Starting to get the hang of it now, and getting enough kills to break even with the shocking amount of deaths I seem to suffer. I am glad to report the usage of the M60 has dwindled, only to be replaced by a nade-launcher. That only seems to kill me, even at point blank range. Go figure eh. Currently playing between medic and soldier classesUnlocked a few cool guns, nothing amazing like. I look forward to unlocking the M60 so I can exact revenge on a couple of my fragmates, who are laudering it over me.
Stick with it mate, focus on unlocking the XR8. Which should be the first unlock for you. Then things will SLOWLY start to improve. But, in general I agree. DICE hasn't made it easy on themselves.
