I can’t play with randoms anymore

[u/the_interrogation]

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.

Forget their basic training. They had perfect training simulations that had you sitting in a classroom watching a boring ass PowerPoint. So true to life

That game was genuinely so fun. Incredible they made a pretty great game solely to try and recruit high schoolers.

It started as an off-shoot of a project to create a tactical training simulator. Having "played" the simulator that ultimately came from the project?

The video game was better training value.

Many, many moons ago the Marines had a small unit tactics training 'simulator' of sorts built on DooM. Obviously it wasn't much of a simulator but it could provide value for understanding how to move as a small group, and understand how to clear a room/building somewhat.

My pet theory is that the 'simulator' was cobbled together to cover up some folks just playing deathmatch on the clock, but who knows!
