Thanks to BASSMEANT for this list.
1. a casual gamer on the top of a cliff with a sniper rifle is not helping you.
I occasionally pick up the sniper rifle but only if I think I can find and frag the guys sniping me 3+ times that match. Otherwise, I leav sniping to the pros.
2. you won't see a hardcore gamer far away from anything, with or without a sniper rifle.
Depends on my load out. Specing AV I prefer some distance, I'm not good at CQcbt though those of you who may have lost your face to my assault scrambler might tell me otherwise.
3. a casual gamer spawn camps because they have to, a hardcore gamer sets up an "alamo" because they can.
I don't spawn camp, but I also don't go setting up Alamos. Must be an ambush thing.
4. casual gamers tend to not like mics, most hc gamers are "mic mandatory".
I love mics, but only when it's not going to disturb the rest of my family. One of the reasons I play late night -8GMT.
5. casual gamers bunny hop at the first sign of incoming fire. hc players tend to walk toward their target.
Bunny hopping's useless if you go for shoulder level firing. Besides, my heavy suit can't hop worth crap.
6. casual gamers tend to use most of their bullets in the first burst. hc gamers tend to fire in bursts of 3.
Ammunition conservation is important. I know that.
7. casual gamers jump and drive off with support vehicles while they are in use.
I don't drive. Hate the mechanic. Though I have jumped up on a turret on occasion.
8. casual gamers who see you arming a panel, don't cover you, they try to arm the panel or race off.
Kind of split here. I've covered someone only to have them gripe that I didn't speed up the hack by helping them and I've been griped at for not covering when killed during a tandem hack. People are confusing.
9. casual gamers spawn/stand near you and fire unsuppressed weapons, giving your position away.
Even many experienced players end up doing this on occasion.
10. casual gamers face the same direction when taking an objective/completing a task.
Meh... Once again, even experienced players do this on occasion.
11. casual gamers run in a single line.
If you mean straight line... Well when it's the fastest way to get from one piece of cover to the next and the distance is short... I don't see a problem with it.
12. casual gamers don't know what you mean by "North".
I know the cardinal directions, I just wish the "N" was easier to see on the minimap.
With that listing done, as far as time goes... I might play 10 to 15 hours a week, but I don't spam right into another battle just as I come out of one that's ended. I also restock my fits if needed, chat a bit in local/corp, etc.
When it all comes out in the wash, in some aspects I'm casual, in others I'm hardcore. I consider myself casual because I'm there to have fun, but I'm also there to try to inflict as much damage as I can while covering my squad's/team's butt the best I can. There's a lot more to consider than the above points. |
