Quoted for truth!

Yeah, I think it's HOW one plays the game matters.
The game itself can't get uninteresting - it doesn't have a story/scenario that you have to repeat every time, it can only provide you and the people around you the mechanics to make a unique one every time. And the possibilities are huge. So choose the people around you wisely (find a good server) because they make the game/fun/story/scenario, not the game.

Sometimes I can only play PR late at night when my favourite serers are down. The funfactor definetly fades at the moment when (usually after joining a non-Mumble server) you realize that your team is really doing crazy or dumb things for the luls or just because they're clueless. In this case you can try and take the situation "under control" by asking if anyone want's to work together; sometimes they just need a little push and the teamwork (and fun) can start. Well, not in the 32 people level, but at least 2 squads working together can provide a difference (fun/win related).

Urbanxfx, if it's not a secret where do you usually play PR? Also it would be great to hear this from the other guys who are saying that "PR version X was more fun". Btw, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you guys didn't have better time then than now. For the fairness of things I'd just like to say that people tend to think biased about past, e.g., "good 'ol days". It's a common thing, so you're probably not the only ones

Semi serious games are the best. A good mixture of realizing what you are supposed to do and "playing for teh lulz" equals to epic amounts of fun

Tbh, i think if not most, then a lot of people are confusing funfactor fading because new version is 'wrong'(too many noobs, bad features, no teamwork - insert what fits) and the boredom of playing PR for too long.

Anything can become not fun if you play\use it for too long and in this case the object of fun is pretty much irrelevant, you just need something completely different for a change

It's a bit like this for me...

But that being said, I've had some good rounds on 16km^2 maps but not nearly as many as on smaller maps... I find the lack of *anything* inbetween the caps makes for an extremely average experience. The fun factor is largely (almost entirely) dependent on your team though... not really too much the devs can do about that.

^ Amen to that Psyrus.

Depends on many factors. I find quit opposite for me to be true. I can't think of 1km maps that I have fun comparing to 4km. Good server and teamwork matter more than map size to me as well.

Personally, I like large maps. What kills it for me is a disorganized team.

I can't play PR all the time: It's a specific kind of fun. How am I going to satisfy the desire to race fast cars in PR?

I take breaks, I played yesterday as a logitruck driver. And loved it.
All i did the entire game was drive the logi truck from base to where it was needed, then back..

Did a few special drops for spec op like fobs and recovered a few vehicular. And thats it.
It was so much fun =P

I do, last year i was so addicted to PR, the teamwork was fantastic and i couldn't stop playing, I've found my self going 4-6 hours straight playing, now i struggle to play for an hour without getting bored. Maybe the game is just too realistic. Anyone feel the same? Post your thoughts below.

I feel the exact same way, but it isn't the game play. It has drastically improved in the last year, I just have a lot more to do in life so I have hardly any time to play video games. Last week I tried to start up pr for a good round, but I just didn't have the time to really get immersed into the game. Also the server and time you play is really important. Imo TG at 6-9 GMT -5 is the best time to play w/mumble. Most of the time when I play pr my team is usually unorganized and I don't have the time to find that perfect match.

Wicca · Post by **Wicca** » 2011-01-01 18:56

Yeah i think its quite funny.

For me it doesnt matter what i do, if im fighting for freedom or whatever, what matters to me is who i do it with.

Seriously we need the patches more fast. This version needs a commander and UAV.
Other thing is the servers have the same old maps over and over. Mutthra, Karbala... Too much insurgency. It's fun to play against them, but I don't find it fun or tactical to play insurgent. Also players need to interact more, just because they are not squad leading doesn't mean they need to be quiet.

1. Join TG
2. Get on mumble
3. sneak into a squad full of admins/regulars/devs
4.???
5. profit

How about three (three) patches within two weeks of a new release?

Oh....right...that already happened...

The developers work as fast as real life allows, they do this in their free time afterall, and show me another development team that offers the same amount of patch support over a short space of time and I'll show you a flying elephant.

its obvious alot of you are just playing too much. Try playing other games for a bit and and the same will happen then go back to PR and you will see how superior it is.

Gots a point, not even game companies release patches that fast.
Just enjoy the game for what its worth, if its terribly unbearable come back in a month or two.
