This game isnt "crazy hard". Or "very easy". It's Brink. It's different. It's new.
And FYI, level 20 matches are cake. The only people level 20 right now are fatties (heavies) or mediums, and with a light engineer/operative, I wreck them. Even with an all bot team, I can usually pull a win, offending or defending. The only real tough levels with bot teamates are the offending ones, specifically shipyard, reactor, and security tower.
The difference between Brink and other generic shooters is MOVEMENT with shooting. Most snipers in other games require you to be still. Most games your accuracy is very jumpy when moving, and better when you slow down. In Brink, if you can move, aim, and shoot together, you win. It's not like COD, where the first person to drop-shot with an m16a3 wins. It's not like halo, which restricts your movement. It's Mirrors Edge + Halo + COD + Team Fortress 2 + Left 4 Dead. Probably even more.
Learning the maps and strategy can wreck a team that functions well together, but do not know the map and gameplay as well as you. Consider left 4 dead, for this example. But, a team that functions well usually wrecks players who havent learnt the strategies as well yet, but are very accurate and very deadly solo players. And great solo players wreck newbs. This is the way of Brink.
