BF2S Forums Tips on how to raise Kill:Death Ratio

Tank Whoring,base rape bombing or commanding seems to be how most people do it.Staying with your squad is a good idea also.Don't feel bad mines not to hot either.

once 'gain, it was much easier before 1.03, where arty hits counted. even if you don't get the points, you get the kills.

another thing, fly a chopper. the only times you'll probably die in a chopper is because of another enemy chopper, or a clumsy crash into trees. planes rarely have enough time to shoot you after your CM's are out, and stingers are subject to a TV missile every time they lock on.

i found my ratio got better once i stopped caring what my kills/deaths were and merely focused on getting the squad coordinated and towards capping points.  mine isn't that hot either, but it got better when i stopped caring how many kills i had.  dunno if that would help.  remember, having a good ratio doesn't necessarily mean anything anyway, one of my roommates who always plays with me and ALWAYS assists me in things tends to die a lot more, but it doesn't make him any less valuable...in fact i'd have to contribute a lot of my success to him.  ok, i think i rambled on enough.  more or less don't worry bout it.

wats mine, just posting to look at sig coz im lazy

EDIT: there we go 1.3 and it hasnt updates so should be 1.31+

If you ever find yourself on Wake or something and China has 1 - 2 flags left you and a mate who you can talk to over the mic HAVE TO jump in a black hawk get on the MG circle the flag and let rip. We did this several times on the "beach" flag switching places and getting between 7 and 11 kills before we where shot down, I suppose some people say it could amount to spawn raping but then again most ways of gettin good k/d ratio annoy people like some of the above.

mine arnt very hot so yeah dont laugh

I got mine up through helicopters.  Granted, I know the pilot very well (we were in a clan together as helo pilot/gunner), so gunning for him was awesome, that and the fact I am a very good gunner (not giving myself a big head, just a little plug lol).  It also helped that we were on our clan ranked server most of the time and could have easier access to the helos.

My advice is simple:  Forget it.  If players are judging you based on K/D ratio, screw them.  Pick something you are good at and enjoy, and play it.  I did very well my first few months of playing as a medic - I had countless people tell me that I was good and played my "position" as a medic well, and I would go through many rounds dying 10-15 times and getting maybe 5 kills, but healing/reviving many, many teammates, and end up second or third with alot of points from these.  Trust me - play with smart people, and screw the rest, and you will be appreciated.  Recently, I have begun to take on sniping as a new hobby (having pretty much gotten my fill of medic and Anti-tank lately), and I have been doing very well with that, too.

Not to sound cliche, but I have been doing what I enjoy doing and I have been playing well with it.  Don't stress - just enjoy the game.

For all the good that the stat tracking is doing and however cool it is, once in a while I miss the good ol' BF1942 days where each round was anew and players played to play, not to bring up their stats.

be a sniper if your good at it i mean. quick kills and sort of hard to notic where its coming from.

i like my ratio

Die less and kill more.  Snipers are useless.

DEFEND FLAGS!!!!! I started out with a k/d ratio of .24.It has gradually increased and now its an 1.15.Lace flags with c4 and hide.It doesnt work for all flags so choose your location wisely.I'm usually the only one left defending but i can get 3-6 kills per death if i can take out an apc and a jeep full of enemies.Also get into a tank or an apc whenever you can find one about.It's silly not to use armour because someone bitches about tank whoring or whatever.You dont like it go play on a 24/7 karkand no tank/apc server and stop your crying.Also learning to fly an attack chopper or a jet will dramatically improve your k/d ratio.Main thing is also when you are on the ground like people have already said dont run blindly into the fray.Be patient and wait for backup.Lone wolves always end up dying at innoportune moments and if they had been in a squad would have been revived.I only play lone wolf when im in a jet,but usually im in a squad.BTW I see nothing wrong with sniping if thats your thing my only observation is you must pay attention to your tickets and flags.It may be leftup to you to get a flag back.Dont hesitate to help your team whenever you can.

Most definately.  Whoever says snipers are useless has obviously been killed by alot of them or can't master the "tricks of the trade" for sniping.  Snipers are very good helping to clean large groups of infantry, or damaging them and making them easy pickings for anyone with any weapon, and they are also quite handy against enemy snipers so you arent getting headshotted every 30 seconds.

Just do what you enjoy doing and stick with it, eventually things will turn around as you get better and better at it.
