There are still a lot of game play ideas that can be placed in this game. What we are seeing is just "beta" combats. Maybe later on there will be certain aspects that will have you live for a longer period of time. They never had in all of these videos certain upgrades I am sure. I wouldn't know though because they never went into full detail before each battle in this game
All I am trying to say is, there will be some upgrades to your armor and weapons that will give you that extra "umpf" in your skill. I think that Huxley will have some of the upgrade types like COD4 has. If you have a gun that will deliver stopping power or like juggernaut where you can take hits more than others. Only, all these certain skills will be incorporated into a MMO Style based on your certain upgrades. That's my best bet on "Being a low level player who is able to take on a higher level player".
