that is not only in the direction of Coop but also with each other. but you are right that we are perceived more as annoying and stupid. this is also true for most of the other coop servers, which is why i only played at vg for years because the other servers are kindergarten.
but i have to say my deployment experiences weren't better... ^^ it's more chaos and it's much more toxic. I think because the elitist feeling is very high. you can define it very well by devaluing others. whether noob, coop, sniper,... trigger words that can be used to enhance yourself. because you are better.
your squad is better than the guy with the sniper kit that's why people laugh at him, deployment feels better and more tactical than coop and laughs at us. but with a sniper kit on kokan i am often number 1 and can secure a flag almost on my own. and with coop it is sometimes more tactical because there is no chaos and confusion on both sides. maximum on one side...^^
and I also think at deployment you are often "against each other" in groups... because you fight against each other. we play together... as a team against bots. the inner attitude is a little different. we have nothing to loose because that are bots... they have pride and glory that has to be defendet against other humans...sounds stupid but I see many rivalries in PR... but at coop they are much lower.
