5. Vehicles have more than one seat.
Probably one of the more annoying things that players encounter while playing Battlefield 3 is one person hopping into a vehicle and leaving everyone behind to grudgingly sprint their way to the action, so be nice. At a match’s outset, if you’re driving, wait and see if people hop in with you. That extra person might be an Engineer who can help repair it or someone who will operate the turret.
The point is, don’t leave your teammates running all the way to the action when they can hop into a vehicle and be driven there. Having an extra person or two near the objective can make all the difference.
While these tips might seem self evident, they’re also serving as reminders and food for thought. Battlefield 3 can be an in-depth game with a lot going on, but the team experience can only be enjoyed if you act as a team player. Just remember, have fun.
Battlefield 3 is available now for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Point # 1 “This is not Call of Duty”.
THANK YOU!
I get so tired logging onto the battlefield and everyone on my team just running straight to the action and getting killed. BF3 is about teamwork. I usually don’t even log on anymore unless I’m doing a lan party with 3 of my friends. We play together towards the objective and usually come out on top. Thanks for the article.
is true, this is my tag: irixzone (PC and PS3), lets play like teamwork, Sometimes don’t know with who to play…
Teamwork and objective play is the best way to win. Kill to Death ratios mean nothing, score means everything. If you play for kills, you are going to play terrible, if you play for the objective; those kills come naturally along with it, because that is where everybody is going to be. Also learn to use what you have been give, such as defensive placed AT launchers and MGs, and main battle tanks. You are given everything you need to be successful, and in the end it all comes down to player skill and how well you coordinate and execute your objective as a team. I would know, 127 MVPs, even more within the top 3. You can come in first place with no kills easy. But don’t think getting kills is impossible, on certain maps, you rack up more than a game of Domination on MW3.
K/D ratio is NOT meaningless. It is simply one element among many that reflect the skill of a player.
I really wish people would quit conveniently discounting various aspects of the game.
A higher K/D with a good skill score shows a good player. If you’ve got a high skill score but a negative K/D… I can’t say that I’d want you in MY squad. You’re not much of an asset to the rest of us if you’re DEAD all of the time.
You might be good at blowing up tanks and getting plenty of points for it… But that doesn’t mean that you’re moving toward the objective or giving cover fire for me while =I= do.
A careful player who knows when to move and is able to tactically assess his situation is a much more valuable one. This includes setting up choke points to funnel enemies through and take them down. This often helps distract the enemy team while the rest of your team moves toward an objective. It also results in a better K/D if you can hold the position and take them down by the handful.
K/D is just as important as any other statistic in a player’s profile when it comes to reflecting skill. Don’t be so damn quick to dismiss it.
I’d have to disagree… I’d take that Engineer nailing those tanks over the guy that goes 30 and 5. Why? Because more than likely, that 30 and 5 guy literally runs around the MCOM waiting for enemies to come for kills instead of planting it. On the other hand, that Engineer cleared the road of an M1 and him and the rest of my squad rush up, arm that MCOM, and blow it up. Now, I’m not saying it’s bad to have a good K/D and get kills, but unless you’re on defense (maybe), just killing people and ignoring everything else pretty much kills the point of what Battlefield is supposed to be, especially if you’re a Medic who passes by his whole dead squad instead of reviving them, only using the class for the Med Kit.
You mean the same engineer who constantly uses rockets on infantry?
What about that guy going 30 and 5 DEFENDING the MCOM’s?
That wasn’t a very good example…
What about a guy who can manage to NOT get killed while moving on that MCOM to arm it…all the while being aware enough of his surroundings that he’s able to take out the enemies advancing on him before they take him out?
Now THAT is a good soldier. Someone who can pay attention enough to the mission AND keep himself alive at the same time.
Not sure where you went with everything past, “On the other hand…” though. One would hope that an engineer destroys enemy armor and repairs friendlies. One would hope that a medic would heal others on the field. To me that’s just a given.
K/D will ALWAYS say something about one’s skill level. It’s not something that can simply be brushed aside and discounted.
Alright, I did worded that badly. I understand K/D can show that you’re a good shot, but obviously that guy with the second highest score on the board with barely 5-6 kills is doing something right. Yes, K/D can show you have a good skill, but what everyone is complaining about here is there will always be that guy that literally ignores the objectives and goes for kills, and I’m not talking about the one near the MCOM trying to defend it, I’m talking about the one running all around the map just not giving a thing for the MCOM.
Heh… Well…
Accuracy is what shows that you’re a good shot.
The guy with the second highest score on the board could be doing any number of things. Maybe taking advantage of the team’s inability to stay alive for more than a few seconds… He’s running around reviving them for points… But that doesn’t necessarily serve any purpose if NONE of them are going for the objective.
But you’re right. There’s that guy who is just there for the kills and doesn’t bother with the objectives. THERE…lays our problem.
This is the very reason why so many are suddenly discounting and discrediting K/D ratios as any measure of skill. (I suspect that a lot of it has to do with jealousy, too… LOL!)
Now we see the contrast here.
That’s my only problem with people counting K/D. If you’re going after the objective or defending it and get a good K/D a lot, hey, I’m all for it, the less the enemy touches the MCOM, the better, it’s just when people literally ignore everything for kills, that’s what bugs me. They did add a TDM after all lol (even though I only played it once and hated it, so not fitting for Battlefield in my opinion lol).
Agreed. TDM is CRAP. It shouldn’t be in BF. Ugh.
But I think we all share that frustration with that guy who is just there for the kills. Even I do.
Though I am a kill-a-saurus rex on occasion. But I chalk it up to ‘keeping the enemy occupied’ anyway most times. LOL!
Hey man, I saw this one game where this recon guy got a crap ton of spots- And managed to kill a good half-3/4 of them. That, and keeping the enemy busy, is when I don’t mind K/D lol
What about this, I am playing like medic, I revive you 3 times, in the 4th, I get killed, so, I have a negative K/D ratio, you dont want me in your team?
If you’re that obsessed about it, go play Call of Duty like every other trigger finger jerk out there. Battlefield = teamwork. K/D ratio is just a measurement.
I don’t know about you…
…but my trigger finger gets plenty of action in Battlefield 3.
Please point out to me where I EVER said that Battlefield wasn’t about teamwork.
By saying, “K/D ratio is just a measurement.” you are proving my point. It IS a measurement.
That’s what I was saying the whole time. LOL!
What is your tag name?
Obviously a handful of you dick riders of dice fail to even play mw3 much. Saying there is no ”teamwork” aspect of the game is just being plain out narrow minded. Have you ever played domination, ctf, ect? Yea, some can get away with just running and gunning ofc. But you can’t say holding down two flags and controlling enemy spawn isn’t ”teamwork” I’ve been in plenty of pickup games with greens and its hard to cooridinate. Get me in with my clan, its easily done because of communication.
Sorry, just my two cents. I love how everyone who loves bf3 bashes mw3. I play both and play both. You can’t compare the two, both are made to have two totally different playouts. Both require teamwork bf3 more then mw3.
Are you done?
Hi thanks for the tips i found them really usefull
What’s K/D?…m a new user!…
