I finally bumped into Ostepop in KZ2. He's really good (usually top 3 or top in the game). I'm usually the bottom 3.

I have yet to try multiplayer (other than playing with bots). usually don't even go online anymore because I don't have enough time to play to get good enough. Maybe I'll go online just to try it out as it seems to be pretty fun.
Same here, I'm stuck on the Autrach sanctum part of the last level.
Its kind of annoying to join MP so late, because you'll be so behind everyone who jumped into MP the moment the game came out.
I mean in-mission, the whole UAV/Air support positive feedback loop. The game rewards your doing well by allowing you to do better. Which sounds great in practice but I think is a design flaw, one that Treyarch seems to have maintained in WaW (didn't buy it so all I know are forum comments and reviews).
It's not a run and gun weapon, at that the SMG or the shotgun are far better, but they sacrifice long-range. As for standing still, more or less. It's difficult to ping someone who's running perpendicular to your FOV, but not so much for a more typical confrontation, where people are firing from behind cover. I don't know, I've just been pretty fortunate at using the AR. In fact, in close combat, firing 'from the hip' and holding your sights high usually would mean a headshot in close quarters, this even against SMGs or shotties.
It's easy to find warzones for newbies. If you want, you can spectate first.

I found KZ2 walkthroughs on YouTube. They are rather helpful in navigating the last level in Veteran and Elite difficulty.
I went for it this weekend, and although I'm not great, like patsu said, there's noob rooms which are fun enough even for noobs. By my 36th death I was killing more than dying (28 kills).
And you don't die all the time right away either, which is nice. Also, the maps have a lot of fun passages and places where you can be free from instant death, and the objectives keep the more skilled players busy in certain areas giving you more breathing room.I went for it this weekend, and although I'm not great, like patsu said, there's noob rooms which are fun enough even for noobs.

Noone played with me
Thanks, but I only use walkthroughs if I really get stuck.
I actually have a strategy worked out, I just don't have the Zen like level of calm to pull it off. I always get overexcited and take too many risks, like trying to sprint over and stab that flamethrower guy (all while thinking, this is kind of stupid, but imagine what it'll be like if I get away with it
).It also doesn't help that I always use my pistol (and I don't even have the good one) unless the situation is extremely dire, I often finish levels with a full clip of ammo in my main arm (and not because I use the ammo boxes either). I have a severe case of the HL2 mentality.
It will take me another hour or two to beat. Much faster than if I was using the old controls that's for sure.
A recommendation for newbs:
Dont play 32player matches, usually they finish way to quickly, and are way to chaotic for someone to learn the game and map. Playing with less amounts of players tends to make the game more tactical, induvidual classes stand out more, squads can make bigger differences, but most importantly the game does not play like a frag fest from Quake 3:Arena.
Instead of having 10 guys shooting at eachother from all kinds of angles in chokeholds on small maps, the enemy encounters are more spread out, and much less random. This makes teamwork much more effective, and being strategical really can result in some wonderful results.
You die less, you get the practice more.

Ok, I'm tryin' to play with my brother, but this game is really making it hard ... If one of us is in a game and the other tries to join they always get an "inappropriate rank" message or something like that. I think he just unlocked the clan/squad stuff and I just unlocked the shotgun. What gives?
Well, if I saw correctly a bunch of online games / servers are limited to a specific rank. I played on a beginners server for instance, and if you had a few ranks up and tried to join my server, I imagine that in these cases, one of you satisfies the criteria and the other doesn't and you get that message.
I thought he'd told me yesterday that he was 3rd rank. Guess he got it wrong.
No. I got it wrong: http://faqs.ign.com/articles/958/958214p1.html
You're only one level apart. Should be able to level up quickly.

You dont have to be the exact same level to play together. You should be able to play together as is, but worst case just join games that allow all levels?
