The Psychology of the Casual BF2 Gamer

You are a casual Battlefield 2 gamer. You are not "hardcore", whatever that is. You don't put food, work, or family aside to fire up BF2. You might find your ranking and stats interesting, but they don't define your online being. You are not your BF2 persona. Your BF2 name doesn't contain fake clan tags, it likely contains part of your real name. You want to occasionally join a server, see some big explosions, kill a few enemies, then call it a night. There are no battle stories to tell the wife, you are not interested in joining a clan. You spent good money on your computer, and it is a tool to you, not a way of life. BF2 is an occasional escape from reality, it doesn't define it. You might have owned a few other games in the past, and you may buy a few more in the future. You might have received BF2 as a gift or bought it for something to do, but you weren't the first in line to pre-order it. Frankly you'd rather be doing something in the garage or outside most of the time. You are the casual Battlefield 2 gamer.
