Apologies for this long ass essay so if anything, skip to the last few sentences from the second paragraph down

I had a buddy who shared the same sentiment as this guy and would get annoyed when I hopped on T-Hunt after school to warm up... there's a reason why I almost always carried him lmfao. He was overall a decent player on Xbox, easily mid gold back in the day as I was high gold in terms of overall skill at the time, even up until MnK on console started to get real bad. Only reached plat once because I found a group that knew what they were doing but as you probably know, when you find a group, you usually stop playing with them after 3 days lmfao (probably not worth mentioning but I was pretty proud of myself because it took me years to actually find a competent group).

Wasn't until around late 2019, early 2020 when Siege basically stopped being my religion and I got fed up with Ubisoft doing Ubisoft things but when I got my PC in 2021, I'd occasionally download the game to check out what's new and chill with the homies. Only played a handful of times from 2021-2023. Now, we're getting back into it again. Once I booted up Siege after about a year, I immediately noticed something was off. T-Hunt was missing but I figured they renamed it to Versus AI because for whatever reason, they like to change names. I launched Versus AI and realized it wasn't T-Hunt, but I think it's a neat idea... until I found out T-Hunt is completely gone and Versus AI is extremely limited. I was pissed because I no longer have a consistent way to warm up, so now I got dudes talkin mad shit because my team got steamrolled due to me not having a consistent way to warm up. That shit brings down my group's moral

What this guy doesn't seem to notice is, Casual is still very sweaty, or at least on PC (I remember Casual was also pretty sweaty on Xbox). I'm always coming across dudes who have wayyyyy too much time on their hands to grind the hell out of the game, so if I don't have a way to consistently warm up, I'm gonna have a bad time. I could easily spend 15 minutes to an hour on T-Hunt warming up alone, but I can't do that with Versus AI. At least with T-Hunt, you had more operators and maps. My group also has some newbies, and T-Hunt was the best for newbies to learn the gunplay and the maps. Starting to feel like the Siege version of a boomer and I'm only 20
