I’m in servers with level 55s and other ridiclulous crap, people shooting me with laserguns that have homing ding-dong attachments and vibrating dildo attachments that appear to be ribbed for my pleasure. I have a bb gun with no attachments. I get no kills. I gain no XP. THAT SAID, playing on servers where “my bullets don’t hurt my teammates, and we all have radar” seems retarded. Should I just suck it up and earn some levels on lazy-mode and unlock some weapons, then go back to playing the game with the options I like turned on? ---

answered my own question. shooting anything that moves earns you levels way faster. I was stupid for thinking I could actually play hardcore and not be gimping myself. It’s like having to play single player to unlock multiplayer apparently , zzzzz ---

Why is there no button to downvote this? 😮
