Enlisted at odd hours

Enlisted is the one here that fills matches at any hour. The player pool is large and international, so a queue at 3am takes about as long as one at 9pm - which is not true of most shooters.

The squad mechanic suits tired play better than you would expect. Dying drops you into the next soldier instead of a respawn screen, so a lapse in concentration costs you position rather than the match.

Ten to fifteen minutes a match means you can stop whenever your break ends without leaving anything behind.

Why it works on a night shift

• Squad command
• Historical campaigns
• Team battles

Right for odd hours because

The queues work at any time, and a match is short enough to fit into whatever gap you have.

Less suitable at the very end of a long shift, when reflexes are the first thing to go.

Starting on an odd schedule

Play the rifle squads while you learn the maps - they are forgiving and you will be playing them tired.

Turn the music down and the footsteps up. At 4am you will hear things you would not otherwise notice.
