I also buy my Black Ops versions of COD used(and the Modern Warfare versions new) so I can relate. But the trick is to not jump right into deathmatch multiplayer when you get the game. Take some time to learn the adjusted/newly tweaked controls by first going thru the campaign or playing online multiplayer modes that don't focus strictly on killing such as capture the flag and domination. If you simply must jump right into deathmatch then do free for all. That way it will be a much more leveled playing field since you won't have to worry about being team killed and you can get a fair amount of kills while others are battling each other, regardless of what gear you have so far.
