Why is it that when i shoot someone on dust (ive been playing for four days now...) that it takes me like 30 hit markers to kill them but for them it only takes like 2 shots to connect and I die (ive been 2 shotted with rail guns before and seen snipers do 1700+ to me as well in ONE shot...I frankly dont see how to make this happen even with light weapon daamge ups and a 210 dmg sniper)....even in a heavy suit i die super quick....and ive even encountered this with light suits.....i have no choice but to use crap weapons to start with since im starting as explosives specialist...btw my proxy mines NEVER blow up when someone is even ON TOP of them??? wtf is that crap about.,,,,,ive tried to detonate them and cant....i stick them in hallways that people DO go through and nothing...they just walk right past them and kill me from behind....and ALL exits are covered with them so i know for a fact they are walking past them....am I missing something? this game has alot of potential...but thats just it for now...potential...im about to give up and not play it anymore because if its not one thing its another...this game needs A CRAP TON of work if you ask me (higher sensitivity #1, militia weapons that are actually fair...and much more)....its unplayable and i dont see how to get kills unless you spend 909132485091328 hours dying to make a fitting good enough to actually kill something....im not asking for an instant response to being able to kill someone...but four days 12 hours a day and still going 0-12 MOST games?....i dont get that ****...i shoot them more accurately than they shoot me 90% OF THE TIME!!! YET I STILL DIE!! this is NOT right if you ask me....you should be rewarded for good acc not killed.....ive tried hmg ive tried assault rifles ive tried smgs ive tried rail guns....nothing seeems to work....is militia gear SERIOUSLY this under powered or what?! Ive only bought sniper rifles non militia and havnt really seen anything to impressive about them either...and another thing...why dont you see hit markers for shield shots? LAME...it should be a yellow hit marker then armor should be red....I pick battles smart and know when to encounter and realize this games alot different than COD (which i typically play and ****) I shouldnt suck this much at this game judging by my general skill level on COD (btw I have a 12 w/l ratio on squads if this helps tell you anything about my COD skills...)....is there anything anyone can help me out with ....ive recent adapted to hip firing more often since ADS is fricken turtle paced in this game....is it worth losing the acc?

You really need to take everything you type and break it down into paragraphs; presentation is very important. 2. Join the corporation Dust University* and start running in a squad with people in that corporation. I have learned that at least 90% of the people when they first start playing this game need guidance from a corporation. 3. I also played COD before playing this game and I was a beast at COD (my record time for going 30-0 in Free-For-All is 54 seconds). This game is much more complicated and requires a lot more strategy than COD will ever demand from its playerbase. I'm not going to suggest you forget everything you learned in COD because those skills will come in handy later on in this game, but for right now it will best not to apply any COD strategy to this game. 4. Invest your SP wisely. I was very smart with my SP investment when I first started playing this game and because of that I avoided a lot of headaches that other people had to deal with. I recommend picking 1 Weapon and 1 Dropsuit to designate as your "bread n' butter" and primarily focus your SP in what is called Core Skills. Core Skills are essentially the skills that make your overall dropsuit better. 5. Since you are new and you are running Militia Gear I would suggest never trying to engage in combat with someone by yourself. When I first started I always made sure to stay close to my teammates and to help them kill whoever it is they are trying to kill. In the beginning for me to actually kill a redberry took a miracle but I was able to get a lot of kill assists rather easily so what I did was I looked at kill assists as an achievement in its own right and if at any point I actually did get a kill then I simply viewed that as a extra little moment to be happy about. 6. This game is awesome.
