Unlike more casuals shooters, there's virtually zero fun in this game if you suck. There's zero fun if you just want to play without getting good.
Every single modern popular multiplayer game will give casuals at least SOME incentive to play further. That's why more people play them = that's why they are popular. In Q3, there's nothing, you either git gud and get fun, or you're not good enough and you will get shitted on. And the truth is, no one likes to be shitted on for eternity. Modern games always give you a glimpse of what it feels like to be winning, ultimate abilities or RNG or whatever, anything that will make you feel good at least sometimes. Here, you won't get a single ounce of that before you sweat for hundreds of hours.
And modern players have way too many games where you can get your cheap dopamine in much easier ways.
