While I'm not the best player I try to get better each time and I'm trying to kick my USAS Addiction.

Please look at this video. If you have any tips to help improve my game I would really appreciate them.

I had a ton of fun in this fight. I just love this game

ok. some general tips. not in any order, but... emphasise cover. the more of your body cannot be seen, the more of it cannot be hit, you're a smaller target, and have an advantage over them from thew start of the firefight, you should be trying to move from cover to cover, exposing as little of your player for as short a time as possible. for example, at 02:53, you had a firefight with a sniper. you should have higged the end of that train, so you could only see where the shot came from, on the corner of the train, instead, you could see the entire escalator, you should know from experience that many people tumble down these stairs, and if you can't see them, they can't see you.

i also noticed that when you look for someone to shoot, you tend to stand outside cover, then you see movement, you zoom in, and then try to find them whilst aiming down sights. what you should try to do, is get your large hip-fire crosshairs over them as accurately as you can, so they're in the middle, don't take time to do this, just try to be as accurate as possible, while as fast as you can. this means that you only have to make minor adjustments to where you're aiming, and these are easier because aiming down the sights is a much less sensitive movement.

you could further improve this technique, by hding behind cover, and then when going out to check for enemies, don't pop out with the intent to shoot who you see, you are just looking for a potential target. do it fast enough, and the person who saw you will likely not have enough time to hit you before you're back in cover, certainly not kill you. hell, the guy who saw you may just hold down the trigger on you're spot, if he does, stay in their till the bullets stop, and then pop out to kill. oh, and try and rember where abouts on your screen the guy you saw was, or where he was sprintint to, and get ready to look at that spot, then, when you pop out, adjust your hipfire crosshairs on him, and then aim in, and adjust to hit him.

you are also using a burst weapon, the M16A4, it has considerable vertical climb on bursts, this means that you should be aiming for the lower abdomen in close quarters, and be on single shot at longer ranges. you make a perfect example of where you should be aiming in 02:42, you aiming for the lower abdoman, and what do you know, all 2 bursts hit the target, and in critical places, that's what you should aim to do in every situation, know you can't do it every time, no-one can, but i'd say 1/5 kills should be something close to this.

got to 04:00, and you will se en example of what to do wrong at longer ranges. again, you see the guy, you do0n't adjust, you aim in, and then adjust, try and imagine first of all putting the end of the tunnel in your hipfire crosshairs, and then aiming in, you'd see your target the whole time, and after a lot of practise, you should be able to almost snap on to him. you also saw what happens when you try and burst fire at longer ranges, after a little spraying around, probably due to not aiming at the target before you go down sights, you clam down, but the dot on the guys head, and hit it... problem is, you're still in burst. you shoot six rounds, all well aimed, but they just didn't hit because you couldn't control them. you should have switched to single shot, aimed just like you did before, and tried to pop his head.

watch your mini map, and listen for enemy voices! you're in the russian team. any american shouts you hear, will be from the enmy, and their queiet ness tells you how far away they are.

at 09:20, you have chased a guy to B, but lost him. you then hear "here man, pick yourself up, here are the meds", coming from the escalators, and then your team mate runs over to there, the guy you heard shoots the guy on the stairs, and he pops up on the minimap... you react to this, by running over to the locker area, and i presume, waiting for the guy to run up. this is fine, but it's not great. he will go up there very cautiously, looking for anyone standing around those stairs, for anyone like you, who knows he is coming, and is waiting to kill him. it would have been better if you had run to the side of those escalators, and while he was in that fatal funnel of the escalator, you popped up and put a few into his head, you also would have seen that team mate who sprinted up and got past, and got him mid sprint, you definitely would have got him.

it's very helpful that you record your videos, it means you can actually learn from them, i am trying to do this at the minute as well... PVRs are so expensive tho... i always say that 90% of bf is played in your head, it's all about procedure, flanking, holding back instead of just running in front of a corridor full of guys, and taking a couple down before they all kill you... games like call of duty, they're 98% aiming and reactions, once you get good at that, you just can't get any better.... there's much more room for improvement on BF. you have an infinite number of ways to attack the enemy, and still retain that aiming and reaction potential, which is all that other games have... you can aim precisely with a lot of practise at 3 in the morning with one eye closed and druel seeping out of your face, but you play BF best when you're awake and aware of your surroundings, you can make snap decisions which will hopefully be the correct ones... i'm still quite far off from this, i still have tonnes to improve myself, ESPECIALLY my aim, but i'm definitely getting there, and THANK YOU, for trying to refrain from using the usas, it ruins 90% of the games i play, so the less people that use it, the better.

Practice crouching more when taking time to "cool down" or heal. Also be more mindful of grenades. Peripheral vision helps with this so don't just glue your mind to the tip of your gun's barrell.
Oh, you must've been hoping for a Battlefield 2.5 à la Modern Warfare?
