This has been my experience. When I set-up and think "i'm in the perfect spot" or "I think I can do something with this situation" and the guy that I'm facing somehow STILL kills me and I say to myself "how the frack did he just do that", I know that guy is on top of it. I had a few sniper battles with IMP-6 today where that happened. Pwnster had my number the other day. Then I switch to soldier and get wiped.
Some of you guys have had threads where you talk about how you feel that you are playing like garbage. I check your stats. You are doing better than I am most times, haha. That being said, I don't mind getting killed to turn around and get a good kill myself. I try to get involved in the match and watch some of these guys who are killing me over and over and over. I've played mostly soldier and have learned a lot from Gizanked and black_and_blue, just watching. I've tried to pick up some medic clues here and there. I've gotten to be ok sniping at times, and that has just come from playing some maps over and over. I read the sniper guide and it says roughly the same thing. Know the maps. From there I've tried to anticipate where guys will poke their knobby heads out from and try to hit 'em. I love that squishy sound when an arrow hits. I love when I pin a guy to the wall. Just getting on and runnign around for a bit is nice. I hope to improve with each round, but I'm not killing myself over it.
Rule No. 1, have fun.
