Ok, I've been playing Dust for about a month or so.

I understand that, just like Eve, it's a complex game that has a steep learning curve and many skills that are required to get good at the game.

However, I dont understand how for days and days and days I can end up on the losing team in each and every battle.

It's not just me, that I could handle because I could just look at it as me being new to the game and needing more skills. Instead it's just game after game of my entire team getting mowed down like dogs by elite enemy death squads.

And I never ever find myself on same side with anyone near as good. Only against them.

So far, this is how my experience has gone.

A single enemy heavy wipes out my entire squad, laughing and puffing a cigar as bullets bounce off his chest.

I come up in a heavy suit and a single enemy completely avoids all oncoming fire and beans me in the face, killing me instantly.

All one on one fights end up with me doing virtually no damage to my enemy while they take me down in less than 3 seconds. This outcome is the same even if I'm using a Gek assault rifle and my enemy is in Militia gear.

I surprise an enemy anti tank player and take him down to like 2% health. He turns a corner and as I come out to finish him off he annihilates me with his pistol.

I spawn in front of an enemy and he guns me down before I can blink.

Enemy spawns in front of me . . . he guns me down before I can blink.

I'm sure that this is where I'm going to get nothing but replies telling me how much I suck at life, but what am I doing wrong?

I applied to the Dust University, hopefully I can learn a few things there that might help, but I appreciate all advice and suggestions that anyone might be able to give,

Thanks!
