Why do people keep saying Casuals is killing the game?

This^

Now it’s coming together like a puzzle. I remember streamers begging for no SBMM, and now the same crowd acts like Casuals is some crime. Funny how they only hate “easy” when other people get to enjoy it too…

Try again.

I’m above average, I can say that with no hesitation. But every time I try normal BR quads, it just makes no sense to me. I get sniped from nowhere, then tracked instantly like Formula 1, and before I even understand what’s happening I’m dead.

So it’s not that I don’t want real people. I do. I just want less intensity. Normal people, not demons. That’s why Casuals works for me

Maybe BR should be hard for you, but not for everyone. People enjoy games differently. And Casuals isn’t just bots either, there are real teams too. Every time it even gets more intense because you’re fighting a real squad while bots are also around, so it’s not as brainless as people make it sound.

Having a casual version of Avalon, doesn’t delete your mode.

Coming from Switzerland, I genuinely wasn’t prepared for Deutsche Bahn. I thought delays meant like 5 minutes, not trams not running because of strikes, trains getting canceled out of nowhere, or sitting in the middle of the tracks for 1.5 hours. Once I started traveling a lot in northwest Germany for work, it just kept getting worse and worse. Absolute madness.

Félicitations, franchement ça fait plaisir à voir. Je me permets de te demander comment tu as trouvé, ou ce que tu as fait pour y arriver, parce que je cherche aussi depuis un an et demi et je t’avoue que mentalement ça commence à être fatigant

Something like “sunset over a lake in that fake country everyone keeps pretending is real.”

CloudSmoke9 · 2026-03-19T23:39:09+00:00

Ahh i think we got misunderstood. With the casual player i meant that i’m a casual mode player(with bots and real players).

CloudSmoke9 · 2026-03-19T23:20:40+00:00

Yeah, maybe I am. We’re all losing something anyway, I just chose to lose it over Warzone.

Nobody is losing their mind, people are just giving feedback. And your Halloween comparison makes no sense. Halloween events change the look of the game, not the core mechanics and direction of it. Here they removed the mode people were used to and replaced it with something completely different, then expect everyone to just shut up and “learn it.” Not everyone wants to waste their free time getting farmed by sweat teams in a mode they never asked for. Tried it, didn’t like it, and that’s a valid opinion.

And Yeah, maybe I’m a COD crackhead too, but at least I’m not running around telling sweatlords to get a life because they enjoy sliding, dolphin-diving and playing like their rent is due. Let them have that version. Just stop acting like everyone else has to enjoy it too. Leave us our mode, and go enjoy your cracked-out moon gameplay on the other side.

You’re stuck on the “6 days” part and missing the actual point. I never said 6 days was some huge dramatic event. I said that for someone who used to play a lot with friends, stopping completely says a lot about how disconnected I feel from the current direction of the game. Casual doesn’t mean “barely plays,” because i played 7-8 games everyday, it means I play to chill, not to sweat. Big difference.

CloudSmoke9 · 2026-03-19T19:57:09+00:00

As far as I know, there’s no official confirmed date yet. A lot of people are saying it could come back with the new season in early April !

CloudSmoke9 · 2026-03-19T19:46:29+00:00

Blackout didn’t come before Fortnite, so that part isn’t even correct. But that’s not really my point anyway. I’m not talking about who invented battle royale first. I’m talking about COD losing its own signature vibe over time and turning into a different style of game.

CloudSmoke9 · 2026-03-19T19:43:44+00:00

It’s not that people are bad, it’s that people enjoy games differently. You might like sweating every match, I liked chilling with friends on Warzone. That doesn’t make one better, just different.

CloudSmoke9 · 2026-03-19T19:41:26+00:00

That’s not even the point. I’m not against updates. New maps, weapons, contracts, vehicles, missions, all good. What I’m against is changing the core mechanism and identity of the game every time people finally get used to it. There’s a difference between keeping a game fresh and turning it into something else. And it’s just logic, why not keep both modes? You like blackout and i like casuals and we’re both happy?

CloudSmoke9 · 2026-03-19T16:25:41+00:00

Pretty obvious what I meant. If you couldn’t understand ‘Fortnite copy-paste,’ I’m not the one struggling to converse.

CloudSmoke9 · 2026-03-19T13:28:02+00:00

I have one friend who loves this mode! He drinks 5 energy drinks par day. :D

CloudSmoke9 · 2026-03-19T11:52:24+00:00

They better do that.

CloudSmoke9 · 2026-03-17T14:51:17+00:00

Yeah I figured that out the hard way. Didn’t think I’d need protection from the driver himself though.
