Like Metro and Locker, they are more linear and you rank up faster because the action is so up close and personal. On the larger maps you'll spend half your time trying to reach a flag to only end up being shot halfway there and they are so large it's not hard to get lost (in a sense). But stick with it, it's like golf, you play 18 holes and think why the hell I am out here until you hit that one shot and it brings all that excitement back. Below is what i was mentioning before, I came in 2nd on my team with only 4 kills but I had 42 revives and I not sure how many heals, but it doesn't always have to be about the kills.

Well I am not debating which is better, but he clearing is/was struggling with his performance which is possibly driving him to not wanting to play; prompting the thread here, which may or may not constitute the possibility of him trying a different avenue, i.e. Non-hardcore which may or may not make for a more enjoyable experience especially to someone just beginning his adventure into BF4.

Hit markers and 3d spotting will definitely help him with that, since every gun has a different bullet velocity, you need to learn how far you should lead with each. The Flush 1

Once you get comfortable with gameplay, etc. then you will be able to go on any server. I don't have COD4 installed any longer but have always wondered what it would be like to go back and play again...my guess is that with all of the headshot and better aiming needed in BF, I'd be accused of hacking pretty quickly but I guess you never know. Anyone try playing COD4 to see what it's like after playing BF for so long?

Anyone try playing COD4 to see what it's like after playing BF for so long? I can tell you what it is like to go and play Cod5 after i play BF4, it would take me about 2 or 3 maps to get used to different speed (you run much faster in Cod5, not realistic) i would keep running into walls and debris, but after that i played normally, my Cod5 stats are better then my BF4 stats, in Gametracker at least. The Battlepack thing is one of the things Mot has trouble with, i think he did say in his original post and i know from playing with him in game, he says he never gets any boosts in his Battlepacks, whereas the rest of us usually get at least a 25%, he also had a problem when he first started playing where he never had any DMR's to choose from, i am sure we all get at least 1 weapon of every class when we start the game, he had this problem for a few weeks we were all telling him to try a DMR but he never had any to choose from, just another strange thing to happen in this game. Sorry but it makes me laugh when the only solution some can come up with is come and play Softcore, why would that be easier to kill someone when it takes approx double the bullets to put someone down, also he told us yesterday he played softcore and he still struggled.

Contrary to popular belief, DMR's, Carbines, and Shotguns are not class locked and therefore must be unlocked through an achievement, usually playing with a certain class long enough. I believe it is DMR- use sniper rifles carbine- engineer class shotguns- support class Also I never said it was easier to kill someone in normal, in fact it is harder, which also means he should live slightly longer. normal does in fact help with learning your weapons base spread, bullet speed, and range with the help of hit markers. Without hit markers I would never know how far I need to lead with each weapon or how long I can go full auto without destroying my accuracy through bullet spread, or whether I can effectively hip fire with a certain weapon at a certain range, or even determine what a weapons effective range is through bullet drop and spread. To summarize without hit markers I would never have learned how to consistently get 20+% accuracy with an m240b. Once you learn the gun you can go into any server and be accurate with it, hit markers or not. I am not really arguing HC vs normal, instead I am arguing hit markers and 3dspotting to learn vs no hit markers and 3dspotting.

One shot, one kill is a lot easier to get kills with but you die easier too. Any decent BF4 player should have relatively the same scores on hardcore or softcore, strategy just changes. Of course, some people just want to whine about the other game type because they can't play it. Edited November 6, 2014 by The Flush OddJob001, Barron and Fir3Marshal 3
