And now I'm going through the slow, steady and painful process of learning how to not be target practice
Does anyone have pointers that might just bring my KDR into the positives? Outside of obvious things like "you are not a one-man show," etc |

I have a 2-13 KDR with my latest account on New Conglomerate
Those 2 kills were pot-shots from a Liberator |

play engineer and dispense ammo for exp at the back of a group or be a mbt driver
once you have 30 certs, stick a 2x reflex sight on your carbine
then get foregrip
compensator
repeat until all your guns have the necessary attachments (3.4x chevron scope for medic and heavy)
can be done with medic but easiest to do engy until you have the 3.4 optic on medic |

You have to fit into the role you love.
I am a light assault with a Mauler shotgun (extended mag) and C4. I jetpack behind enemy lines and slaughter enemies by the dozens.

Now it's 13-34
I switched to Vanu because the recoil on their weapons is less heavy than the other factions
I still can't understand how people playing as light assault can survive for longer than 5 minutes and get more than one kill |

stop looking at your KDR
planetside 2 is about playing in outfits |

The trick as light assault is to use rooftops to your advantage. Surrounded? Jetpack up to the rooftop of a nearby building to break line of sight and escape them. You can also use the jetpack to jump off of a tall place. Someone shooting at you from on top of The Crown? Jump off. MAX nearby? Continously jump over him and also plant C4.
Source: During beta I had a KDR of over 3.0. I play Light Assault.

[s]No, really
You don't think that has to do with the fact that you have Intel HD Graphics, do you[/s] |

i've mentioned it before, but intel integrated graphics don't really struggle much on planetside 2 (i managed a steady 30 fps on medium settings with hd 4000 before my gpu shipped)
it's all about the processor |

@Chinese. Maybe that. I also think its partly because of my resolution or aspect ratio perhaps. Im not sure. |

"New Conglomerate"
I'M NOT HELPING YOU!
Well, staying in one place (AKA camping) is a terrible idea in PS2. Avoid those 'max' class people, if you see one, RUN. |

Something else that confuses me. I am aware that there are 3 Factions to join, which is the best one? Do they have certain perks or abilities? |

TR has large magazines, high rate of fire, and fast moving faction specific vehicles (prowler tank and mosquito esf) also more beta players than any other faction on the majority of servers
VS has low recoil energy weapons and maneuverable faction specific vehicles (magrider tank and scythe esf)
NC has high damage, low rate of fire, slightly higher recoil weapons and slow, durable, and hard hitting faction specific vehicles (vanguard tank and reaver esf) also usually has largest amount of newcomers due to "space 'murica" ideals |

"TR sounds interesting."
Yes... very interesting. In my opinion, they have the best faction colors. |

| TR is the best to go at the moment, the infantry weapons are pretty good all-around. the only problem the faction faces is that the prowler is significantly worse than the magrider in a tank vs tank fight until you have fully certed anchoring |
