No point trying to be tactical
Anyone else fed up with how easy it is to be spotted in this game now? You don't have to look for enemies anymore, they are just highlighted with a massive RED dot above them. How are we supposed to ...

I kind of agree with @JOGAGATYA. People are far too focused on K/D in this game where the guns aren't balanced and NOTHING is fair. If you know who Enders is (I know EA does lol) he claims that if you have a negative K/D you should quote, "uninstall." The failed logic here is that in order for people to have a high k/d, others need to have a low k/d. If you are a noob, focusing on k/d leads to camping and sniping, two practices that degrade the experience for other players significantly. If you are decent, you understand how the game is played, but your k/d is still low, you end up depressed and crying (like me). I feel like people have lost the goal of the game. Unless you are playing TDM, kills really shouldn't matter - that's why I hate that they are included in conquest scores. Its war. People die. You know what an actual challenge would be? teamwork. determination. problem solving skills. Things kills don't always show in this game.
It doesn't help that 2042 has so many problems including:
Terribly balanced infantry weapons, Specialists out of which only 2 are useful, A class system implemented in a manner that provides no incentive to help your team (by fighting vehicles or passing out ammo/meds), Terrible Air Vehicle controls, Terrible air vehicle balance, terrible ground vehicle balance, Significant input delay, slow server connections, lag, terrible hitreg, maps with not enough cover, objective zones that allow teams to flank all the way behind other teams' back, lack of weapon variety, terrible gunplay, annoying specialists, bad graphics, and many others.
Personally I would be hard pressed to find many times where I think "Wow... that was a good game" to myself after a match. It's mostly, "Ughhhh why the heck did half of my hits get lost...". Anyways - 2042 (and partially because of streamers - but its not entirely their fault) has fostered an atmosphere similar to say, CS:GO or tarkov. Thats not battlefield. Battlefield should be a kind of "beer with the boys" game, not a sweaty competition where you end up just glad it is over.
"If you know who Enders is (I know EA does lol) he claims that if you have a negative K/D you should quote, "uninstall.""
Enders is a tool. I don't see how
someone can spend so much time
doing something and still be so negative and toxic about it. He needs to get out more.
@Pompey_1983Being over the top is part of what people who have to put up a show to entertain others do.
The thing that the pro youtubers out there are damn right about is how much this game is about positioning more than being great at shooting.

He is a streamer who farms kills. His stream would be very boring if he was just capping points, reviving, and resupplying.
That is the problem with this game, it has an identity crisis. All they want are the battlefield moments and viral clips, but that is not how 99% of normal players play the game.Also, who cares about KD in this game? It is not hard to play on the edges and consistently have a KD over 10, or just hop in a vehicle or aircraft and farm kills all day.
Just a quick look at his stats, he has 929 captured objectives. In less time played, I have 10,029. That is all you need to know about how he plays.
Also, in regards to the topic. It is really hard with all the ways to be spotted. I don't mind the minimap spotting, but 3D spotting should only be for proximity or your squad, not the entire enemy team.
I really have no idea who Enders is but after reading his comment I am glad I don't have to. K/D is not everything, I want to play the way I like to relax not to be a sweaty mouth breather.
I paid for the game; I will play it the way I like!
@AdamonicTo be fair, Enders is a killing machine (mostly as infantry) and very very good at playing BF. He is doing more for his team than the average BF-player, just by killing so many enemies (and he kills a lot).
If you can kill 50+ enemies in every game you play (often lots more in BT), with a KD at 5+, then you are doing a lot for your team and way more than people helping capping flags with a KD of 0.5.
And he has been very vocal in getting bugs fixed in the game regarding recoil, bad mouse-input etc. He also showed how to abuse Hind/Condor which was probably part of the reasons for the nerfs of these vehicles.
He is one of the few "good" youtuber-guys, many youtubers are not very critical of Dice, and he really flames Dice a lot regarding all the bad decisions in 2042.

I was talking more about playstyle. Most of the vids I have seen of him are him shredding unsuspecting noobs from behind (like most streamers) and the minute he dies, he ALT-F4s.
There is always a debate about kills vs OBJs. The game is centered around the objectives, and even if you clean house, you still need others to cap the flags. So both tactics are needed, but kills+OBJs is king IMO. In Conquest, you can have 100 kills and no deaths and lose if you don't cap any flags. On Breakthrough, the only team that has tickets is the attackers, so unless he is playing defense on Breakthrough (never does) or TDM, K:D has a lot less value.
I agree with his assessment of the game and glad he puts out the videos showing the shortcomings.
