Its been awhile but this game is frustrating

I never usually buy a game for as much as I did this one. I really liked the concept, but after hearing about the performance issues, and then realizing you can't create your character in the main campaign i thought about selling my key.
I then settled and decided to keep it. The opening was pretty good and the game ran fine on my system. The issue I am running into is I keep dying. I am playing on recruit and it seems I can't survive to save my life. I am wondering is there a way to play this? I am not some sharpshooter but I never thought I was that bad. I love the concept, but I have never died this much in a game this early on. I hope a patch comes out that makes this game more managable on the lower difficulty.

From a review I read online, it seems you really need to headshot in this game. Like really.

I've seen more than 20 streams of this game, everyone dying like crazy and I always was like "man you don't play it the way it was meant to play! It hurts to see you play this!". Then the hate embargo came in and blah blah blah. On my side, I enjoyed 35 hours of this awesome FPS (to 100% it, not the achievements tho).

It's not a game where you are Rambo. You have to hit and run. Kill a guy, go around the entire building so they lose you from their sight, kill another, run elsewhere, kill the rest, use your tools, etc. You are not a 150 years experienced military hero in this game, you are a street rebel against a more powerful force than you. Stealth is hard, they see you almost like in freaking real life lol, use cover, hit, run, cover, learn to aim in stressful situations, HEAL WHEN IT'S TIME. If nothing works, run 100 meters away then come back with another strategy.

Use cover and aim for the head. You can upgrade your weapons too. It gives them damage boosts. Don't use the SMG, it's terrible, the standard handgun is better.

Thanks for the advice. I didn't think I was trying yo rambo it but the SMG is bad, and seems to take a bunch of shots to take down a KPA soldier. The run and shot seems like sound advice. When I get time I will try that tactic, hopefully it is more enjoyable.

CandyCrush is more easy, for sure..

This is by far the best guidance and advice that i've seen in a forum regarding assisting a new player in a difficult title in literally time out of mind. These forums can be immensely toxic. Full of senseless judgemental drivel and down-putting. I just wanted to say thank you for actually taking the time to attempt to help someone, as opposed to shaming them for being inexperienced. Kudos.
