Hi all,
I registered yesterday after lurking for a bit and just wanted to say "Hi" from Germany

I think this is the best BF2 site I ever came across! (one of the reasons I registered was, that I can finally voice my opinion on the site )

Now for the other stuff:

I came to notice that I suck..... big time. That is ok for me, because I have fun with the game even when I am pushing up the daisies more often than putting an enemy out of his misery.
But! It sucks for the team to have a bullet magnet like I am, since I am taking away more tickets than my share should be.

I realized that I am more of the supportive guy in a squad, I can heal, I can give out ammo, I can repair stuff that is needed. Nice Teamscore, yay! But when my Squad heads out into the thick of it I am the one who is biting the dust first most of the time.
Not nice when you are the medic and are supposed to keep your guys going.

I have been a Lone Wolf for a very long time at the beginning of the game. Ran around like a headless chicken, got popped here, got naded there, got artied over there again, run over on that spot, headshot right after spawn... well, you get the picture.

Finally I dared to join a squad unasked. It was so much fun and I managed to actually do more good than bad for the squad.

Then on one map I joined a squad and suddenly was Leader since the original one disconnected. I had no experience as what to do, but the guys I was in command of actually worked pretty well with me. I issued orders (we had a good commander, as far as I can say with my limited experience).
The guys followed me and we did some fine job on several flags.
The commander was good with the supply drops that I requested for my troops and he even ordered reinforcements to our positions when needed. What a blast that was!
Best.... Round.....Ever! (at least funwise )

Again here comes a "But!"
I still can't hit the broad side of a barn when I am standing before it with my nose touching it.
Ok, not that true, I managed to get my Kill/Death Ratio up a bit again. But still it is the way that I die more often than kill someone (at least my deaths don't are two digit figues anymore most of the time)

So, here I am, a Corporal who would like to get better. Someone who is eager to get some hints and tips on how to play better. I read many guides, but they didn't help me that much. I know I have to hit the enemy to kill him and that I have to aim for him and all that. That is what most guides say..... But it is more like telling me, what the dangerous side of the weapon is. I know that already (although the 4 suicides I have seem to speak a different language )

I am not whining that I suck, don't get me wrong. I have such a good time playing, it is very intense, it makes me smoke far too much with all the excitement, but I would like to hone my skills and get better.

I thought it would be a good idea to start out on non-ranked servers, so I can try and die without getting my stats down too much. Strangely enough I experienced very good teamplay there, lots of fun and I was actually doing pretty good (probably because many new players try their first steps on non-rankeds?).
Coming back to ranked servers put me back in my place pretty fast again though.
There seems to be less teamplay and nost of the people are just out there to get their points for a promotion.
Is that a normal experience or was I just lucky to find non-ranked with such a great gameplay experience?

Well, that was far more than I wanted to write in my first post
Thank you for reading this far. And "Thank you" again if you can provide me with some insights, tips or tricks how to improve? How long did it take for you guys to get an acceptable or better K/D Ratio?

Please remember that english is not my first language, so bear with me if some sentences seem odd to you

See ya,

spieken ze deutch? is that how you spell it? my roomate is in german class, and i'm pretty sure he's going to go for german as his major. i've got a friend in the national guard stationed somewhere over there, and my rommate and a few of my friends are going to go to germany over summer.

i started off on non-ranked servers. actually, i started off in single player. just played alot of elite until i felt confident to get online..then boom! the AI of the bots is nothing like playing against another person. i got owned for the first few times playing BF2. F.E.A.R. however, is bad ass at the AI, i was prepared to play muliplayer with other people just by playing single! damn, i can't stress how bad ass the AI is on that game.

but all i did, just keep playing online. infact, play for hours at a time. i don't remember myself actually "training" or doing anything to get better...just playing. you'll eventually find your rythym and the skill will set in. it's crazy how good a person can be at a game, i still get owned by the same people.

stay in squads, and work with them. do as they say and stick together! it's awesome to be playing assault or something and you've got a medic and support right there to resupply and heal. team players are the best players.

ah..another German.. welcome to the forums to b.schuss..are you keeping tabs?

well..you can try out this particular thread about being a primary contributor to the game..click here or click here but the second link has some flames in-between..

I was and still am in a similar situation as you are. I get killed with just one shot, but i take multiple shots to kill someone else. But, since I am a better tankie than a foot soldier, I spent a lot of time taking cover inside armour and just deal with the nasty Spec Ops, ATs, attack helis and jets (which is quite a lot). As someone  suggested, if one kit doesnt work for you, spawn with a different one. Vary your gameplay, vary your tactics. And as S4INTO5 pointed out, practice practice practice.

