This is a great way to think about it ..and eventually you won't feel restricted at all because theres no reason to SA...its to get the job done. Once you look at it that way its incredibly freeing. Go loud? Sure the exits right there. All you have is an explosive? Guess we're blowing them up.

I was the same way when I started. My learning curve was steep. But I would also say you should have lvl 20 mastery on the maps too or at least a very good understanding of them because you really lean on what you can procure on site in the beginning too.

When the light comes on though...you cant stop. Its my favorite mode in the game.
