I'm 35 and I'm not too old. I actually haven't played HL2 Deathmatch in a few months. But when I did, I was usually in the upper middle of the scores, with more kills than deaths.

At first, it's frustrating because you're playing unfamiliar maps and you're new at the game. But if you keep playing the same server and the same series of maps, you'll eventually get used to the maps, where the weapons are, and where the campers are.
