I have a problem.  I really love the multiplayer style of COD (real world weaponry, customization to fit my playstyle etc.), but I suck at it.  I do not much care for Halo's race to get the best weapons style, but I tend to do pretty well.  I know the obvious answer is to do what I enjoy more, which at the moment is COD, but I can only endure getting my ass kicked for so long before it stops being fun.  I'm hoping I'm just rusty.  Anyone else have the same problem? 
 
Side note:  I was good at COD 4, really good at WaW, then I found that I sucked at MW2 and it is not looking good for Black Ops.  What happened?

Aim fast and watch your corners. I don't see how people are bad at this game, its pretty easy to catch someone off guard.

If you get stressed online, play Combat Training on Recruit or knock it up to Regular so they actually shoot back.  It's so much more fun.  Feels like you're playing online.

If you knew how to play Halo, you'd know it's nothing to do with racing to get the best weapons. OT: If you suck, you suck, just cope with it for as long as you're having fun and then move on.

I love CS, but I'm absolutely terrible at it, so I can relate. I know that getting killed all the time is stressful and not strictly fun, but I find that all this makes my few moments of competence all the better. If you never get those "oh yeah, check me out! god damn this game is awesome" moments, the games not worth playing. Just play whichever CoD you most enjoy, unless you ever plan to play professionally.

(Or you could come and play CS! Of course then you'll have a long road to competence, because everybody has been playing for 5-10 years and will murder you.)

My experience improved noticeably after I unlocked the Galil. I don't like camping very much, which invariably means I'm running and gunning. I've found the Galil to have some of the least amount of recoil when firing fully auto. Combine it with a silencer + Ghost/Ninja perks to stay invisible.

I was generalizing about the pick up better weapons as you go style, but it is at least a little about that.
