Tryhards are anyone that use the easy weapons to get kills, such as the ACR or MP7 and rush around the map going for the most kills trying hard to get the higher ksr. In many cases those same try hards cost the match because while they are getting kills they are not really helping to attack or defend and objective. So though they may think they are helping the team win, in the end they are not.

In TDM tryhards are those that use the easy weapons and camp for kills to get their ksr instead of moving about. Use a MP7 or ACR and camp in a corner to get a high ksr and you are a tryhard.

Tryhards are not the good players or the better players in most cases, in fact they are usualy the ones doing bad on their team while thinking they are doing good for their team.

To me, if I were ever to use the term (which I wouldn't), it would mean that the player is resorting to "easy mode" and douche tactics to win. MP7/Motion Sensor/C4 combos, Drop-shotting at the slightest hint of a conflict, trying to (in their own words), "roll" the lobby (yes I've actually heard people say that).

Basically when someone takes the game from "I'm playing to win" to "I have to try and prove I'm above everyone else", I would consider them a "try hard". You can play to win and enjoy the game. There's nothing wrong with that. But when your goal goes from wanting to win, to wanting to prove your superiority over everyone else, then you're approaching doucheland and it's time to stop.

Didn't you know? You're supposed to stand out in the open for these people and not shoot them. Duuuhhhhhhh! ! ! If you do shoot them, then they start crying. Same thing goes for people crying about a gun that is used too much. The way I see it, if you actually care more about WHAT killed you vs WHO and WHERE THEY WERE when they killed you, then you need to return the game and never play FPS ever again.

But, that'll never happen.

They do it for the same reasons jock types pick on nerd types, jealousy

You damage their ego in front of their friends and feel must try to belittle you

it's human nature

If you're not peeing people off your not playing right lol
