My experience with PR

Re: My experience with PR

To me, PR got boring as s*it when they introduced the new basic kits, took out the minimap and so on.

I had a blast when PR still got unlimited RPG kits which were just awesome on Al Basrah and Laser M4s on Muttrah. Now it`s like watching paint dry. At times it`s even worse than PoE2 with 16 players on a 64 size map.

Re: My experience with PR

the only reason why teamwork is better in PR is because you have gigantic maps

get a good squad and ull have a good round in vbf2 easy

I like PR but after spending an hour waiting and trying to spawn where i wanted or get a kit I wanted, it just got frustrating


PR=frustrating without a good squad

finding a good squad in BF2=pretty much impossible

thats what its all about, PR penalises people who rnt in a good squad so they go find a good squad

The majority of us want a game which doesnt require you to hold the W key for 90% of the game time. There are reasons why PR is a niche game, and for the vast majority of gamers, its downright boring. Realism elitists generally engross people even more. Especially if they dont know what they are talking about.

Best games today are games which maximize the fun factor.

Best =/= Most popular

Thats the point Punishing lonewolfing and rewarding teamwork.

Re: My experience with PR

Not true. If you think about it, youll see that best games indeed are the most popular ones. For example, one might jump out and say that HALO3 is sub par, and it really is. But on Xbox360, its one of the few multiplayer-able games which are any good. So its of no surprise if its played so much, if the competition it has to deal with, is so poor (exclusing COD4, but its the only game rivaling it).

Just the way world works.

Re: My experience with PR

Bf2 is extremely popular. But is it better than say ArmA? Is CS better than CoD4? You cant say that a game is better coz its more popular. Thats just as retarted as saying that Metallica is better than Muse or Britney Spears

yea but how often do you come across a good squad?


unless you have a group of friends you always play with

in fact in PR as long as you have a good squad leader, you have a good squad. The real hard bit is finding a good commander in PR cos if you have a good commander then you go onto the next level of squads working together though the commander and when both teams have good commanders and squads (very unlikly but dose happen) then the combat gets really intense.

I can probaly hop onto PR now, start up a squad (at the begging of a new round) have a bunch of random pubbies ive never played with before and have them all working together and playing really well and having a big impact on the battle.


really at the end of the day thou you can have good squad play on vBF2, its just like you said uncommon and when you get it I find its not as rewarding as it is in PR.

Re: My experience with PR

If it's gunna turn into huge Chris Redfield knows best debate, I'm just going to kill myself.

Best game is an opinion, every individual is entitled to their opinion and as human beings we all must respect each others opinions however we are not made to share others opinions.

I think most of the time i'm playing PR, people just don't bother being commanders for whatever reason but i don't see any, apart from on the Tactical Gamer server.

I think PR was made for communities like TG who appreciate realistic, squad play.

Whoever it was that quipped that PR was more fun, because it had unlimited RPGs, I'm sorry to tell you this but PR is about fun in a realistic combat enviroment, where as the sort of PR you describe is more like Vanilla.

every game. cause i SL. tbh id rather be a squad member than a SL, but without being to arrogant.. im better than alot of SL's so i always have a good squad. though i see ur point as a SM rather than a SL

Re: My experience with PR

lol at the chris comment ^^

Battlefield 2 is better than ArmA.

Counter Strike Source is a lot better than Call of Duty 4, and a lot better at that.

Would you like me to list the reasons why?

BF2 is extremely popular because it offers the best fun package off the get go. You need to work hard to get to a level where youre comfortable in games like ArmA. The fact that people arent playing the game, speaks for itsself. Were not talking about apples and oranges here, a matter of simple opinion. There are reasons why some games are played more than others. BF2 is better at what it does. Perhaps, if you dislike the word "better", how about the word "fun"?

As for PR and its squads. I logged in the first time over god knows how many months for a round today. I saw a few elitist squadleaders who threw a tantrum each time someone did something they didnt like, and I knew that I wasnt wrong about the elitist representatives of the tactical gaming community.

Re: My experience with PR

I played PR for a bit and I actually liked the big maps and the walking and driving long distances, but I ended up getting banned on a server for TKing. Atleast... I think it was TKing. I don't even remember lol

But after that, the only other servers available were in europe which would kick me as soon as I joined for having a high ping so I just uninstalled

Re: My experience with PR

Man, in one day i missed like over 20 new posts... :)

In that case, I didn't even bother reading more than 2 or 3 of them...

Come on, when will this end? lol

This thread started as someone's feedback from playing PR and now it's a contest between Vanilla bf2 and PR... Hmph! Shame! :shakehead:

:laugh: Keep on going. We might actually get to the conclusion where everyone agrees that we are entitled to our own opinion and some people don't like PR, but others don't like bf2. But always remember where you came from... Without bf2, there would be no PR...

They're both great, just really, really, really different...