But, hey, we don't live in a perfect world and if everyone else plays the way the game was intended to be played, you won't find bitching in the forums (and it will become boring)

Enjoy the game, and enjoy the forums

Willkommen!

How long have your been playing Battlefield2 ?

when i first started i was pretty bad, but now i think that i am an all round average player. when i started off i couldnt kill that many people and then started to get annoyed at the game. but with playing the game more and more you will get better and learn the good ways of the force.

i feel that with what ever weapon you use, always switch the single shot as it will greatly improve your accuracy.

learn the good and bad points of each of the different kits.
for example:

Medic: the starting weapons are not that good, but if you learn to use them then you can learn to stay alive longer. take some shots at a guy, but if you feel you are about to die, then run round a corner and heal yourself before going back to fight. you will most likely kill the guy who you have just been shooting.

Spec Ops: good starting kit as the accuracy is higher on single shot than the other weapons (other than sniper rifle). you will be able to run further while sprinting with the spec ops so can get out of tricky situations faster than other kits.

Sniper: find a good place to hide, and you can get more kills in a round than you will die, so will get your K/D ratio higher. also use your claymore's wisely.

personally i didnt like using the other kits much when i first started as you are more likely to die. with the exception of the Assualy class, as you can kill more with the Granade launcher. but dont get into a bad habit of using the Granade launcher too much as people will start to hate you for it, and you will not become very skilled in combat.

as for my K/D ratio, it is almost at 1 now!! but your ratio will always start off badly, then as you play the game and get better, your ratio will get better.

hope to see you in a game sometime!

EDIT: watch out for the mayhem at the start of a round on the Karkand Map. Everyone will be running around shooting each other with the Granade Launcher. Do the smart thing and capture another flag (not the Hotel), this way the round will start to break up a bit and you can then pick off enemy soldiers rather than having loads of them shooting at you.

@Mike: no, I am not

Welcome to the forums, vonSteuben. I am an assigned german mod ( helper ), so if you feel you need help with anything around the site or the forums, feel free to approach me or post in the appropriate forums.
Also, I urge you to extensively use te search feature. When looking for answers to questions around the game, check out UBAR and the wiki. Links can be found in the top navigation.

i had a kill death ratio of 1:5 after 100 hours it is now +1.46 after nearly500hours all i can say is play and play and play.experience and smarts will make up for a lack of speed and skill(in my case not a flame).i have always found old age and treachery will overcome youth and enthusiasm lol.seriously 95 % of people sucked early and the only way to improve is to play.i found by exploring every map for hours that when i am in a hot situation i have many optionsof using the environment as an advantage.but hte best tip is to mix it up.if something doesnt work try something else and so on.after a while your old tactics will work once your skill level and experience increases.i am just now getting to be quite good with all kit weapons but still cant fly very well.good luck.p.s. the best thing to come out of germany is rammstein and beer.(i cant afford a german car lol)and hopefully the world cup can come outof germany and come to oz>(i know very wishful thinking but a man cxan hope}

From what i've read, u do pretty much the same as my brother-in-law. A mounth ago he passed the stage where he's able to walk without just birdwatching the place or inspecting the ground really really thoroughly. What he doesn't do is..... keeping his cool and looking around, try to notice whats happening. I keep telling him: prone, walk and watch.... even: listen, just listen.... notice where battle is ongoing. Most important tip I can give u as I gave my brother-in-law.... stop running around like some nitwit gitt.
I laugh my ass of when I see him doing it his way....running & looking around paranoia.... not noticing an enemy just a few feet away
When I'm infantry, I don't run blind corners, do not to cross open spaces whithout having a damn good look. Then choosing a kit thats suits you and suits the map and/or strategy you're playing is very important. Example: I just unlocked the DOA (love it m8 ) and that now gives my the closerange combat ability. But I don't choose that kit/wapon in maps that don't give me the closerange opportunity.

Time for u to kick (*) ....
Have fun

my room mate speaks german well and is obessed with the country, and at the same time in our apartment complex, we have been surrounded my russians. a whole family came over here because of America's more promosing economy.

they take up the apartment below, below and one over, next door, right across from us, across and one over, and a stretch of 3 downstairs. they've filled the place up. there are more russians in our complex than mexicans. and that's crazy to say, esecially here in west texas.

"Hi" From Serbia as well

Don't worry if you are not too happy with your play - you will get better there is no doubt. When I first joined BF2s I also thought I suck, but then I realized what makes me think I suck and improved it. For example my K/D Ratio was like very sucky (can see that from the graphs lol ) but over time I improved. Now I am working for improving W/L and SPM.

