Technology only goes forwards (except for the iPhone 7). ---

PC gaming will always be around but I think it’s amusing that some think console gaming may not be the future. ---

As someone who hasn’t even hit your 30s yet, you have no idea what you’re talking about when you say there’s a “stigma of older gamers”. Are you just going to follow me around the forums and make yourself look dumb? The fact that this thread exists is evidence that there is a bit of a stigma against older gamers. Like you’ve never heard anyone in life, tv, movies, etc say “aren’t you too old to be playing games.” Conversely, you never hear someone say aren’t you too old to be a football fan, for example. ---

> [@DonutSarge](#): > > funny, I have the most positive kd in tanks, run n gun= way under. in 3 yrs have not found a gun that’s beast in each class. every time I spawn I have another class/gun. Actually, if you are engineer the CZ-3a1 is the beast of all beasts trust me. You need to get used to it because of the beginning spread and overall recoil, but in close to middle range you do good and in close especially it’s the king. Regarding age…we all grew up in a time period when gaming was a common thing, so if you ain’t got any kind of certain issues that makes you worry about investing/losing time in gaming, like religion, family, social issues or whatever the case, then it won’t be easy to give that up lol 😄 ---

Yeah, I don’t think there is a true age limit. Back in the day the community I used to belong to had 4 or 5 people who were over 50. At least one of them was really good at the game too. ---

I am not as old as some here, but I am older than others. I want to recount a story from BF2 on PC about those younger kids…At that time I was in my early 20’s and encountered a very young kid in the squad. First he liked my soldier name “Spongebob\_Army\_Pants” and laughed hysterically into the mic…funny yes, but it gets better. We were playing gulf of oman, and for whatever reason this server had friendly fire turned off. So I am trying to capture a control point at the hotel, battling a tank and several infantry - alone. My squad mate was having fun hiding in the hotel pool and launching himself skyward with his own c4 and parachuting back down…he kept telling me “hey watch!” “hey sponge watch!” I was ticked off at the time, but now I find it hilarious. Now that I have a kid of my own, I expect nothing less than the younger generation of gamers haha. Though my son will have to wait till he is old enough for the game rating on the current BF titles. ---
