Battlefield 4 Multiplayer Guides – From Newbie to Pro

Battlefield 4 multiplayer is one the most complex and intense first person multiplayer games to date. It offers countless hours of online action and fun. But, it demands a wide range of skills from you.

Kits: Assault, Support, Engineer, and Recon. Each class has specific specialties and unique qualities to them. These alone can be a deciding factor in matches when they’re handled by skilled players. http://www.respawnless.com/battlefield-4-multiplayer-guides/

Here are the strengths and weaknesses of the Assault, Engineer, Support and Recon classes. http://www.usgamer.net/articles/what-is-the-best-battlefield-4-class-for-you

Assault: Ideal for aggressive players who like to get into the thick of the action. If you can aim quick and shoot accurately, this is your class.
Assault Class
Assault class is great for beginners, because it's a good all-rounder that'll let you get a feel for different aspects of the game, which will help you decide whether you want to focus on a different role, or stick with this one. Assault rifles are typically excellent at any range, offering great rates of fire and top-notch damage output capabilities. In order to get the most out of this class you'll want to stick close to your squad members and have Defibrillators at the ready.

Engineer: Often find yourself heading towards the closest vehicle? Love taking out enemy machines? Welcome to your wheelhouse!
Engineer Class
Being an Engineer is all about vehicles – whether you're fixing them up so your team can drive into battle, or taking out enemy machines to prevent them from being mobile. This class is most effective on larger maps that feature plenty of vehicles, so they can really take advantage of their strengths. The Engineer class no longer has exclusive rights to carbines, which have now been replaced by PDW weapons. Carbines are still in the game – only now all Battlefield 4 classes can use them. So use your PDW until you can get a carbine, whereupon select that as your primary weapon.

Support: If you're happy letting others rush in, while you provide cover fire and backup, the Support class is your choice. If you play it well, expect to receive mondo love from your teammates.
Recon: Are you a happy camper? Love picking people off from afar? Look no further than this class for your thrills and spills.
Support Class
The Support class is for players who take pride in doing the little things that help keep the team rolling. The only class that can use the LMG range of weapons, Support soldiers should focus on laying down suppressive fire and dropping Ammo Boxes at every opportunity. Don't use this class for running and gunning – if that's your thing, choose Assault. What a good Support player does is focus on setting up in strategic locations, with plenty of line of site to drop cover fire, and keep the enemy troops pinned. Think Rush defense here.

Recon Class
A primary complaint about the Recon class in Battlefield 3 was the feeling of being disconnected from the fight. Battlefield 4 solves that problem by making carbines available to any class, as well as the addition of C4. This helps give the class more flexibility, enabling them to concentrate on their core ranged strengths when necessary, but also allowing them to move with the team if needed. Before gearing up your Recon solider, consider what gadgets will best suit the needs of your squad.