Regarding ribbons, medals and awards - I noticed that somehow, they come by themselves based on the way game develops. When I first started, I believed that 10 repair points per round is impossible. One day on Wake Island, an agressive Spec Ops opponent helped me get it. The same is for Ribbons... just play and enjoy. Hope to see you around on some servers

Thank you all for the warm welcome

There were some suggestions and questions I would like to reply to:

@mikeshw: Thanks for the Links, went through the first guide and was happy to find that this is what I mostly do in a Squad. Need to read thhrough the second thread later, but it looks interesting

@theDude5B: I have been playing for a bit over 28 hours on ranked servers so far. I bought BF2 in June but didn't have enough time to  play a lot (and mostly on non-ranked servers due to the fact that ranked were full at that time hehe)
I tried all the Kits, but so far I am mostly in a supportive position right now.
But I got the G3 now for my Assault Kit and think I will give it more tries now.

The onslaughter at the beginning of Karkand is something I try to avoid every time. Guess I have to work a little harder on that, since I often find myself rushing for the big battle at the first flag. I really have to get this thought of "Lots of enemies, might pick one or two off" out of my head

@B.Schuss: Hallo Well, I did read a lot of the stuff in the UBAR and WIKI section and a lot of threads. I guess I am just trying to get some reassurance that it is too early to give up hopes to become better and that I am not a lost case. That is why the personal experiences posted in the replies really lift my spirit

@pokerplaya: I know what you mean. I guess I am in the upper age rage of BF2 players (big "4" coming up in January ^^) and that my reactions and hand-eye-coordination are a bit slower than with most younger players. Guess I will have to train my wits instead of my mousehand a bit in the future hehe

@TsinTzU: I did this a lot as well, still do it occasionally. Running for the biggest fray on the map with my assault rifle looking left or ride, exhausting the sprint bar and when I finally am near the battle and try to catch my breath get popped by a sniper or something like that.
Now I try to slow down, crouch, crawl around obstacles and try to control the impulse to squeez the trigger until I am sure I can get a clean shot. But far too often I still behave like your brother-in-law.

@1234BGD: I realized that badges and ribbons just pop up when least expected. I got the Infantry Officer Ribbon as a surprise when I "accidently" became the Squadleader in the round I told about in my OP.
I tried hard to get the Medical Badge for hours, getting a wee bit frustrated that I wasn't able to manage the 5 heals in a round. I switched to Supporter for the Squad I was in and BAM! there was the resupply badge. Later in that round, when on defensive position I was medic and had totally forgotten about the badge because I was still happy I finally earned one.... Some minutes into Medic and there it was ^^

Like I said, *I* have fun with the game even without a good KDR, but I always fear that I spoil the fun for the other Squaddies with all the dying.

Well, time to call it a day at work now, drive home and install SF, which I bought during my lunch break

Oh, I forgot to tell put it in in my first post, so here is a link to my stats so that you know what I am talking abot

Same here. I used to be awful, but I just kept playing. Also, what unlock gun have you picked? Because if it's the G36C, you don't need to go to prone, it works just as well when you are crouching. You'll be popping 60+ scores per round in no time.

I promise you, von stueben, you will automatically increase your reaction and your hand-eye-coordination. You will learn where the enemy is and then you will see them, and shoot them.

Guides and that stuff aren't too helpful, you have to get all your experience yourself, thats the easiest and best way. Play on Karkand most times, but not always. Simply get more kills than deaths and when you notice that you 'own' a lil bit, then you can try harder things. For the beginning, you should not specialize on more than 2 or 3 different classes.

Herzlich Willkommen! Noch ein Deutscher mehr hier

Ahem...english.

After the first hours of playing(forgot how many, i guess ~50) my KD was about 0.3. After nearly 500 it's now at 2.4. Well, practise is the key
If you look at my small arms KDs(especially submachineguns, shotguns and carbines) you can see how crap i was when i started playing. I haven't used these weapons much since i got better so those stats indicate my skill level back then pretty good.

Another tip i can give you is to use vehicles as often as you can get them. I got better by mastering vehicles such as armor, transport and choppers. If you use them in the right way(you will quickly find out how) you can raise your KD with ease and - the most important thing - it's real fun!

