Pro advice: Never give up, trust your instincts.

If your team is down by, say, 20 kills in elim, take it up to yourself. Rush recklessly, but kinda not recklessly. Rush in, check your corners, and shoot anything that moves... sort of. It works for me; I've pulled many comebacks in the last minute of gameplay.

Papa doesn't buff KDR, by the way. Rec Rule KDR's are all glitchified.

Just like Jamester234 said, play Fireteam, ESPECIALLY Desert Thunder to improve gameplay. Usually the AI's have much better aim than some nub who just started, so it'll help you gauge a sense of cover and suppression with grenades/fire/etc etc etc.

Try not to use NX weapons; it'll help you adjust gameplay. For example, with the M416 CQB/MK14 MOD 0 you can literally just run in and full-auto anyone in your way, but with a gun like the SG550 or the K2 you really don't want to, since the 550 has so little damage and the K2 shoots slowly. Once you learn how to be more aware of your surroundings, equip your NX weapons. I guarantee it'll boost your gameplay and awareness. Try not to play with music on and keep your ears up while you play with non-NX weaponry, since you'll want to adjust your ears for even the slightest of noises, such as footsteps/feet hitting metal/grenades.

I agree with your "scout out the maps" idea. Get some friends for OMA and just mess around. Find some good sniping spots/choke points for grenades and fire/smoke. Find some place where you'll have a lot of cover/the enemy won't, preferably a place where you can spray down accurately in a choke point w/o having to worry about them killing you. (A great spot for this is behind cafe benches in Oil Rig, assuming this is Bravo and it's harder to headshot)

I hope you get better at the game. We need better players; most of the players are fraudulent (i.e don't want to get better b/c they believe they're good enough already when they really aren't)
