Casual ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks. I've had one of the worst nights playing this game probably ever. I'm really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ pissed man. I played in ONE balanced match in over four hours of play. Thats terrible. Either I get thrown into a match with less than 30 seconds left on the losing side of a steamroll or I join on time and its spawncamping the enemy for the whole game.

Casual in itself is flawed. It tells you to do what you want and mess around yet there is a strict win/loss system. Casual mode is confused as to what it is supposed to be.

List of my current issues with the Mode

1) The map ends after each round leading to another unnecessary warmup time. Just keep the damn map going.

2) Very little balance. Sorry but giving me minimal exp to switch to the team getting stomped isn't going to help when i'm level 150 and I don't feel like losing. Autobalance was a necessary evil.

3) No time limits. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a good Powerhouse stalemate but I think they need to add some sort of time limit to certain maps such as CTF and Powerhouse.

4) No spectating/changing teams. What if I want to change teams? what if I want to see if Faggins mcgee on the other team is cheating? Well I cant. That should be added back.

5) No Ad-hoc connections. I don't to leave and re-queue if another friend comes online. He/she should just be able to join off of me id there is room in the server. Maybe add "Streamer mode" as a steam profile preference so that people can't join off of you unless you want them to.

6) Tiny ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ matches. Don't get me wrong, I love Borneo, but when its ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 4v6 for the entire match since it's not putting new players in, that's when I have issues.

7) Not enough levels.

8) Too many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hackers. Less of a casual-specific issue but update VAC or use SMAC!

A proposal. Make casual mode into two different modes.

1) The first. 12v12, random crits, spread, etc. Pubs at their finest. Do whatever the ♥♥♥♥ you want. Map doesn't end after the round does.

2) The second. 9v9 or 6v6. Serious casual where winning is encouraged. No crits, spread, etc. Similar to CS-GO.

Casual mode had so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ potential. I like it, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell is it not fun to play.
