Can someone please help out a noob?

[studholdem]

I've played this awesome game for the last 2 days and have some questions. I would really appreciate your help.

1) when you go to the screen of your kills, deaths, etc while playing, what does that red X by certain players name mean?

2) after you die and while you are respawning, is the action im seeing on my screen what is going on while i wait to respawn or is it just a re-play?

3) my score is -450 or something. as you can see i can very well be THE worst player online although i have a lot of fun playing. CAN YOU GIVE ME ANY POINTERS? I know it's been asked and read all the responses but I too feel like i shoot the CRAP out of people TRYING to aim for their heads and it seems like some people just take me out with just a couple shots. is it my aim problem? any pointers on getting better?
what weapon is the easiest to use? and how should i go about using it? i tried them all and i REALLY suck! PLEASE HELP! It's fun already but I'm sure I love it more if I stop dying so much. lol

I think the red X could be that they left the game or that they died. Idk, its my 3rd day playing this game.

Well like GLITCHKING said, with playing the game more you will eventually get better. The 1st day I played it, dude, I only got like one kill out of like 100 deaths. I really sucked. The second day, I was more better, but still Im having a problem with the crosshair. Its hard to get headshots, i dont even know how I get one when I do!!
The tip I guess I could give out is to try to aim the peep inside the crosshair.

The manual doesnt really help doest it?

The red X means they've died.

The respawn action screen is what's happening LIVE. So if you're looking for WHERE the enemies are try to flip through your teammates(by pressing left or right on the D-Pad). It'll show where your teammates are, but it's also a great way to find where the enemies are. I use it for when I spawn and I'm like "Ok I just seen my partner die here and he was killed by three people"...."time to find those three people and kill them." XD

And it's tough to aim at times because you have to LEAD your shots AHEAD of where the enemy will be. So if you notice a person is running left, aim and shoot about a body's length MORE left of where he is. It's called lag shooting because the EA servers lag and if you aim directly at the person(unless they're running straight at you) it won't hit because it recognizes the shots of where the person WAS.

Once you get used to lag shooting you'll do better. The Shotgun is the best "anti-lag" gun since it has a far spread. If you're going to use the shotgun, make sure you put the settings to Manual Pump since it's faster by manually pumping the nunchuk.

I have -43 points. I don't plame you having up to -400, I use to have -300. this cuz of bad the point system is. 1 point for kill, -1 for dieing, NO POINT FOR GET THE FLAG IN YOU GOLL. WTF! The point system is done bad so I blame you but if you want more points. Use snipers are when using mushen-guns try hiting the hard as best you can, samething with shot gun.

Stay away from granads and don't get close to PEOPLE just me even your team cuz of random surer-side x_x
