I have played Call of Duty and Battlefield. I usually join a clan and work with my team. A few can overcome many if we all have the same focus. I would say I am best close to mid range. I have a lot of tricks that seem to hold true to most games. 1 on 1 I can usually kill my opponent. Thinking outside the box has always worked best for me. Oh flanking is my bread and butter. I haven't tried Dust yet. I want to not suck. You guys are filling in so much info that I need. How come the game designers do not include this in a tutorial?
All that makes me think scout - but it take a little longer to get the skills a scout needs to be competetive compared to most others.
Especially with 1.8 (relatively major update im sure you are aware by now) I'd just concentrate on core skills (shield, Armor, Biotics).
Don't bother investing in dropsuit command until you are sure about what playstyle you prefer and undersand which suit is going to help you achive it the best. Use MLT meds/lights/heavies to get a feel for which direction you prefer.
When it comes to modules and weapons just try the milita version or just invest in the first level to use the STD version for improved fitting.
Invest in fitting skills when you realise you don't have enough CPU/PG for a specific fit you want to try. Fitting skills are never a waste, but quite SP intensive and early on there will be plenty of passive skills that will serve your needs in the here and now.
If it is CPU you need, don't forget about light weapons, sidearm and explosives skills - when you just need 1-2 CPU these will often make a better early SP investment than electronics lv3/4 for example. If its PG you need, the relatively expensive Engineering skill is your best (pretty much only) option. Dropsuit Core Upgrades, upgrades both PG/CPU a tiny amount - it's cheap, but you pretty much have to get lv5 to see much significant difference for your PG especially.
Uplinks are good for amassing WP for that extra ISK/SP and learning to place them is good for learning maps as well as player/squad behaviour. Compared to games like CoD or Battlefield, there are a lot of approaches to how you play - especially if you're the type of person who likes to exploit weaknesses in both load out and personality, it's worth paying attention to how allies and enemies play and fit their mercs - you might also pick up a few ideas you might want to try out yourself.
This is all IMHO anyway.
PS sign up for Dus University when you start and don't be afraid to post questions in the rookie training grounds (try searching first, but I find some technical/math stuff is a bit out of date).
