Seriously don't know how some of you have gotten like 4000 points on this already, I'm struggling just to get 500. Did you guys spend a shit load of hours on this or are you just that damn good.
I'm lucky to get 15 or 20 kills in a match. And at what level do you the sniper rifle?

I was averaging about 4-6 hours a day over Spring Break (away from my PS3 now, since I'm back at college).
Still, it gets easier to rank up as you rank up, because it's a lot easier to maximize your points. Kills aren't the only way you get points. Whenever you revive someone (Medic), whenever you fix up a machine gun turret or ammo box (Engineer), whenever an automatic turret you set up gets a kill on your behalf (Engineer), etc. - that's +1.
Add to the fact that whenever you get mission medals, it increases the number of points you get for that mission. I think you get +3 in Body Count for every kill instead of +2 (+1 for the kill, +1 for it being during Body Count, +1 for having the Body Count Medal [forget what it's called]).
And, of course, the weapons you get later add to the fun. I love playing as Saboteur with his SMG. Spits out a lot of bullets in a short time, and it makes it easier (to me) to get headshots.
Finally, play longer games. By playing longer games, you get more points, and you can benefit from the 1.5x bonus if your side wins. I think I was sitting around 100-150 in my best games; 20-40 in my worst (trying to level up classes I don't care for - I hate the Engineer and his shotgun).
I think I was sitting between 35-50 kills a match, though. But, you'll get more kills the more you play; I was getting the same amount of kills as you when I was your rank, so I guess Killzone 2 is just weighted more towards higher ranks when it comes to points.
And, you get the Sniper Rifle when you hit General (2800 points or something).
I was speaking idiomatically.
