f***ing DICE cant you fix the game without breaking it more...Its still an awesome game though.
Play the objective, stick with and support your squad mates, be aware of your surroundings and what's going on. Pay attention to the minimap also. KD doesn't matter. W/L and score per minute are key.
I only really saw about two of those as questionable, man. I mean some of the time they were using DMR's against you up close that you can shoot really fast. That SVD kills in three hits up close. Most of the time you were using LMG field upgrades that you only had the first field upgrade on at the time. You also have to consider they might have on Defensive or the like which has Cover/10% extra chest damage allowed. The LMG's have less Suppression in this game than BF3 unless you have the Suppression on & it's earned in the match. You're also side-stepping a lot. These LMG's are HORRIBLE for side-stepping. The bullets deviate a TON with LMG's in BF4 if you start side-stepping L/R. These LMG's were really made for bipods. A couple of them are manageable, but you're going to have to tame that recoil or stand still more while you shoot. It's hard to "untrain" yourself from L/R side-stepping after years of playing Halo & Call of Duty, but that's just how this game goes.
Move cover to cover keep scanning the area, look don't glance, Cover is your friend in this game. The game is mainly about angles so position your self so that you have a wide view whilst only showing a very small portion of your self, there are multiple paths to use in this game so always position your self accordingly, Use the lean feature it's useful. Don't camp in obvious spots. I guess your playing normal? use the minimap if skull and cross bones appearing near you and no red marker then it's a enemy with a suppressed gun.
Recon can be extremely effect, no! I'm not talking camping at the edge of the map with a sniper rifle. Use your PLD to laze targets on the ground for engineers, spot spot spot. spotting is something very few people do but it's one of the most effect tools you can give your team, lay down an TUGS near the objective and listen for the beeps even if there is no marker on the map but your TUGS is beeping then an enemy is nearby.
Squad up! Stick with your squad, If you can get a squad that communicate then you can dominate, keep chucking out med packs and resing, if your playing support lay down suppression fire keeping an enemy suppressed can turn the tide, if your an engineer repair your fellow tanks keeping amour going is very important if you're a gunner in a tank and come into battle hop out of the tank fire a rocket and then start repairing. If you squad leader tell your squad which objective to attack\defend by using the command(spot) button, you reap in more points and unlock your squad perks.
Burst fire your gun is just done by releasing the trigger after a few shots it increases your accuracy and you can mow down more enemy's in one clip then just spaying.
If you playing normal try hardcore. I play HC all the time whilst many will say it's easy mode but it isn't... no minimap, no orange triangles above your head (the most annoying thing about normal IMO), no health regen forcing to you work as a team and you reap more points by healing\repairing more.
Adept your loadouts to the battle, I'm always changing my loadout to suit the battle sometimes you don't need a repair tool but the enemy has a tank, use land mines instead.
KDR is pointless stat IMO I have an crap KDR but I'm always mid to high on the score broad..Why? Because I play the objective, give orders, help my team out by repairing amour, spotting and playing aggressively. If your going by stats use the SPM its much better IMO.
I hope that helps.
Good place to start here, the syndicate project on BF3 was very useful to me.
Edit:
Another good tip for dealing with amour is shoot them in the back, its the weakest point on any vehicle. One shot immobilizes the vehicle second shot will destroy it even if an engineer is repairing it.
Try disabling kinect. Increase your sensitivity it will feel fast at first but after a couple of hours you will get use to it, and probably start improving.
Don't tie your self to one class use a variety, look at your squad are using and try to pick one that will help them\you the most. Assault is the best class IMO but the rest are very good. Try being an engineer next time. Its a pain to start off, the first gun feels like your shooting marshmallows lol. By using different classes you rank them up and the guns so you can use a mixture of them in different classes.
I've found a server that doesn't allow sniper\dmr and it's bliss.
When aiming it depends on the situation if I have time to aim it head\upper body always otherwise just dump your reticule on them and keep it there. If your in Very CQB spray and pray baby!
Yeh, DICE have never being good at balancing the shotguns, there's always one that acts like a sniper rifle or fires mini rockets(USAS 12 in BF3).
On floodzone I've setup shop on a balcony with an LMG and just laid down suppression fire across the firetops haha
Also the correct attachments make a world of difference. My favorite lmgs so far would be the m249. It's high rate of fire and 200 round capacitty makes it a great run and gun weapon or a good holding a choke point weapon. I ran stubby grip and muzzle break for my attachments. Made it shoot like a lazr.
