Oh, no hard feelings... I don't mind others having a different opinion on the game. Just trying to find some form of justification for my bitterness towards the game that's all.
Ironically though, all the advices you gave me above, are ones that apply very much so to RFOM: Knowing when, where and how to use your weapons. Only problem is: You only have two and changing/finding weapons during a heated deathmatch game is rather difficult. The easiest way to do that, is to die and start with your ideal weapon - something I prefered in RFOM where the player was forced to find it first (gave the whole game more variety). That's like starting the game everytime with BullsEye in RFOM (as human). Or with the ArcCharger.
Oh and btw (this more applies to Betan):
Playing with the FarEye as a team with someone to protect you may work very well in team deathmatch (and is a blast), but in deathmatch, highly unlikely.
Of course, moving around helps - but in a crowded 10 player (or more) deathmatch, this may be quite difficult to achieve. I haven't seen all levels yet, but those that I have seen aren't really optimal, which I think is a shame. I loved sniping in RFOM.
Oh and btw: for the record - I'm not bad at R2. My kDR so far has been around 1.5 up to 2 or higher in the few deathmatch games I've played. Not something I messure myself though - it's always dependant on how skilled players you're facing. On the other hand though - that's exactly my point: It required more skill in RFOM to play good (and in itself is/was more rewarding in the end). Perhaps this is it, what made the game more accessible to many?
Perhaps I can add you to my PSN friends list and we can play a few matches together. Those on my list haven't been playing much R2 - either they aren't in the beta or not really happy with it.