That's all i can think of for now, good luck and see ya on the battlefield

Impressed by your attitude m8, we all go through this learning curve, took a long time for me to get OK, but you are already starting to think about what you are doing and trying to work out strategies to improve. You'll do fine.
my tip, learn to play steadily, by that i mean dont go rushing forward all the time, steady yourself, stand or go prone and aim, and if you are playing in squads, hang back sometimes, cover your teammates. it will happen imperceptibly, but you will gat better.

(And get used to using everything on the battlefield when its needed, fixed machineguns, tows, AA, and transport etc- the jeeps and HMMMVs have great machine-guns on them).

Hi from the tiny island of Singapore! (Any Singapore-based players around???)

Interesting to see that you've got all the medic, air defense badges.. Still waiting for mine! lol ...

Vehicles are definitely the way to go.. If you look at my stats, I have been on vehicles quite a bit, but not planes or choppers... perhaps its time to learn how to fly... and commanding too!

Oh, and a little advice.. join (or lead) a squad... its fun to see mates around you capturing flags or just running away from tanks! lol...

First off, welcome to the forums!

I would pretty much just follow the advice several others have said: Practice.

Personally, I played AT first, and once I got used to this kit, I switched around to other kits. I hardly play AT anymore, but for me it was a good kit to start with and it helped me lock in the understanding of how to play before I moved on to other kits. Not saying that you should start with AT, just I would say choose one of the kits you like and then stick with it until you think you've got it locked in enough to started playing around with other kits. And I would play BF2 a bit more before you start on SF, because SF will just add confusion.

Also, just wanted to say you've got a great additude.

I am sorry to revive this thread (hey, I am medic often and have a revive score of 59 while writing, so it is a habit I guess )

I took all the advice to heart and started out on some maps with more infantry fights, so that I could learn to shoot straight.

On Karkand I used a tank as engineer and headed up towards "Slaughterhouse Alley" as I like to call the spot before the hotel flag.
I moved in slowly after the advancing infantry and tried to provide covering fire with the machine gun. I managed to take out some enemies when they tried to run up the stairs to recap the flag we just neutralized.
Moved forward again in a slow pace and took out a Vodnik firing away at our infantry.
Moving further towards the Plaza I stopped and repaired damage I had taken from an AT guy. No one hijacked my tank during that time, infantry ran past me towards the Flag left of the Plaza.
Then armour was spotted and I jumped back into the tank and moved forward, so that he just appeared out of the fog. I was able to take the tank out, the infantry capped the flag and we rolled on.
I always kept behind the Infantry, they covered me from AT-Guys and I provided covering fire and took out vehicles, APCs and armour.
Never actually arrived at a flag early enough to capture it. Soon several infantry adepted to my tactics and we where a good team (although I was not in their squad).

Then someone from OUR side seemed to have a problem with me being alive for 20 minutes in the tank already (yes, I got my Badge in the first tank ) and told me that I was a "tank whore" just shooting at spawns and not capping them.
Took quite a bit out of my enthusiasm at the moment but several other players jumped in to my assistance and they said I did a good job giving them the opportunity to capture flags with my cover.
So, was I a tank whore because I provided cover while they captured the flags? Or did I use the tank in a wrong way? I thought it was a good thing not to rush in on a flag, blast two or three MEC to smithereens and then get blown out of the tank by AT-soldiers or TOW-emplacements.
Except for the one guy telling me I am a TW only one other voiced his disagreement with my tactics, the others seemed to be fine with it.

Hmm, now I wonder why I am telling this story... Maybe to get some more opinions on it, I don't really want to be someone who is know to spawnrape, spawncamp or whore for stats. So if my tactics would fall under this description I would reconsider and try to adept.

Oh and now I am Sergeant, getting 2 unlocks (one for SF) and I am not sure, what to unlock with them.
I really like the G3, so I am not sure if I should get the F2000.
Since I don't really like the L85A1 I am wondering if I should get the G36. Or should I go for the PKM and the MG36?
Most played kit is Assaulter so far with a bit more than 15 1/2 hours, next would be the AT-Kit with 13:30 hours, although I don't manage to hit much with the MP5. Medic is third with 12:17 hours and the G36E probably would be better than the L85A1, but not sure about it.
Fourth is Engineer, but I always think he is the one to stay out of the big firefights and wave his magic wrench at damaged equipment, so I think I will stay with the standard weapons here

I played Supporter for almost 5:45 hours so far, but really have problems with the LMG there.
The PKM probably would help me with that, right? Or the MG36?

