I second some of the recommendations here for "Hell Let Loose" or "Squad" as places with a more mature player base. People communicate and cooperate much better in those games. Slower more cerebral gameplay though with occasional chaos, but very rewarding. For the more fast moving twitchy games these days I mostly don't care about my Kill/Death ratio that much. I like to just mess around and explore different tactics, try playing with only specific or unpopular weapons, outsmart other players, that kind of thing. It's easy to be a sniper and get head shots, much more fun to be a sniper and get sneaky headshots with a revolver. I'm much better at all that then twitch shooting. It's even more fun when some veteran pulls some clever tactic on you that you haven't thought of. Great opportunity to learn and pull it on some unsuspecting youngsters in turn. Much more fun then pure run-and-gun. Big open world games like Battlefield are great for messing around like that because the environment is complex and varied, and frankly nobody cares if their team wins or looses. So most people experiment and laugh at their failures. As always though there's a minority that are just dicks but they're easy to ignore. BTW, is it just me or is "Hell Let Loose" a direct descendent of the old Reality Mod in Battlefield 3? Some of the mechanics seem awfully similar.
