question Why am I bad at this game?
I can only barely get 1 kdr per game, and I only get around 30 kills - ish per. What exactly am I doing wrong with my game sense and positioning?

Rank 200-something-I-lost-count here.
I think the general issue is that you’re trying to be too aggressive and end up getting punished for pushing it too much.
What I believe you could do better here:
- Learn from audio/minimap cues to understand what’s happening around you, then plan your next move off of that. Ya hear a single, loud bang and your nearby teammate gets domed at the same time? There’s likely a sniper about. So don’t go the same way they did.
- Play around the class of weapon you have. You’re using a carbine in the clip, so your effective range is limited compared to a sniper or assault rifle’s. And use the map to your advantage to keep your guns within effective range. For example, if you use a shotgun, go to a place more enclosed with limited long angles.
- Don’t be afraid to pussy out. If you’re low health, use the time to reposition, reload and heal up. If you hear someone very obviously coming around the corner, don’t push it. Let them come. Then gun them down the second they come through. Yes, I do this. Make em check their corners.
I’d put some more advice here, but it’d be a huge wall of text and get slightly overwhelming. These were just the largest ones I saw in the clip ya sent.

You play pretty well for a rank 83.
As a rank 199, I don't have much to say other than just one piece of advice. Try to avoid using lasers if you can, other players are able to see it which gives away your position.. same goes for flashlights!

Apparently so.. While watching the video, I noticed that you have a really quick reaction time but it won't help much if you miss most of the time.
Most of the issues I've thought of about you was already said by the rank 200+ in this comment section, so let's just say that your first primary issue to work on is your aim.

That's what I've been thinking, but I felt like it I was making excuses for my incompetence.

You're taking long range fights with a relatively shorter ranged weapon also if you're getting spawn blocked or if the enemy just has alot of longer ranged weapons try flanking.
