PvP has grown on me over the last few months here, to the point where i do have fun now, but i was definitely in the same boat as you before that. Here's my $.02: -Play control - easier to get a sense of where the enemies are, scores are not 100% kill dependant -Play before 9pm or so - the sharks always come out at nite -Use the weapons that work best for you, don't have to use what everyone else is using -Don't use an AR - no need to put yourself at a disadvantage
