I would definitely enjoy assisting you, however I sadly don't have a CD key to play online and I'm too broke to afford the game on Steam. I have no family that can gift this to me, so I would rather ask you what specific problem it is you are having and maybe I can answer it here instead.

Have you considered that your internet is possibly slower, or connection to the server is slower than those who are playing with you? Bad network latency can lead to delayed player reactions and missed shots and lost information packets to the server causing unregistered bullets and such. Also, everyone, who has ever existed that played and still plays Crysis multiplayer was a noob at one point of their lives, so don't worry, you will be pro one day, it is inevitable! Just keep playing and you will get the hang of it soon.

Aim for the neck and the recoil will do the rest of the work for you.

Don't run out by yourself.

It's okay to camp as long as the score for your team is positive or if you are helping the team score.

you wont learn anything by camping, and most times is easier to kill a camper than a 'speeder'

on the first month or more that i played crysis online i svcked hard, most times i would start shooting someone in the back and they would just turn and kill me in few seconds, thats just normal on the beginning, crysis and crysis wars takes a lot of learning curve thats why it is one of the most skilled games out there, is not like cod when you kill someone aiming at someone else

i once wrote this tutorial about power struggle and general crysis wars tips since most of my clan members only knew how to play TIA with vehicles and svcked a lot at PS and generally at using guns instead of tanks
take a look there, you might learn something, but the most important is keep on playing, after some time you will be amazed with what you can do using the nanosuit powers and a bit of aim

It takes a little bit of practice and dedication to become good at Crysis Wars, it has a much higher learning curve compared to other games. Here are some tips:

1. Do not max out the graphics, leave the eye candy to singleplayer. Start at the lowest graphics settings and work your way up until you start getting less than 60fps, then go back down one notch. Because Crysis Wars is such a GPU intensive game, make sure you have plenty of ventilation (or you will get bluescreens), latest drivers, and you also probably will not be able to turn the graphics up too high, probably a mixture of low/medium will get the best results (personally I get 90+ fps on low, 45fps on medium, and 35fps on high, so I use a mixture of low and medium for the sweet spot of 60). You can track your frames per second by opening the console (~) and typing r_displayinfo 1. Also make sure you hav VSync disabled until you get the graphics settings you desire.

2. In the Crysis Wars option menu, open up the Keyboard/Mouse settings and put your weapon inertia down to 0 (or cl_bob 0 in the console if your in mid-match), and check simple iron sights.

3. Learn how to use the suit modes to your advantage. When getting shot at, always stay in armour mode and strafe, aiming for the opponents head. When you need to get towards hard to reach areas, learn how to strafe jump. Strafe jumping is a quick combo change of strength jumping, changing to speed mode very quickly, and swerving your mouse while alternating the A & D keys. This is great for getting towards hard to reach places, as you can stay in the air longer with this method. For quick ground movement, use Speed Mode and "Circle Jump", which is just jumping while in speed mode and swerving your mouse back and forth to get a good distance quickly, and most importantly, it does not drain your energy compared to just sprinting along the ground.

4. Use a laser at all times. Using a Laser Module reduces your spread and makes it easier to concentrate your focus on the enemies body compared to a simple reticle.

5. Learn Power Struggle tactics. Using the HUD to your advantage in power struggle is a great opportunity to improve. You can highlight where you need to go like a GPS, coordinate attacks/retreats, call out tank and aircraft locations, etc. Using Binocs you can zoom in and enhance your hearing to pick out distant stealth snipers, or you can use a Radar Scanner while defending an objective (does not detect cloak mode) to get a great idea of what you are going up against (scanners also show enemies on all your friendly's HUD in the area, so it is a very useful team tool). Be aware that if the enemy is very close by, they can hear the beeping of your radar scanning and can use that to their advantage as well.

6. When not near any enemies at the moment, take a quick glance at your map to see where the brunt of the action is. Enemy gunfire will come up as red arrows on your map, while friendly movements will always appear as blue. Due to how quick and aggresive Crysis Wars is, a quick glance at your map is almost like a bit of a radar scanner due to how much action is going on.

I could get more into detail, but this is rather good for starters. Good luck!
