BF2S Forums Becoming a better player

if ur concerned more about ur k/d ratio just go whore in some armour until ur happy with it and go back to ground pounding

It takes a while, but if you have the time and commitment it will happen.

I don't want to do it by sitting in armour, infact, i hate armour. It's slow and big. Booring.

if you dont like armour why not try play alot with the support kit in karkand its pretty easy to get like 30 kills with under 10 deaths per round with the new and improved PKM

I do haha.

since the patch came out I'm yet to get below 30 kills on sharqi using the pkm only.

It is good to have achieveable goals for which to strive - regardless of what the endeavor is. 

Here are some things I've done to help me out.  I've had to do a serious evaluation of what I like and don't like as a player in order to come to some conclusions.

1.  I don't like flying, so I stay away from maps that allow air-power to dominate.  Specifically, I have troubles with Oman, Daqing Oilfields, Kubra Dam, and to a lesser extent, Wake, Dragon Valley, and Fu She Pass.

2.  Be honest about the kits - Medic and Support WILL generate more points for you in all likelihood.  I may be better at firefights with assault, but the revives and heals of the medic will help my overall score.  Support is great for CQC, and you get all those resupply points.  You aren't whoring - you're just maximizing a kit's abilities.  In short, Medic is that kit that helps SPM the most for me.  Support is the kit that helps my k/d the most (unless I'm in armor).

3.  Squad up when possible.  Move as a team from flag to flag.  You can really rack up the points on Karkand, Sharqi, Warlord, Mashtuur, and Ghost Town by doing this.  Leviathan and Devil's perch are other cherry maps for this along with Nightflight.

4.  Be smart.  If someone is spawn raping at the Hotel at Karkand, for heaven's sake, DON'T spawn there!  Look at the map and see where your teammates are.  Spawn there and help them.  Or, be nasty and spawn at the square as SF or Anti-Tank and go pwn the spawn raper.

5.  Hardware.  Get a good vid card and turn your settings down low.  Less likelihood of lag and stuff will help you out big time.  Other than the vid card, a GOOD gaming mouse is essential.  Something like the Logitech MX-518 or the Razer Diamondback.  The on-the-fly dpi control and polling speed really help, IMHO.  Think really hard about how your keys are mapped for the game.  You don't have to stick with the defaults.  I bought something that I can map for the various kits I like to play.  I think it helps out a lot.

6.  If you die, and you notice the commander's assets are "yellow," then spawn as an engineer, get in a vehicle, and go fix 'em.  Nothing is worse than a commander having to drop a box to fix something that you can fix in a few secs.

Just some ideas I wanted to share.  I'm not very good at this game, but if you check my stats, you can see that I've improved a little bit over the past few weeks.  Good luck.  If a doofus like me can do it, you can too.

The only thing I can suggest to keep improving on your SPM, K/D and W/L is to use vehicles a lot. I know for one that my K/D and W/L would be a lot lower if not for all the time I spent in planes. It's just too damn easy to get killed on foot, and too hard to influence the course of a round. In a jet however, I can go 60-0 and single handedly win the round for my team.

I Was exactly the same with my k:d, but ive been armor whoring big time on Karkand. Have not been on foot there for about 3 weeks.

The difference in k:d was 1200 or so, its now at 600 or so.

Not only that but ive been trying to get my good conduct medal, but wankers keep running in front of my tank and I end up running over them.

my main and really only 3 targets are
1. get First Sergeant before July
2.get my basic aviator (im rubish and dont have a joystick)
3. i swear i just had a third and it was something to do with teamwork and after getting gunnery sergeant (20 points away) im going to focus on teamwork and helping my team or something like that

Bieleve me u can do it go check out my stats, in december i had a .70 K/D, 1.4 spm and a shitty WLR. Now only a couple months later i got a 1.11 k/d, 2.1 spm and 1.09 WLR

Edit- Vehicles are proballey the best way to get your KD back but what worked for me was playing alot of SF with my trusted sniper/specops kit. I used to go 25-1 using the sniper rifle on ghosttown a couple times a day
