As Leo said, a gun which not only suits your style but suits the map is essential. I found on the beta I was really poor to start with, but when I moved onto the M249 SAW my play really improved, so that I was better when I went back to other weapons. It's got a good range an has a good rate of fire, so consider giving that a whirl.

Do you guys tend to pick an area to defend or just drift about the map? I think part of my problem is I roam too much rather than camping a particular area more.

I tend to stick with my team mates for a bit unless I know the map well, in which case I'll head towards the places I'm comfortable in. If you stick with your team mates and slightly behind them you'll be able to watch them and see how they play, and possibly where they're getting killed from (so toss some grenades that way).

I would really like to play rounds with you guys a lot of the players out there a just too good and what I find really frustrating is that no one will take a lead and coordinate movements so everyone is operating as a loner, where I've been firmly thrashed I get the impression the other team are coordinating their efforts over the headsets.

As soon as I get my Elite I'm up for some games, hopefully next Monday
