Hot take: Game is too hard to be enjoyed casually
I've returned after a year or so to see what the new update is about.

Disregarding the absolutely awful menu I've not had a good time at all.
Currently ranked at 3 star MMR I tried 6 games with a trio and we lost every single fight. Not the match, but the first fight we got into.

I always get domed from 50m+ by a guy I can't even see. It just feels like the game is not casual anymore. I haven't had a single good shootout since I came back, just always get instantly domed.

Is that just unlucky ? MMR in the team was all 3 stars.

I've only ever played the game casually and I've never had such a bad time.

Game is more casual than it ever was.

You are probably just a victim of bad matchmaking.

I mean if you only have time to play a few hours a week, yea this game is going to be an uphill battle. Battlefield is a great game in terms of being able to get in a game, die quickly and get right back into the actions in seconds.

This game does take a different skillset then most shooters, in terms of mechanics, it's alot more casual when compared to CS:GO, R6 Seige, Valorant, Apex, etc. In hunt, you can hide in a corner and one shot kill a 1K hour player with a shotgun or two shot someone unaware out in the open with most guns. The problem is knowing where to camp effectively, how to get to places without making as much noise as possible, and playing to the strength of your loadout. Not saying having good aim isn't important but knowing how to place yourself is just as important if not more.

It takes a lot of time to play & learn this game, you will die a lot everybody does I'm a casual player myself I play Solo. I've been playing this game since alpha 2018. I do not care if I die I do not care about KD /Stars. As I find the game fun to play nothing like it on the market it's unique. So adapt, Improvise & Overcome :hunter0:

You say you play the game casually but have 1,167.2 hrs on record, that ain't exactly my idea of a casual gamer.

Sadly the game is pretty casual. It is only tiny remaining aspects of its roots, the fact it is very time consuming, and perma death that don't make it completely "casual".

Sure, I'll occasionally die of insta headshots, but even against 6 stars most of my deaths are from extremely low effort stuff like spam (where you cannot even got a shot in because of the aim punch and speed), goofy custom ammo that screws you over, etc, etc. Skill is sadly rarely showcased in this game, at least in my experience.

The game is also very luck based. Some days you cannot catch a break.

It has a steep learning curve but its all the more rewarding. Its not supposed to be a casual game.

ESP users rule this game and have for over a year. Many other cheats are also being used, exploiting admin tools and abilities. This game is a cesspool of d!ckless cheaters.

What kind of admin tools do they use?

You need to play more in order for your MMR to put you in the correct spot. It probably doesnt help that you took a year away from the game and are out of practice, even if you think you arent.

What exactly is everyone's bar for a "hard" pvp shooter? Is it being a mil sim or?
