Been regularly playing for some years now and always encountered the occasional cheater, aim hacker, teamer and the likes. Although it’s never nice it was bearable.

This season is different: Getting beamed in three clean headshots from 80 metres away with a green ar while moving behind cover… Watching such players after elimination constantly hitting headshots over 50 metres while running and jumping wildly… Getting hit in bushes and trees without line of sight… And that happens nearly every fucking match. Reporting is pointless, epic is not even trying to contain the problem. Selling skins is more profitable, of course it is.

It’s so annoying when you just want to run around and have some shoot outs, and then some people who barely know how to navigate the map eliminate you out of the corner of their eyes.

If anyone knows a nice and relaxing shooter that runs on Switch 2 please let me know. Thanks.

    I totally get you. What really helped me was playing a shitton of single player shooters.

      Will try that. The dynamics unfortunately are very different from multi player games - single player games get very predictable in short time…

      I just went back to the classics, most of which are all free now to play online. the original Quake 3 Arena you can play on pretty much every OS for free now via ioquake3 and there are still a ton of servers for it. the original Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2004 are both available for free online play now and very easy to set up. I also prefer playing TFC over TF2. also the original HL Deathmatch is still a blast.

      I THINK there’s also a free option for Tribes 2 out there but I’m not 100% sure on that.
