The real problem, and why pub stomping happens so much is the lack of teamwork. Most of the newberries lonewolf, rarely backing up their team or providing adequate medical attention. Further, even if there are multiple squads, most of the squads rarely use tactics, or at least flank. If your on the loosing side, especially one that has been slaughtered, pay attention to how the opponent plays. Most of the time they are not just fighting you straight on, they usually have long-range support, assault pushing from all sides and a logi (or more) providing ammo/armor.

I can't tell you how many times the majority of blueberries on my side refuse to help, rather they just charge straight at the opponent getting slaughtered again and again. This isn't COD where it's all about you and your KD, this is a team game where the victory is dependent on how well a team works together.

Also, if you can't figure out how to win with even the basic tools then you are just as much a scrub as the people your raging against. Instead of constantly complaining how hard it is, or how you can't catch up to the no-lifers, or why you can't succeed because you don't have the greatest equipment, practice. Spend sometime watching how others play and if possible squad up with different people.

The reason there is such animosity towards COD players is they come in to this game thinking it's the same thing, believing they can fight alone. But this is a team game and one that I guess is to complex for COD players.

Good luck,

One thing you have to remember is we are still in beta, and yes there are a lot of weird and pointless glitches, but this is still a beta.

In regards to your comment, essentially yes it is, there are ways to kill them, it might not be easy but it can still be done you just need to think about how to approach it (I might not be the greatest FPS player but I run cheap fits and can still hold my own against protobears) . Further, it also depends on how you are spending your skill points as there are a lot of passive skills that will increase your armor/shields (you have to remember this is both an FPS and an MMO so some of the skill also comes in how you build you fit). Again, as I said above instead of complaining why you constantly die, why not try to think of ways you can deal with it, whether it be the weapon being used, items, play style, or even the people you are squading with.

Lastly, I know quite a few former MLG players that are currently playing Dust and all of the them are very skilled.

I will reiterate this once again, your opponents are not invincible, you just need to think about how you can kill them as well as learn the positive and negatives of the items you use.

If you still have even the slightest interest left in the game, it might be worth till waiting until the next build releases, as CCP will be fixing a lot of the bugs, changing the graphics, adding a new game mode, more weapons and items as well as other things.

And if you want to try to continue playing during this build, the first thing I would suggest doing is join a Corp, it doesn't matter what corp you join, but being with other players and being a part of the community will definitely add to the game-play experience.
