Online noob, any tips?

To be fair tdm is good you get less points in less time. Eg:tdm last 7min get 1500+ points. Cq last 30mins get 3000+ points. Tdm is better because you can easily rack up the points and it's where bad people hang out so you can get easy kills against bad people

If you haven't already bought the recon shortcut kit, don't. TBH, unless you like camping and slapping a giant label on your back (aka the game you just traded in), it's semi useless. The SOFLAM is one of the most useful "perks" of the recon but only is effective on vehicle maps. IMHO, any sniper that sits 2km away from the battle in a conquest game is the most useless player. In the PC version with 64 players it's acceptable, but when it's 12vs12 on console, 1 ineffective camping person can swing the battle the wrong way.

You'll get most from this game if you play as support or engineer. There's nothing like running into a cap point, RPG'ing a tank and capping the point yourself. You just won't get that experience if you're on the top of a hill screaming "guys, I totally see that guy way over there!"

Already bought it

But I don't intend on sitting hundreds of miles away from the objectives.

Sorry but why did you start with the less most helpfull, and hardest kit to master?

I levelled up my recon with shotguns I unlocked during the progress of the game.

Everyone else has already said all the important tips. So I'll just keep restating.

Your already at a decent disadvantage this point in the game since you didn't get many guns unlocked. Even the Christmas noobs have the majority of the guns now. So my recommendation is to play an Operation Metro 24/7 Server given you can find one that isn't just a 1000 ticket spawn rape.

Playing a team support role, you'll outscore TDM out the ass even if you don't get many kills. Just spam the defibs and ammo boxes. Hell, randomly throw out an MAV or T-UGS and expect a flood of free points. Its the best way to unlock weapons really fast.

I don't mean to discredit TDM, you can still score very high on the high kill count TDM maps, but if your a noob, your not going to. You can be terrible at kills and still score high with support actions on Conquest. On TDM, if your not good at killing, your score will be low.

Also, learn how to use vehicles. They were super nerfed in the last patch, and you need all the practice you can get with them now. To start off, heres an instructional video on helicopters:

Does this mean I am the best in the clan at killing as I'm the best at tdm

Know your role...

Support class with a large LMG, 200 rounds and a bi-pod can really help your team push up or keep the enemy from advancing. As AlphaCookie mentioned "spam ammo" I can't express how many points you can get just running between two squads dropping them ammo crates.

Assualt class, don't forget to heal if you have health packs and use your de-fibs, 100 points a revive and it adds a ticket back to your team so its a win win.

Engineer class, don't just use it for the carbine. RPG, Javelin, mines, repair tool all come in very handy. And if your team is getting pumped by an attack heli use the Stinger. Theres not enough people who do use the stinger and would rather leave a match cos they are too stupid to change from assualt to a more usefull class for the situation.

Recon class... Hmmm, I like using the MAV on rush maps, I send it straight from our spawn and park it on a building near or above the M-com station. You just parked a mobile motion sensor over where the enemy will be going... Que the motion assists and points points points. Alot of people use Recon with PDW's or shotguns. This can be good if you plan to get close and fight for the objective but bolt-action sniper with ACOG, laser sight and straight pull bolt is ace at medium to close range. Also don't forget to put a spawn point close to the objective so your squad can get back to the fight in 50 metres instead of running the 250 metres or sometimes more as it can be in some maps.

You'll pick up the little tricks and learn the ins and outs of the maps in time. Also yeah it would be a good idea to get some time in vehicles and learn how to use them as some of them got buffed whereas others got nerfed.

Not really, people can kill in any game mode so it doesn't really matter.

If you can get a high amount of kills, and low amount of deaths, and PTFO, and support your team with med-kits or ammo crates and bake a cake whilst blindfolded then you'll be the best in the clan.
