Deathfield 1943

I've had a quick go of Battlefield 1937, or whatever year it's supposed to be, on Xbox Live Arcade. My experience goes something like this:

Spawn

Run to nearest area of battle (takes about 3 minutes)

Die

Repeat ad nauseam.

I'm the guy at the bottom with 10 points, from one kill the whole game.

What am I doing wrong?! I really, really want to like this game, but somehow it's just not working for me ...!
