no not really.
What an in depth response.
If you are just looking at some random persons stats, yes, really. What could possibly be telling? W/L i guess is somewhat telling but not really since a person can't control the dozens of other people in the game. Score per min doesnt mean much, otherwise i guess the people who spam supply in metro are the best players in BF3. K/D? Who cares, you maybe have that by just spamming 320s. All the stats can be misleading or meaningless.
If your w/l is like 3.0 you have to be doing something right, even if that something is just being in a clan that's got no issues stacking pubs.
As to the others, good stats don't mean you're good, but bad stats do mean you're bad. There's almost no way to argue that you're competent if your k/d is 0.5. That's a meaningful assessment.
The term, I think, is "necessary but not sufficient."
yay! im doing something right! just hit 3.0++ W/L ratio. I play pure CQ and on random servers,without a clan haha.

TDM is all about kills, bottom left corner where the tickets usually are is just a counter for how many kills your team has gotten. Only conquest and rush is where tickets come into play.
Just so you all know, the tickets only drop when your truly dead. When your lying there with a chance to be revived, the ticket count doesnt go down yet. Its when you go into the deployment screen then your death/ticket loss is registered and counted.
This is me btw. Add me to friendlist if you guys want. My platoon is just a platoon i made just for myself. With a logo made out of pure fun rofl.

They take different skills and while some of them are compatible with other game types- some are useful for only HC. No one can say HC is a joke and HC can't say that 'normal' is EZ. All that is just arrogance and spewing elitism over a game that you're not good enough to be pro at.
~_~ SO THERE THAT SETTLES THAT.
huh? in normal i cant stand it because i'll pump 5 rounds from an ak into someone at 20 yards and they run away. LOLWUT? hc = i shoot them twice with the ak and their dead.
If you're good at softcore you'll be good at hardcore or vice versa. You just die easier in hardcore mode which is annoying and promotes camping gameplay imo. Jet skill cap is much lower in hardcore though since all you really have to do is air fight instead of everything like you have to do in softcore (flying third person is much harder but much more rewarding than flying first)

I would love to see the entire BF3 fan base try Red Orchestra or Arma 2.
Softcore and Hardcore are just different ways of playing. Sure it encourages all the scared players to camp, but they should be staying low and getting to the objective. Its that or lose the match. Hardcore in BF3 is even hardcore light for most games. Softcore, running out in the open without a care in the world is still stupid, it just gets punished more in hardcore. If you have a server full of people who are any good, the difference between softcore and hardcore is blurred as people get killed extremely quickly anyways. Play on a decent counterstrike server. By all means the survivability of people is more on the softcore side but people are so good at headshotting and putting lead on the target it might as well seem like hardcore.
Us realism fans just prefer more tactics over running and gunning, tis just taste.
dont use the heavy barrel, the accuracy bonus is nullified by the huge increase in recoil. aek is a great gun, if you can manage your ammo - i always run out of ammo when using the aek. if all fails just go back to the default guns, the m16 and the ak-74 are most well-rounded guns in the game.
and dont forget, you cant pick up flowers or read books in this game, which i always try to do after playing skyrim
Finally got my pc, so I've played about 4-5 hours of this tonight. Loving it! Also much better I know have a scope and some defibs.. Shame I have assessments this week, otherwise my entire weekend would be taken up by it I reckon.
