What game systems are you more familiar with? T2K should use a reasonably deadly combat system as it is meant to emulate a realistic World War III environment. In real life bullets kill you. In T2K players should play their characters realisticly, using cover, flanking, generally acting smart and trying not to get shot. If you are looking for a playing style that is more like a Rambo movie maybe T2K isn't the game for you.
