The game is an interesting mix of casual and hardcore. They really simplified so many things to make it easy for people to jump in, like weapon mods automatically swapping to a new gun when you pick it up, or picking up mods and having them automatically attach to the correct weapon. Also, the ping system makes it very easy to play without using voice comms. You can even set it to convert player voice comms to text. So easy and you don't need to listen to assholes, but ... BUT ... the actual shooting and gameplay is very hardcore. It's a hard game. It's fast and you need to be accurate. You can't really stealth your way late into the game. You have to fight and win.
