With recent releases like Star Wars Battlefront, BF Hardline, BF4, and now the reveal of BF1, I think there has never been a better time than to be a casual gamer (or any gamer for that matter). The games look and sound fantastic, adding to an unparalleled immersiveness for gamers. Gameplay is great thanks to accommodating all skill levels and narrowing the skill gap by making in-game elements generally more accessible, not less. Finally, practically all time eras and genres are covered, ranging from WW1 to modern conflicts to battles that occurred a long time ago, in a place far, far away. ---

Lockons aren’t needed in BF1. Much as in SWBF and BFHL, the aircraft in BF1 can be damaged by infantry weapons (ground fire). It also helps that the aircraft will fly slower and lower to the ground compared to their BF4 counterparts. ---

Swbf sucked so bad that EA hadto drop the price less than a month after it came out ---

I am a casual gamer, in the sense that I listen to Jimmy Fallon/Seth Meyers etc/multitask while playing. But at the same time I don’t like ‘crutches’ to give me an advantage over others. Even when I play pay-to-win F2Ps, I still like to stick to my weak free default weapons to go against opponents with their uber paid-weapons. My k/d is the record lowest for any human being, but I play FPS because I enjoy the challenge and laughs, and not for the stats/numbers. The numbers that I do care about are the ones on the stock market and my bank statement. I stopped finding anything exciting with the newer games, so is very happy to stay with the current and older games until these die. ---

> [@Lordmang4](#): > > Gameplay is great thanks to accommodating all skill levels and narrowing the skill gap by making in-game elements generally more accessible, not less. I just can’t fathom this “casual” mentality. Even when I was complete garbage at these games I still enjoyed the challenge of playing against better players. It’s because of people like you that half the players of every server I join are people who don’t even know what the purpose of the game mode they’re playing is. If you want to be a casual, don’t play a team-work based game and instead, go play The Sims 4. ---

If you’d like to donate money for me to buy a game like The SIms 4, then I will. Otherwise, I’ll just ignore you and buy and play any game that I wish. But if you don’t like camping snipers in the servers that you join (who don’t know or care what the purpose of the game mode they’re playing in), then I get you.
