only maps for a while with kits like snipers and specials.

Re: How do I stop.. sucking

Are we talking about infantry or vehicles here?

If I was to give some generic advice I'd say watch some videos by good players and simply mimic them. If you say what you want to get better at I can give you a list of videos that will help...

I would like this list

Sniper

Infantry and a bit of solo chopper

These videos can't teach you aim and reflexes; you need to do that by playing. But what they can do is help teach you the general ideas of movement, tactics and "game-intelligence".

A round of wake - Sortof.

Very nice flying in a F-35. I usually use rearview to try and help me lose J10's but then all sense of direction goes out the window and i usually end up crashing. I may do some empty server practice flying.

Re: How do I stop.. sucking

Tiger shark is quite possibly the best BF2 infantry player I have seen in my life lol. Recoil is the way forward!!! You watch tigershark, his recoil control is almost perfect. After recoil is very good, work on movement.

Also heres a great tip, use crouch to stand up from prone. This will allow you to instantly stand up without any delay.

Thank you, that'll be my video :p

To be competent in jets you need to be comfortable using both the rear and fly-by view. As you'll see in one of the other videos I posted (Firefly by Irishpride), in the dogfighting sections he spends the majority of his time in fly-by.

It's a good idea to do some practise on your own. Start by staying in fly-by view and just flying around, play some games like getting as close to the camera as you can etc. You should pick up the feel for it pretty quickly.

If you haven't already, I suggest you get a joystick (Logitech 3D Pro is what most pilots use )

Re: How do I stop.. sucking

As stated, hang around with medics. And sometimes, be a medic yourself. As medic, whenever you think you're gonna be in a spot for more than a few seconds, toss a med kit on the ground right next to your feet. That way, if you take a hit, you'll be totally healed in a couple of seconds - and you'll usually have enough time to kill the guy that's shooting at you.

Also, make sure you have good controls and keyboard. A good gaming mouse really helps as well. The aim points are pretty precise in BF2, so you gotta have good aim.

Re: How do I stop.. sucking

I've just accepted the fact I cannot beat J10 pilots in a f-18 / f-35.

I don't even bother trying to take a USMC plane on a chinese map anymore.

No matter what I do I can't outmanoeuvre them..
