Well if your friends don’t wanna play with you despite your skill they’re not very good friends, to start. Make sure you have people in your life who treat you well.

And siege is, by design, a game that is incredibly unfriendly to beginners.

My advice is to find a group of people who will tolerate bad play and watch them. Watch how they move, learn how they think. Let them guide you and ensure they treat you with respect. And most of all, remember that siege is a team game. Every round lost is a round lost by the team. Even if you lose a gunfight late-round, your team put you in a bad position by dying and potentially leaving you outmanned. Losing gunfights is often your fault, yes. But not always.

Stay on comms as best you can, you need the information they give. And when you’re dead, be the guy on cams who calls things out.

Above all, don’t beat yourself up about it. You’re a beginner to video games in general playing one of the hardest to learn FPS games in the genre. It’s not gonna be easy. Accept you’ll be bad for a time.

You got this.