I guess it will take me quite some time to get the next unlocks, so I really really do not want to waste them for something stupid

Sorry for this long post, but I can't cut it short once I get going hehe

Not sure if the stats show an experienced player what weapon would suit my style best, but here is the link to my stats again: http://bf2s.com/player/vonsteuben/

And thanks to all of you who replied so far, your advice helped me get my K/D Ratio from 0.45 to 0.66

Ja,Deutsche gibbet hier wie Sand am Meer,sogar noch andere aus Essen,man muss nur mal genauer hingucken.

The problem with my K/D-ratio at the beginning was that I used to play Sniper Elite before I bought BF2.
There you have all aspects of sniping in singleplayer,like wind,gravity,heartbeat,etc.,so I was used to very precise shooting,I knew how many mildots I had to pull the gun up to compensate bulletdrop at every hot spot I used.Then comes BF2,with a completely different approach to sniping and a lot of other classes which are more powerful than the sniper.

I still have a positive ratio with the sniperkit and rifle but nowadays I mostly play medic,this role seems to fit perfectly to my playing style and my K/D-ratio in each round stays positive,so it's just a matter of time to get a global positive K/D-ratio.
A lot comes with experience,I used to laugh at supporters or medics who try to fight off an APC which just entered their flagpoint instead of retreating,run for cover or find an antitanker to heal or support.But when I remember my first hours of play,I used to be the same kind of idiot.

You are just being a useful member of your team, and yes there will be opinionated a-holes out there who thinks his way is the right way of gaming. Imho, tanks are tactical vehicles, and they work best with squads approaching a CP. Your play method is not anymore different than mine (I tank whore too), and tactically that is what I would do most times, to provide covering fire, and if my teammate is on the floor capturing the flag I would shield him with my tank.

And yes, the times when I die a lot in a tank is when I decided I wanna be Rambo trying to capture a flag all by myself. I was some AT and Spec-Ops guys' statistics when I kept doing that instead of going in with a squad or getting help. Some of my better rounds were played as a Squad Lead driving the team's armored SUV with a team of players who were AT and Support (I was medic). We just went from flag to flag, and I provide cover while they were out at the flag.

Hmm, now I wonder why I am telling this story... Maybe to get some more opinions on it, I don't really want to be someone who is know to spawnrape, spawncamp or whore for stats. So if my tactics would fall under this description I would reconsider and try to adept.
Imho, I don't think so, unless you are camping outside a CP that cannot be captured. Then, you "may" fall under the above categories although I have seen the entire team I was on head to the PLA camp on Dalian Plant once all the other CPs were captured. I guess that made the entire team spawn rapers/base campers etc etc.


Since I don't really like the L85A1 I am wondering if I should get the G36. Or should I go for the PKM and the MG36?
Most played kit is Assaulter so far with a bit more than 15 1/2 hours, next would be the AT-Kit with 13:30 hours, although I don't manage to hit much with the MP5. Medic is third with 12:17 hours and the G36E probably would be better than the L85A1, but not sure about it.
There are a few threads in the forums on the Medic weapon unlocks or you can check BF2S wiki. I unlocked both, and personally preferred the G36E over the L85A1 for some unexplained reason (maybe because I like the G36C when I first unlocked it).

Fourth is Engineer, but I always think he is the one to stay out of the big firefights and wave his magic wrench at damaged equipment, so I think I will stay with the standard weapons here
Same here, as I did not unlock the upgrade. Imo Engineers really should focus on repair, or driving the vehicle (regardless of vehicle type), or mine strategic routes.

I played Supporter for almost 5:45 hours so far, but really have problems with the LMG there.
The PKM probably would help me with that, right? Or the MG36?

Not sure if the stats show an experienced player what weapon would suit my style best, but here is the link to my stats again: http://bf2s.com/player/vonsteuben/
Honestly, you need to make the call on this one (you have to live with it, not us). The advice I have been seeing in the forums is to go with the unlock for the kit you'd used the most or potentially will be using. The basic Support MG is not as good as good as the PKM, imho. And I liked the PKM when I first unlocked it, with my scores for the mg improving then.

And thanks to all of you who replied so far, your advice helped me get my K/D Ratio from 0.45 to 0.66
Keep it up

And as Dirty Harry once said, opinions are like an asshole. Everyone has one.

Dont worry about this guy, you where playing it exactly right, he just wanted the tank for himself. Tanks and infantry work best when they work together, and i often try to cover my teammates when they go for a flag. Lots of people just rush up to flags to get the points, but that can leave you all vulnerable. Youll get a sense of what is fair/unfair by what people do to you, and youll think 'I dont want to be like that guy'
For an unlock I would go for the DAO for your AT kit, its very effective and great fun to shoot, and a big step-up from the default weapon.
