1. Use cover more often. Give yourself enough time to fully recharge shield/armor even if it means breaking off the engagement and letting your team finish the job. Expect to get shot through obstacles from time to time; it happens.
2. Fight on the fringe. Don't let yourself get surrounded. Always stay on the outside of the enemy perimeter if you can.
3. You're playing on a network, so sometimes you will continue getting hit even after you are behind cover. Leave yourself an HP margin of safety so that if you continue to get hit behind cover, then you won't die.
4. You're playing on a network, so sometimes enemies are not really facing the direction that you see them facing. If you see someone, always assume that they see you too and are already facing you and shooting you. You have a choice: Take them head on and try to kill them first by facing them, strafing or weaving and opening fire; or run for cover before you begin the engagement.
5. Always maneuver next to cover. It might take you longer to travel, but you'll live longer.
6. If you have some buddies, squad up and use tactical maneuvers, giving cover fire and holding a defensive line. If you don't have a squad, try the HIGHLAND PRIDE chat channel for a friendly group of mercs.

You'll probably hear this a lot but its the best way to avoid getting stomped as a new player.
Don't forget it's not just the proto gear, older players will also know the maps, the guns, the different suits strengths and weaknesses. It all adds up to a sizable advantage which will take time to overcome. I know every map and fit off by heart. I know when to back off and when to fight but there are little to know fights I can take and the fights I am forced to fight I still NEARLY get them.
If you are of equal skill with the opponent and they are using proto and you are using MLT or STD gear, then you will nearly get them before you die. Proto has an advantage. Try switching up your tactics if you want to take down proto gear with MLT fittings.
