Its get a better Battlefield experience rant, so please read the whole text before you start complaining!

/rant on!

1. BUGS AND GAME CRASHES!
Yes, Battlefield 4 has at the moment way to many game breaking bugs!!!
No one is arguing with that fact, everyone agrees that BF4 is buggy game atm!

But please stop complaining (whining, ranting, rant looping) about it all the time! As its annoying, unconstuctive and dosen't fix the game itself or your setup!

As some crashing are due to your PC and GAME setup (Settings, OS, Drives, 3.Party Software Installed, etc)
Please check out this link if your game is crashing way to much or is performing poorly:

2. THIS IS BATTLEFIELD!
This game is Battlefield, which mean it's NOT Call of Duty (CoD) or Counter Strike (CS) infantry "only" gameplay!

Yes, I know some vehicles are way OP (Over Powered) and unbalanced!
But as a squad/team there is no problem taking down vehicles 99% of the time!
And there is usually no problem taking down a vehicles by yourself either, if you actually take the time to learn and know the weak spots of the vehicles!

If you want INF. Only gamplay, I suggest playing DEFUSE!
Also there are other game modes with reduced vehicle count, like Obliteration, Rush, Squad Team Death Match and Team Death Match.

And remind yourself that you're NOT a good BF player right out of the gate.
It's a new game with different balance, weapon setups and recoil patterns! It actually takes some time to become good at Battlefield!

For most players it takes atleast 30h+ gamplay before they have the BASICS nailed down.


3. PLAY THE FUCKING OBJECTIVE (PTFO)!
PTFO gameplay can be archived by the following these simple and mindblowing steps that we all are too familiar with, but we actually don't follow them!

And always remeber to SQUAD UP!

3.1 SPOT
Spotting enemy players or vehicles is the most important thing of all, as this both helps your whole team and squad.

Press Q to spot, its really not that hard!
Press Q once or twice, do NOT spam Q as spotting has a cooldown and maks you unable to spot.

3.2 OBJECTIVE
As a squad leader one of your most important tasks is actually setting an objective and making sure your whole squad is moving over there to take the objective.
All squad members should help to take the set objective, its important that your squad stay close so that you're able to support each other.

3.3 COMMUNICATE
If you're on TeamSpeak or other VOIP with your squad/team!
It's very important that you communiucate with them!

There is no need to talk much on TS/VOIP, but inform others about the important things like enemy location (direction, area and number), enemy down, Im down, enemy down or still alive at location! etc.

Dead airtime can be filled with good humor and stories, eg. get to know your team mates!

3.4 ADAPTIVE GAMPLAY AND TAKING OUT VEHICELS
Be adaptive with what class (assult, engineer, support, recon) and setup/loadout you choose as it can be a matter of life and death for your squad and team!

Instead of complaining about getting killed over and over again by the vehicles etc, you should deploy (spawn) as an engineer or an other needed class with proper loadout to take out the vehicles!

Choosing the right class and loadout at deploy (spawn) will help you die much less and prevent your squad/team getting their asses handed to them!

IMPORTANT! Always remember to pick up vehicles from spawn and on the battlefield, so you can support your squad/team with devestating effect!

3.5 "NO" NEED FOR LONEWOLFS
There is really "no" need for lonewolfs in Battlefield as this game is about team play!

Always stay with your squad and keep them posted as this will benefit the team, squad and yourself the most.

NOTE! Your lonewolfing is most likely the #1 source of your fustrations of getting killed all the time and your bad K/D!

3.6 POSITIONING
If your playing with a long range loadout or vehicel, set up shop in a good position near you squad and move with them so you can support them at the actual objective your squad / team is taking.

This means no camping way back in uncap (base) or other lame positions, as this does not help your squad or team at all!

3.7 CHOOSING CLASS/LOADOUT
When choosing a class and loadout to play with make sure its one that will help out your squad, team and yourself!

Selection of class and loadout heavily depends on personal play style and current situation.

The situation is dependent on, but not limited to map, number of players (server size), number of vehicels and what your squad need right there and then to reach the objective and take out the enemy team.

Examples will follow at a later date.

3.8 FINAL WORDS

And Yes I somtimes complain like an idiot too when I get killed due to bugs, KIA, poor hit detection, getting my ass handed to on the Battlefield etc!

But most often I rant due to lack of PTFO and teamplay!

/rant off
