Contains a few factual and conceptual errors, for instance Rally Points, but overall a very good review.

A few irregularities in these sentences:
Through a combination of intra- and inter-squad leadership and cooperation it is possible to establish Rally Points; temporary spawn locations that a squad leader can deploy wherever they please. Drop one in a defensible position before moving into contact and you're guaranteed a much shorter jog back should it all go Tango Uniform.
They only last a minute - not many contacts will lead to you dying within 30 seconds of setting a spawn, so setting one to spawn on after won'y really work
They can only be dropped every 10 minutes or if reloaded at a FOB

However, that's quite nitpicky. ;)


Pretty sweet review, very comprehensive, I especially liked his install instructions at the end. Hopefully a few new players will come from this :D

They are still ingame...

Gents, this review is from someone who has heard and listened to PR for a long time, but has only started playing recently, so you can forgive the odd misconception ;)

I only highlight it so that it may be corrected, you have to nip any possible misconceptions in the bud so that they don't stick :wink:

good review with some good observations, i think it's really quite hard for some of us to really see PR from an outside point of view after playing so long. very refreshing to read.

I had the very same thoughts when reading this. So many features that are normal to us and yet shocking to people not accustomed with PR. :D

No other game forces you to acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses, or rely on those of others, in the same way.
