Thanks boys. My little pain is gone and im playing GA, strike and blast again. Question though??? My assault troopers level 22 and im still getting killed with like 1 shot. Whats with that?
Contrary to popular beliefs, the game is not so imbalanced when it comes to trooper levels. I get shot & killed many times with my max. level troopers just as easily by skilled low-level snipers for example.
Of course, you have the perks of better cards on higher levels, but you'll need to learn how to utilise them (and time spent with the game will also make you better, obviously). Simply being on a higher level does not grant you passive advantages like higher health or damage reduction.
If you're struggling with survival, for the Assault class, try using Boost Cards like Assault Training (+HP on kill), Survivalist (HP regen starts earlier), Bodyguard (reduced damage from explosion & poison), and the Toughen Up Ability Card - it replaces the Scan Dart, which is bugged and useless anyway, and gives you instant health boost during its active time (even while being shot).
If you're using melee often, the Brawler Boost Card is also useful, though I've never really tested that, CQC is not really my kind of playstyle, and even if it comes to that, I'd rather just swap to Vanguard.
Also, when you've unlocked all the weapons, try each of them out again. New gun does not mean better gun, it depends on your playstyle - e.g. I'm using A280 for my Assault, and that's the first gun you get, but I like precise bursts on mid-long range rather than the chaotic auto barrage of the CR-2.
