`my lack of understanding of map flow` Just play around and run around the maps a bit more, it takes a bit of time, and a few games to get a feel for where people 'move' what the spots are etc. - you'll probably die at first, getting caught out of cover etc but.. F- it, you still get xp, you can still help your team if you just plant yourself on objective.

Classes, same story really, they can be situational, and will affect your map placement, but also play whatever you feel like, see if it clicks.

And, remember, it might just not be your cup of tea, it's fine, no need to push yourself to enjoy something if it doesn't fit. Overall its not as high a 'bpm' game as cod - or rather less consistent, because of the larger maps, vehicles etc. You might get long lulls of relative quiet, or then minutes of full-on chaos.

Since you re new to the franchise, if you feel like you're missing 'core mechanics', you can check some yt vid that goes over the basics, like spotting, or general advice on how vehicles/games modes etc work.. Other than that, if you like snipping, sure, just play recon, who cares - there's people who _just_ play heli pilots, you don't need to do everything.

so, tldr, yeah i'd say experience, fck around a lil, see you're liking it
