Had an amazingly good session last night/this morning, playing better than I ever have before.
I finally got around to switching to the micro uzi as backup for my sniper rifle, and good gods it is so good. Incredibly tired, my eyes sore and head aching, unable to really focus, I started to play more on instinct than anything and began to actually hold my own. I was managing to quickly scope in on people with my rifle and kill them on-the-go, and my uzi-based shenanigans were deadly- as soon as I got it I bought increased blindfire accuracy, so just blaze wildly as I charge towards someone, hopefully scoring at least a few hits, and then finish 'em off with a melee hit.
They try to run? Well, then I just hold l1 to actually
aim. I've also gotten better at stealth kills etc. One moment stands out, the idol (think flag) was right in the heroes' base, I rush through there, see an enemy tackle one of my team from behind and snap their neck. I run up, get behind him and do exactly the same thing, with an identical animation. Comedy!
I have improved immeasurably at this game. In one session I went from rank 38(or 39?) to 42.
That's actually quite a lot.
Damn, this game is so bloody fun. I'm glad it still has a decent playerbase. Now I just need to recover so I can play it some more...
Apologies for my sleep-befuddled rambling.
