How can I become better?
I'm a relatively new Battlefield player. BF1 was my first Battlefield game and just got BFV. I have started to seriously play the multiplayer only recently but I'm not really enjoying it at the momen...

Welcome to Battlefield V
Wow, great recommendations by all. Some of these suggestions have already been made, however, they are a few of the things that helped me. If you believe the issue is with hit registration, then troubleshoot your connection. There might be some lag due to high latency or packet loss. Take a look at Troubleshooting your Battlefield V connection and check out the in-game tools.
A higher connection speed lowers your ping and a slow speed will give you high ping plus more lag. Check your ping bars. 0-20 ms is low ping, excellent, and what you want. 50 ms is very good, 100 ms is average, and 150+ is high ping and may get you kicked from a game or disconnected from the server. Play multiplayer, go to advanced search, pick a game mode and map, then view games. Try to pick a game with low ping.
You may be more successful playing with a squad and try switching between different modes. Breakthrough is fast-paced, Conquest is more slow-paced, and Grand Operations is played with several maps and modes over multiple in-game days. Maybe try playing on a bigger map at a slower rate. You could play Al Sundan which is a large map and the tempo is slow-moderate or Hamada which is very large and speed is moderate. You can also use an Extended Magazine Specialization on certain weapons for more ammunition and less reloading. Read the BFV Guide, play single-player War Stories, train in the Practice Range and most important, have fun! Good luck and I hope everyone’s suggestions help you to become the player you want to be.
Thanks for the tips everyone. I just recorded a video while playing. Weirdly enough this time I played much better than ever before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAPqNP8ZOYA&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR2X9t4qFAySEddsvLJaF2V-VnNavcPG5VNxCyDDnQzyk16HUrxp3NH-UhA
I actually got nearly 10 kills and died around the same amount. Could be that I ended up playing with people who have my skill level, or then my aim just improved. I don't really know lol. As for combined arms, it feels like that even at the hardest difficulty level the bots are still significantly easier to kill than most human players. Obviously the hardest difficulty in combined arms is a bit too hard for me to finish but I'm still able to mow down a dozen of npcs before I get killed myself.
- @AssassinoFinland As many have said here, practice honestly makes perfect. The worst thing you can do is focus on how well everyone is doing, especially if they're 100's of levels and 1,000's of hours in front of you. Focus on where you are today compared to yesterday and where you want to be tomorrow.
As @TTZ_Dipsy said (and made me blush with the pilot comment aww shucks) find your niche, something you enjoy playing. Don't pick a gun you see pop up constantly in the kill feed because you think it'll net you kills, use what you enjoy.
As @Moskolonel said, Solo (AKA warstories) can help you practice aiming against bots, set it to hardcore mode and just have some fun, the war stories are really fun and can get you some special unlock weapons for multiplayer and even an epic Tank skin.
Next bit of advice is 'Play with Others'. If you've got a few friends who play, squad up and keep good comms, if you're solo, run with the majority of your team and zerg from flag to flag. You might get taken out but you have a higher chance to be revived. Also this forum is filled with some of the best people in the community both in skill and helpfulness, be active here and you'll make plenty of friends to learn from and even squad up with.
Last tip is your control settings, watch some videos on Youtube about game settings and play around with them in the practice range until you find one where you feel comfortable.
Getting killed is rough and the lows can feel low but the beauty of this game is there's always another map, another battle and another day...you'll get better, so don't give up 🙂Yes @Real_Noobalishus Would be fun to play with a friend sometimes but unfortunately none of my friends play Battlefield. I have like only 1 friend on my Origin friend list and she doesn't even play Battlefield. I have plenty of friends on Steam but unfortunately they aren't Battlefield players either.
- @AssassinoFinland well here is your opportunity to meet so fellow PC gamers. Put your gamertag and region up and I'm sure some of the amazing people here on PC will add you 🙂
