Ok,i been playing for about 2 days now and im getting wery frustrated with some ppl.

Whats the deal with the 1hitkills some ppl do?And some ppl hardly take any dmg it feels like.Why?

If it is a headshot i can understand if i would die from that,but some ppl seems to get it everytime they pull the trigger.And it seems wery wierd,since i noticed a 100% deadspot aim on the head isnt a sure headshot.tryed it on both npcs and players even if im deadsure it should be a headshot it isnt at sometimes.

And about the camouflage(hide)are ppl supposed to notice me even if i stand still if they get close?(note: they dont bump into me)so thats not why.

I havnt played much but this is putting me off.Im not the best of players but i know im not that bad so i should get 1hitted this much.I played fpsgames since i dont know how long,Probly the first ever.And never had this kind of aiming problems before.What is it that im missing?

Help.Thanks...

well, I dont really know what level you are or how much you know about the game so far, but from wat I know I'll try to solve your problem ;D first off, some people have better guns with better accuracy, range and low recoil, they can much more easily pull off a headshot on a player ;) there are also boosts that increase accuracy, damage, etc. the only way i can think of that someone could legitimately 1 shot kill u without a sniper would be for them to use the cabrese assault rifle with high damage boost. So I am guessing you are over exaggeratting ;D one thing you need to know about this game is that it is not always based on skill, but quite often it is based on the gear a player has and abilities. For example if someone uses psp rounds they will have 80% resistance to bullets and explosives. the ways to deal with this are to either jump knife them, stun nade them, or use corrosive rounds/nade. Or of course fire. Basically, there is a counter to most things, you just need to figure them out ;) and your question about the invisibility... well it's got it's flaws too ;D you can still hear the person's footsteps to find them, or you may just be too predictable lol

just work on getting better equipment or just upgrade your class/try out anew class that might better suit you. And by the sounds of it, you said you are using invisibility, so im guessing sniper class. snipers take alot of time to learn in this game. I used to snipe in every fps/tps i played. In this game i use lmg and ar mostly. just figure out what works best for u ;)

Hang in there.  This game is not easy for new low lvl's.

If it is a headshot i can understand if i would die from that,but some ppl seems to get it everytime they pull the trigger.And it seems wery wierd,since i noticed a 100% deadspot aim on the head isnt a sure headshot.tryed it on both npcs and players even if im deadsure it should be a headshot it isnt at sometimes.

It is very possible the reason is the players are using a custom profile with boosts.  With the right boosts and skill set up will explain why you notice this.

No they are not "supposed to" however, it is posssible to see you, as you have a faint silloet.  So move around more is harder to see and follow where you are going to the point they cant find you. There are a few other reasons they saw you "stanidng still" then killed you.

Hope this makes since to you.  I am typing 3/4's asleep :)

Certain boosts/abilities also increase damage resistance.  Bess is one you'll probably see a lot that ups all resistances by 50%, but lowers all damage but knife damage for 8 seconds. 

Knife is not subject to standard damage resistances, so use that to your advantage.  Just be wary of the electric shield ability that will stun you if you knife someone using it, and lower your knife damage.

The more you play the more you'll come to realize what's going on in matches, and the more comfortable you'll get at your preferred setups.

Edit: Also there is an ability that lets people see camoflauged players on the minimap, and an ability that lets you set out a gadget that makes cloaked people become visible.  If you ever see yourself look sort of digitalized while cloaked then you are visible to others.

Thanks for all the tips ppl.This  sure aint like any normal fps i understand now.

Guess i need to start looking for the correct boosts,skills and sharpen my knife.

Whats best to start with btw if i want to save money,a custom made or a premade char?

I would say the classes, at least for a few levels.  As a custom you have to replace ammo, boosts, and equipment.  You also have to buy ranks of abilities.  Its quite expensive for a starting player.  You can do it, but the classes are a much easier intro to the game, though they are a lot more limited.

You may want to use classes until they start getting more expensive to level up, then swap off to a custom.  Especially if you get premium, as you would outlevel equipment really fast at first.

Having high level weapons are like having hacks in this game. My wolf and maus with lvl 50 attachments have pretty much no recoil. Add a dmg + accuracy drug like frenzy to it, you can easily one shot newbies. I suggest you to not rely on these custom profiles until you hit at least level 40. Relying on custom profiles simply turns you into a bad player. Though I'm a level 50, I only use custom profiles for tournaments. Otherwise I use rank 5 soldier class or rank 7 sniper class. You may easily own with a custom profile in this game, but if you keep relying on it, your skill level will go down the drain.

Like 'Thoughtfulmoron' says for 1st char it will be better to stick with 'new to me system classes' (but you have to stick with it like glue till 50 to stack some $ for gear)
Personally i spend alot of money to level up some classes to (12 or 13 - don't remeber the cap level) to checkout the weapon and armor statistic, it is good but not like self made.
If you like halla at me in-game or PM, so i can make you some in-game screens about weapons and clotes. So you yourself can tell the difference.
PS. And yes i spend verry big amount of irl $ to get to my level of equipment.

Go with a premade class. They do cost a lot yes but if you pick one and stick with it your skills with it you will save money. I made a new char to try this out and I found that I didnt have a lot of cash for other things but that I could level up my class around the same time that it unlocked (level restriction). The default Soldier class is a good one but many people also like shadow spy and pyrotechnic just to name a few. Really you need to choose a class based off of how you play though and pick one that will support and strengthen your playing style.

This game is hard on new players but it can also be very fun. I recommend spectating some of the players that you think are good and seeing what they do. Just type /spectate PlayersName into the chat bar and if they are in a game you will join it in specate mode. Obviously fill in the correct name for PlayersName.. This can be a good way to find tricks that players like to use to rack up the kills and avoid being shot.

A tip.. Stay to the left. Like any shooter game this is a game of angles when it comes to having the correct line of fire. Since the camera is on your players right side when you are in battle, if you are on the left side of the wall you will have a sight advantage over any opponent not doing the same thing. There are some places where this does not make much of a difference but overall it is a good thing to keep in mind. Use your camera to your advantage. Look around corners before you run around them and know where you can take cover if you start to get shot at.

Best of luck

Allright,ill stick with premade for starters then.

and @ OPTION,Yeah i see esp alot of ppl play pyro(hate the fire tick dmg)Myself i picked Shadow Spy as my class.I didnt like the pyrocloths since the orange color makes me feel like im sticking out to much(no camo there)And thanks for the tip about spectate.Ill be sure to use that one.

Really helpful ppl on here.Thanks for all the help everyone.
