    Welcome to the game! It’s great to read there are parts that you are enjoying. Try not to get too disheartened. There isn’t really a team balancer in the finals (except in ranked), so you’re playing against people with 100s or 1000s of hours. The good news is that it should start getting easier from here.

    I would suggest playing more of the quick play modes to start off with, especially quick cash and head 2 head, which are more representative of how world tour plays. In all quick play modes, you have more freedom to play around with different load outs and can change between heavy, medium and light.

    At this stage, you’ll still be learning the different maps, and how the game flows. Remember to stay near your team. Try to create brief 2vs1 against enemies, and learn how to get out of fights when you are outnumbered.

    I love this game but it can be rough for new players, just because of all the different ways you can die. If you’re used to normal FPS, it’s tough to get your head around the fact that the massive building next to you might disappear in a couple seconds. Enjoy it for what it is, and take a break if you get frustrated

    It’s a weird rule to have when not explained. Seems like a weird thing to have as a bannable offence, but here is one possible explanation: Jeans are made from thick cotton. Cotton is slow to dry compared to polyester. Cotton when wet is also a very bad insulator, when compared to wool. Wet clothing can also increase chafing. So when hiking and you get wet from rain, streams or sweat, there are other clothing options that are better suited, and in cold climates, it could even be a safety issue.
