I'm pretty decent at long range because I pretty much always end up having to be a rifleman. However, in some maps like Barracks and Station, there's very little choice but to engage in room-to-room fighting. Even if I get lucky and have an automatic weapon, my kill-death ratio can easily go from 4:1 in long-range fighting to 1:4 in close-quarters.
Basically, the problem is that there are rooms on all four sides, there are usually multiple floors in the building, and I find that the enemy just seems to appear out of nowhere and kill me. They come from the left, right, front, behind, the second floor, first floor, basement... they just come from everywhere and I rarely ever have a chance to fire back. I just don't know what to do. Even if I train my sights on a doorway that I know they'll be coming from, they just come from any one of the five other doorways, or the windows, or the basement, or the floor above me, or from somewhere behind me.
I just don't understand how everyone else does it. What do I not know that other good close-quarter combat players do know? It's as if everyone else knows exactly where the enemy will be, which rooms they can skip past, which rooms to camp, which hallway to avoid, which window to train their sights on, etc.
