If u only had 1 life in PR

[Z-trooper]

I would love to partake in such an event. It is extremely fun and teamwork is at epicness level.

I've played a few rounds with fuzzhead where our squad had the rule that if you die - you get kicked from the squad... Hell several of us devs were kicked without any argument or time for defending your case (death = 1 -> kick) , and it was some of the most fun rounds I have played. Of course the rest of the server was oblivious to our little thing and just played around as usual.

I have had a lot of really good rounds of PR, but somehow I remember those few rounds in minute details. I remember being wounded and my squad fell back because they didn't want to die. They never got to me before my time was out even though they fought very hard to get to me.

Agreed, IL2 is a punishing game, but I think that if this was implemented it would create too much of a learning gap for the new players. Sure the manual is pretty helpful, but what about when you actually want to start up your own heli trans or CAS squad? A single mistake would leave you a pilot down, and with only 32 people on a team the chances of a replacement are low.

Respawns are a balancing element of PR. Some things only are balanced because there is respawns.

Infantry wouldn't be nearly as useful on asset-heavy maps if respawn times for tanks would be the same as for infantry (be it 30 seconds or a whole round). I don't think the combined arms thing works out too well without any means to simulate the higher numbers of infantry units by punishing the death of an infantryman less than the destruction of a vehicle.

I would play for as long i live to and then quit.

Also what snipredog said i would like to try out

[Airsoft]

Probably go commander

[Spartan0189]

I'd play it as if I was in a regular game, just being more conscious of my surroundings, and use Mumble. A lot.

[Lugi]

Mumble is good but without all those guys using it only to talk when they're not linked, or shouting "SHIIT I GOT DISCONECTED!!11". It's really annoying.

And I also don't like the fact that it's so hard to die instantly in this mod. You can get shot directly in the back of your head and still be able to revive. I have noticed that only explosions can kill you instantly.

i wonder what PR would be like if they made it so there were NO spawns O.o

just somethin i was pondering, feedback is most welcome

One thing I know we would see more of: suppressive fire. There would be way more because people will be much more scared to die.

[LITOralis.nMd]

Suggestion:

1. One life, one death.
2. 30 to 60 minute rounds.
3. Infantry and light vehicles only.
4. 1km and the best skirmish maps only.
5. Pre-announced times in the lower scroll of the PR menu.
6. Return to the 0917 ticket loss system for injured infantry.
7. FOBs can have the higher number of objects built as in C&C mode.
8. Many Many flags, but only 50Meter radius.
9. No mortars.
10. Advertise the event in the Mumble R messaging system.
11. Ask for donations to run a tracker specific to that server.

Agree, PR is not very realistic when the basic infantry tactics is not effective against all those players who play this game for killing, not for surviving.

[iAllex]

Fear is the primary element that PR as it is now lacks.

For some reason it does seem so, doesn't it ?!...
Would be nice if we had some sort of "Hardcore" mod for curent game mods: "Hardcore Insurgency", "Hardcore ***", etc. that provide a more rutheless and unforgiving gameplay and especially bring back that element of fear.
.... But, what would that type of mod need ? 1 life (99999999 revive time), not sure about that as it does not work with big maps, and round would end to fast or become ghost-like... and if the player that died gets kicked/banned until end-round, what will happen then? other players jump in and map plays on until there are no more players able to join....

[Nagard]

Yeah this could definately be tough...

One problem though: If some dead guy leaves (no specific reason, but maybe it's not ragequit but something else) the slot would be open and someone else could join and spawn. That's not a workaround for the dead guy, but unfortunate for the opposing team. The server should be openend for the first few minutes (the warm-up) and after that become locked. And now I wonder: Is this possible? If no this would be a constant change of players I guess.

[crot]

haha, no one would leave the base.

Tbh that doesnt happen that much to annoy it only happens the odd time during mid game

[Kingy]

Id avoid the server like it had an STD, I mean seriously imagine a JDAM when everyone on the team had one life :

[ma21212]

I think it would be neat to do an event in PR where every person got only one life and when you die you get instantly IP banned from the server till the event is over and someone else would take your spot. Would probably need a lot of hype but it would be a neat way to experience it while still having a decently full server.

They did that on TG. When you died you had to spwan in main

[lromero]

It would be a great idea if it was a new game mode it would be like:

Co-op
Deploy
Hardcore Deploy

I think it would be fun so the people who don't want to play Hardcore can play Pr the way they like it. And when the hardcore players get kicked from the match they can either find another hardcore game or play regular deploy.
