Is there a practice mode or a cheap game I can play to get the controls down so I don't suck so much?

Sorry, not a big gamer. Never played anything other than NCAA or Madden really. If the single player story mode is the practice that's fine I guess. Seems more story than actually playing the game. I'll just stick to madden I guess.

Not even close. Play style in multiplayer FPS is totally different. Tactics are one thing, but the bulk of your skill is going to come from fast reflexes, and some muscle memory from playing the same game engine constantly. And the latter part is the most important thing to accept. The movements/mechanics are going to be different in every game (or graphics engine), so mastering COD for 500 hours won't necessarily make you good at Battlefield/CS/Titanfall/etc. If you don't put in the time practicing in the same game under the same conditions, you won't get better at it. Maybe it's different for console players/controllers, but I know that the longer I play one FPS with M+KB, the worse I get at virtually every other FPS.
There are people who've played Battlefield games for years, logging a full-time job's worth of hours into them daily. There are cult-like devotees not unlike Counterstrike players. Obviously, casuals will never be able to keep up with the shite buckets. But Battlefield in particular seems to have a high skill ceiling.
Personally I'm not a big fan of the Battlefield series, so I've never put in the time in any of them to develop any sort of muscle memory for the mechanics. But as bad as I am at Battlefield games, I found that I was extra bad at Hardline back when I was playing the beta.
