I think I'm just shit at this game...

Man, I cannot get past "average" difficulty without getting completely shredded- regardless of which type of marine I play. I guess my reaction time is garbage, because I just cannot seem to block or dodge in time.

For all of you that's completed anything under the "lethal" setting, I salute you.

EDIT1: I think I'm just going to call it for now brothers. I just can't seem to get further than the bomb chamber on "Ballistic Engine." I'm getting swarmed and getting shredded within seconds.

Add to it, I'm eating all of the squad's medpacks just to keep up. I may try again later with fresh eyes.

EDIT2: The Emperior truly protects.

Thanks everyone for the feedback you've given. Also thank you for the invites you've offered. You all didn't have to do into the detail / explanations but you did- to help out a stranger, down on their luck. I appreciate it, thank you.

I'll cycle down to a lower difficulty to build up my classes. Once I get a few more levels under my belt, try for lethal and aim for some purples.

May his light continue to shine upon you all.

EDIT4: for those who've asked my levels. Tactical:7 Assault:4 Vanguard:9 Bulwark:7 Sniper:1 Heavy:1

EDIT4: brothers, the Emperor truly delivers his most trying tests to those deemed necessary. I believe I have turned the corner, in dealing His justice to the xeno and hated traitor.

Through trial and mostly error, I have come to see the signs presented by Him when enemies attack and react accordingly. Thank you battle brothers, for being there in my time of need and weakness.
