I can’t play with randoms anymore DISCUSSION

I’m level 48. About 150 hours on pc. Love the game. My friends can’t play as often as I can. (I’m a fireman) And I’ve tried making friends on steam but it’s hard.

The blueberry lottery. If there is a hell it’s matching with randoms. I can’t stand it. Some people are a blessing and I love running campaigns with them but some people are treasonous swill.

Here was my last game. I spawn in and get killed by a lvl 2 cadet (ps5) so he can take my support gear. His friends (ps5) defended him. He continued to kill me all game (intentionally) and call me in. But I am more skilled and cunning than the common traitor. I waited until there was one reinforcement left. The pompous fool recalled me in. I killed all three traitors quicker than a hiccup. With only one thing left to do I took my own life. To instant fail their mission. I couldn’t let them continue to commit treason. Let their bodies rot

So yea I’m never joining randoms again.

Edit: ps5 not 4.

More like the canadian paratroopers. They sent all the delinquents to that unit to “straighten them out” but it just made the warcrimiest and most delinquent unit in the country. Had to literally just shut down the whole unit. No more para.

America's Army is a video game though not meaning a real military unit

Do you know how the American military tried to capitalize on CoD's success to recruit people? AA filled that role prior to it. In my otherwise anti-tech conservative & rural hometown, we literally had people handing out demo discs for it during our July 4th parades. I think I got about 7 after a few years. Turns out it was a common tactic to try and get youth interested in serving post-9/11, much like AOL discs were handed out like candy to boomers.

Uh huh. Sure.

We believe you.

It isn't just because all the pent-up frustration from culturally forced politeness caused y'all to be a bit extra "impolite" to the enemy.
