No matter how great you are at capturing flags, defending nodes, and scouting the enemy's territory, your skill will be judged on how high your k/d ratio is. If you are unaware, your k/d is a ratio of your kills and deaths, e.g., 20 kills and 10 deaths would be a k/d ratio of 2. In nearly all console shooter games, a k/d ratio of 1.0 is the average. Anything over 1.0 is good, but the more dominant players will be around 2.0 or even higher. It is important to work your hardest to improve your k/d ratio. There are many squads and clans that have a minimum k/d ratio requirement to join.
There are several ways that are common amongst all the console shooter games to raise your k/d ratio. Every game will have a sensitivity setting under the options menu. Play around with different sensitivities, working your way from low to high until you find the one suited for you. Playing on a team is vital to having a high k/d ratio. If you don't know anyone who plays the same game, send friend request to your fellow competitors. There are also many forums across the internet, where players unite and list their gamertags so that they never have to play alone.
Play style can determine how successful you will be at have a high k/d ratio. Don't camp in a single spot, eventually an enemy you killed will just toss a grenade from a safe location hoping you are still sitting exactly where you were when you killed him. The play style I promote involves killing a few enemies from a single location, then moving to an area where you have a line of sight to your previous location. With revenge on their minds, the enemies you just gunned down several seconds ago will blindly rush your previous location, allowing for several more easy kills. Rinse and repeat this method for a surefire way to raise your k/d ratio.
While having a mindset of needing to obtain maximum kills may work for some, it doesn't for others. I suggest that you move to a more defensive way of thinking. Focus on keeping yourself alive. Killing any enemies that are a direct threat, but not leaving yourself open to mental errors that often come with "run and gun" style of play.
