You definitely picked the most difficult FPS on anything (not couting Arma) to be your first console shooter. LOL. I dont really worry about my KD in bf3. Mine is below 1.00 as well. But I never die 50 times unless get as many kills within +/-10 of it. My suicidal tendencies with c4 is what drags my k/d down. I take tank/apc kills personally at times and require swift vengeance. It works faster than rockets, and its hard to get people to team up and all shoot rockets at a tank. I blow myself up with it because 9 times out of 10 when I run away after tossing the C4 on the target, I get shot while running away. I take no chances. Sometimes my sacrifice is rewarded with 2-3 kills if there is more than one unlucky sole in the vehicle. I don't mind the level 100s, I like taking their dog tags, on xbox they are mostly snipers.
