I have played the game for nearly 800 hours, and man I am bad at it. But that doesn't keep me from playing, because it's awesome. I have read a lot of complaints about campers, so let me assure you, I am one of those campers. Hunt: Showdown allows for many a play style, like rushing in with a shotgun, duelling with pistols, or sniping from far away. There are at least a dozen weapons which allow a sniper playstyle, so don't complain about it. I have played computer games for nearly 40 years now, I'm 55, and I cannot (and would not want to) compete with the Fortnight Kiddies (like my sons...).
So I will continue playing, I will continue sniping, and I will desperately try to push my KD past 0.60 - a task of herculean dimensions.

Update: I have to correct myself - I'm not a camper, I'm a sniper. I run around, I follow the bounty carriers, I try to get into a favorable position, and then try to shoot them from a safe distance... but all the time I get shot by the campers. Damn those campers!
So now I'll change my tactics: I try to become a close combat killer. I'm fairly certain that this step will halve my already measly KD, but whatever, as long as it's fun...
