I must be the worst Battlefield 3 player EVER.

I don't think that there exists a single active Battlefield 3 player that sucks more than I do. My K/D ratio must be like 0.1 at best. Every time I step into the game, I get my arse handed to me, whether it is hardcore or softcore. In small maps, there's always a guy sitting behind the corner somewhere, and since I cannot see 360 degrees around me at any given time, it is impossible to react to that guy in time before he kills me. In medium maps, I can't even poke a finger out of cover without taking an L96 round in the head. In larger maps, helicopters will own me if I try to snipe, and infantry will get me if I try anything else - the ONLY thing that SORT OF worked is playing in a tank, but the enemy team will immediately switch to all-javelin and ruin my day yet again. Hell, I think that the only place where I can actually accumulate kills is Metro or Noshahr Cannals (or w/e it's called) in TDM, but then I might aswell just play Cowadoody. Oh joy. I have no idea why I suck this bad in Battlefield 3. It's not that I suck in FPS multiplayer games, though. I used to dominate matches in Team Fortress 2 and Bad Company 2. But here, my arse is sore from being kicked so hard. And it's not like I try to charge in there blindly. I try to act like a real soldier would. Sometimes, I would try to find a tactically viable spot and see what I can do from there, and then some guy shoots me in the back. I guess that if you can't find three friends to join you in multiplayer games so that you could act like a real life squad which cover eachother's back, there's no point in trying a realistic approach. But then the run and gun strategy is just a matter of how many litres of Redbull you had prior to the game and how big your screen is to maximize your field of view and reaction time, which might aswell just be Cowadoody. And it feels like every unexpected death out of the blue, I have less motivation/skill for the next ticket, which creates a situation of inner balance where each death will add more of a chance for another death, and each death adds up to the point where I'm so dismotivated and poorly skilled that I might aswell just play with my eyes shut. TL;DR, I really suck at Battlefield 3 and I get my arse kicked even though I've been playing ever since around Nov. 2011, is there anything I can do about it, or is it just not meant to be and I should go and sell my copy to Gamestop?

Welp, I think this is about it. No matter how hard I try, I get squished before I even get a chance to pull the trigger. If I go for the tanks, every airplane, assault chopper and AT engineer will be on my back. If I go for the jet, their enemy jets will instantly lock on to me or gun me down with the MG, and it's an inescapable situation since this game is not familiar with airbrakes. If I try the assault chopper, once again - every enemy jet and assault chopper, aswel as soflam and AA engineer are going to do their best to take me down. I'll get lucky if I even get to the shore alive. If I try plain infantry work, their snipers will effortlessly pick me off, because apparently all of them mastered shooting in advance by now. It's IMPOSSIBLE to learn anything. The learning curve is infinite because I die before I even get to adapt. Trying to learn how to play this game seems so frustrating to the point where I'd rather go do my taxes than torture myself like this.
Did I mention that I always get thrown in to the losing team? and by losing, I don't mean just being a few dozens of tickets short on conquest. I mean GETTING DOMINATED.
Since I can't trade my copy of BF3 in to Gamestop, it being a PC version, and I'm too lazy to sell it on some second hand site, I think I'll uninstall BF3 and Origin (who needs that orange junk anyway?), snap my copy of BF3 in two and reduce the CD-Key to ash, and hope that DICE will use at least some of the money I paid for BF3 and Premium in the development of Mirror's Edge 2.
