Not a competitive nor a hardcore gamer, so I am out?

Playing the objective is fine, but if you get murdered all the time it becomes frustrating. Being an asset to your team should be fun also.

  • Play defensively and slow, don’t be the first at the objectives. Keep close to your team/squad (let them be “human shields” by going first). Support/medic is good for this.
  • Always be in cover (always), use the environment/buildings/etc for covering as many angles as possible when moving. Never stand still without cover.
  • Learn to aim. Good aim can win a lot of gun-fights (read about mouse-settings in gaming in general).
