My experience with PR

[waaah_wah]

nah dude, just the opposite, i been saying some peep in PR are so into it they think its reality, so they make it harder to play , like taking away the mini (said its unrealistic, & try btw) took away any spawning except main base and bunker & rally point if they ever get built or set (both are unrealistic btw) took away SL spawn (IMO just made people spread out all across the board, just plainly they made it too hard.
I just like to get them to admit that it cannot be, or never can be reality, or even close, only simulator at best,
thats why we have respawns, because were not in real life, were playing a game.

so now i hear "realitive reality" i tink is what he said now, i tink its a step twords recovery....

ok, gonna tryn make myself clear since its easy to be misunderstood.
im not against respawns, just tryn to point out that making the game harder doesnt make it more real, only slows it down & makes it harder.

I believe they took away SL spawns to prevent spammy gameplay (one SL could hide 20 meters from a flag and let his squad spawn on him), slow down the game, and to give organised squads a big advantage, coz in 0.6, the only thing a SL had to do is to stay alive. Now he also has to watch for his squad.

what i want? i'd like to see the PR a little quicker games, some that i could finish, or not get grey hair with, or not have the "w' key wore out on my keboard from sitting here walking, just not fun to me anymore, ya go ahead laugh, you maybe one of those people who can sit for hours or all day on your butt playing but i cant.

1. want quicker games play vbf2.
2. walking ? .... that one has been beat to death. good squad = little walking, full stop. if ur not in a good squad, thats ur fault and u get punished for it. good squads get rewarded, bad squads get punished.
3. sit for hours all day ?? i wish, but like most PR players i have college/work and i still manage to fit a few games in.

yeah i know, and i agree, i was glad to see the SL spawn go, i just wish maybe you could spawn like on the supply trucks or somewhere that could get ya within couple mins walkin time.

So i join a game and get stuck in a bad squad & that makes it my fault?? what a dipstick answer, WTF are you saying?? do you see anyone jumping outta the full squads to let you in theres?
opposite actually, i've joined some games and have say 3 full 6man squads, and by myself or maybe 2 totall stragglers who joined the game and instead of one or two coming to fill the squad up a littel to get full kits they refuse and you have to wait till others join , and thats my fault??

pfshttt

it happens to all of us, but how else is there a way to promote teamwork ? and that will happen one round, and then after that u can join what ever squads u want. im sure if u make a squad called teamwork or voip and spam chat a bit ppl will join from rubbish squads, thats what i do.

I used to play all the time, the only server I could get a decent connection to was tactical gamer.... Until I was banned.... Oddly enough I was in a chopper headed for land, some random person said I was tk'ing on the carrier when I had not even spawned on the carrier......................................


Ban..... no kick no warning the admin didn't even investigate.... just ban.

IF you are critaclly wounded, you don't take a ticket
but say, if your in a helicopter, and your heli explodes with you in it, its a AUTO TICKET GONE, respawning dosnt take your ticket, the fact that your were critaclly wounded, whatever time it took (30 sec.), after the 30 seconds passes, 1 TICKET IS REMOVED, unless ofcourse you were headshotted or blown away in a vehicle, then a ticket is removed in the second you die.

GFG.

Which is why so many of us long term hard-core players have stopped playing .7. I been a BIG fan since .2, I can't stand .7. It's just not fun anymore.

For example, I was firing POINT BLANK and MISSED! How is this REALITY!? The weapon drift stuff is just awful.

The worse thing about it is that when you post constructive criticism in the PR forums, the admins DELETE the threads. People in my squad/clan/whatever are in the military, and tried to post helpful suggestions about what they got incorrect in .7. Threads were immediately deleted.

PR just ain't a cool mod IMHO anymore... the fanboys have taken it over. Bye bye BF2, it was a fun ride...

Threads don't get deleted. They get closed! If you know threads are disappearing then report them! And don't forget the numbers of staff on PR who are serving/ex military themselves!

Yes, there were some problems with deviation in public release build v0.708. Most obvious were LMG and sniper rifle issues. The deviation is still a work in development.

The conditions of real combat implemented into a computer game that already existed is difficult. Forcing the engine to do things is trial and error and the testers spend a long time playing with it. The time taken to encode this stuff is major and the team aren't getting paid for it. If it isn't perfect, that's the way it is, but it is better than what we've seen before as it is encouraging defensive positions and punishing Rambo lonewolves who don't care if they die ingame and think they are playing laser tag.

Don't assume that the game system now will be the same in the future. Behind the scenes things are getting tweaked, over and over. A new testing build gets released for the team to all download and play with, then we feedback on it, then it is tweaked again, and we repeat, over and over. Comments in the public forums and from the testing team are taken into account when tweaking each build towards public releases. Expanded comments in the public community get read properly, illiterate or hateful ones don't get read with as much gusto.

Everyone bought vBF2 in the first place and 95% of PR players ask why the hell did EA/Dice release that stinking pile of poop with all its problems! The percentage of people who hate PR is a lot less! It goes along, build by build towards the ultimate end. Some things go forwards, some backwards when they are found to not work out for the community.

After seeing how other people were treated when contesting stuff, I think I'll pass.

I'll just wait til I get my servers.

0.7 has had the most consistent population of any release.


wrt deviation : Yes, lots of weapons got messed up because of the way it works (almost impossible to test). Has been fixed for the patch.

Also, point me to one locked thread that had constructive criticism...

not true, v0.5 and v0.6 had a higher average player base 2 months after release than what v0.7 has. v0.7 just has more constant high peaks at weekends.

reason mainly cos of this is cos players need to set time aside to play v0.7, i mean you need a min of 3hrs aside to really play a proper game these days which means most of the playing gets done at the weekends... unlike the old PR versions where playing use to get done all the way though the week.
