I try not to complain too much about things like this, but I have to agree that there is a major balance issue in this game. I will go ahead and say that I truly SUCK at this game and I feel sorry for any team that gets stuck with me. The problem is that this is my first fps. I would like to get better at this, but it is rather difficult when I find myself against seasoned vets and find myself dying before I get a chance to join a firefight. I have improved a little by just sniping (I have the most fun on the game when engaging other snipers with my bottom of the barrel militia sniper rifle) or sitting out the battle altogether when I am in a horribly unbalanced match and getting a bit of practice in during the rare even matchup or if it is unbalanced in favor of my team (even then it is difficult to practice since I hardly get to see an enemy before my teammates wipe him out). When last I checked, I had pushed my K/D ratio up to 0.46 which is a very nice improvement over my 0.31 that I had after a few weeks of play. I honestly wish there was a practice mode where I could battle A.I. enemies with an adjustable difficulty, doesn't even need to have sp or isk rewards. I just want a place to go hone my skills so that I can someday be an asset to the team rather than a drain on the clone reserves. I am sure that will never happen though since the Devs have their hands full working hard on the rest of the game.

Who are you? And what have you done to Cat Merc?
