I’m an average player. I bring a 1.5 K/D to the table and I’m OK with that. What I’m not OK with is the nightmare that is the Beta. I know it’s called Beta for a reason, but… I played only 3 games and managed only 13 kills and… well… I won’t mention how many deaths because it’s absolutely absurd.
Regardless, it only took me 3 games to uninstall the Beta from my hard drive. Anyway, I’m posting this as feedback. You might call them gripes from a disgruntled player and I’d agree with you 100%.
• Take away shields and armor since you die within 2 seconds of the first shot from just about any weapon. They’re obviously not serving their competitive purpose. Too often, I died faster than I could figure out where I was being shot from!
• Take away the ability to commit suicide or (at the very least)
- make it count towards that player’s K/D and not the team’s overall score,
- kick them from the game if it happens more than a specific number of times in one match,
- if there’s a developing trend (as a way to decrease their K/D to secure optimal future matchups) ban those players from matchmaking permanently 'cause those people suck!
• Match up people base SOLELY on K/D (Suiciders Not Included). This alone would make for a much more competitive and enjoyable experience instead of getting your -Yoink- handed to you by individuals/teams of a much higher caliber. I’ll put it like this, the last game I played, my team lost and we hadn’t even broken double digits. Soooo not cool. 
I’m sure my decision is based on the facts that I’m highly competitive, prideful and not a gracious loser what-so-ever. Simply, it WAS NOT an enjoyable experience. I’m really just looking forward to the campaign and (hopefully) the return of Firefight. Do the game justice!
