One Life Event 05.08.11 1700 PRT

[Gorkounov]

It would be cool if this was on at a weekly (per 2 weeks maybe) basis. Gameplay is infact different as everyone is cautious and everything just feels a lot more rewarding.

For tech issues I will respond later (way too tired), but I will just add yeah we will for sure repeat it. I was constantly watching map and scores (my job, huh) and I was impressed by commanding of Gorkunov and movement of team. It was pleasure to watch, some form of tv even. We actually capped flag WITHOUT killing anyone, enemy just retreated overwhelmed. :O Really nice especially forming lines and being covered by apc (damn bug of AAVP in which you can be killed :< ).

Thanks for everyone who participated! We already have a lot of ideas how to improve it.

[doop-de-doo]

Damn... didn't make it in... videos? anyone?

[H.Maverick]

GOD FU**ING DAMMIT! i missed it

[Zoddom]

is it over already??

is anyone able to join the PR mumble server? somehow it cancels conenction when i attempt to join ....

[Kain888]

It was basically over after one round, the beirut that followed ended quickly because we have had like 40 ppl. But one pretty nice round. ^^

[Sidewinder Zulu]

So, any idea when this will be happening again?

Wanted very much to participate but had to work..... and I couldn't really ask my boss to give me the day off because I wanted to play PR.

EDIT: If I could make a suggestion, perhaps in the future the event could take place a little later in the day? Perhaps around 20:00 PRT, since at 17:00 PRT most people here in the US are gonna be busy. I realize that it would be kinda late for Europeans, but about 50% of the playerbase for PR is American and it's difficult for them to participate in this.

Or maybe do it on a Saturday? That would be easier. How about tommorow?

Sorry for dropping out Gorkounov but I really had to go.

On the event: I loved it! It was very tense! My squad thought so as well. I heard several sighs of relief when we crossed a street safely. Although I saw very little action. The few times we encountered them they ran of straight away. The kills we made where 1 frontal kill and 2 shot in the back kills

Wouldn't play this every time but once in a while its cool

What a job to get that north city flag! Seemed like we just danced around each other. When my squad swept west and moved in to east there was no one there And vica versa! Like I said before, I really loved the feeling. And it made using tactics like covering position, fire teams and others feel much more justified than normal.

Mortars where HELL tho! I don't know who was spotting those for MEC but hats off to you! Thats what got my squad in the end. We survived pretty long 1.5 hours but than a mortar hit between us and we lost half the guys.

On the team: I missed inter squad communication on Mumble and clear CO orders. In the beginning it seemed you had a nice plan but it got quiet later on. I have the same sometimes so its not to flame you. But thats something Id like to try on a next event. More team coordination. As I didn't really know what happened with the other squads. I had to go by there squad-screens.

[Kain888]

Haha Cyber I saw your nick grey for like 4 min and half of your squad, I was like: "oh so they over", shame were doing nice. And then I saw you just coming back to life and fighting. D: Was fun to watch I was trying to figure out what are you thinking lying there. ^^

[Zoddom]

didnt anyone have a problem with connecting on the mumble server???

[Lugi]

The few times we encountered them they ran of straight away.

Lol. But that seems far more realistic than current pewpewpew until one of the sides is completely wiped out. Geez, too bad I could not be there. I've never seen anyone retreating in PR. btw. Cyber you're a born journalist.

[splatters]

Damnit! Couldn't make it!

Really wish some people took videos

[qwert]

I recorded some videos, but when I started recording I lost all sounds - I didn't hear mumble, voip and in-game sounds. It was a stressful experience.

thanks our whole squad hid for an hour spotting for mortars in north city. then i had an in-game "heart attack". all in all, it was a great time, kudos to kain for admining and for everyone playin fair, cant wait until the next one!

[Arnoldio]

The most exciting moment was the first minutes of Muttrah for my squad. We set up a TOW and AA in the middle of the road, but inbetween the streets, so no sniper could get us from the hills, right after we finish setting up, an attack huey comes strafing right down on us so we all screamed like girls and went into cover. Luckily, he overshot everything and the rockets landed away from us. Phew.

haha yea! That was in the NE of North City. We swept the entire north so narrowed it down to 1 last building they could be. And they where! We needed the help of a CAS huey and some smoke to get back up. We where to late with one guy and we lost him tho But yea! it took us a while I thought it would be over!

EDIT:
Thx Lugi Shame I played the entire time I could be there. Wanted to talk with dead people and ask them there experiences.

EDIT2: Does anyone have a screenshot of the scoreboard? I could use some names cause I hadn't set up my Xfire screenshot tool

[qs-racer]

Very nice event, good team play, thanks tro my SL and squad mate ( 2 us of stay alive at the end, 7 kills)

I survived all the round on Muttrah, and we kill the half of the ennemy team 10 sec before round was stopped by admin. I played as medic and lmg for the last minute. Maybe we could cap Dock aigain

But i lost my connection during the beginning of Beirut.

[cyberzomby]

ah good to hear Racer! you where in my squad first but you found another squad when I had to go than?

[MaxCookies]

Despite the fact that I didn't have high hopes for this event, it actually turned out pretty damn great! Brought back some memories of my early days in PR, when dying meant more than simply increasing the second number in my k/d ratio.

I was in Conceptr's squad, we were defending West City in the first half of the round, then advanced towards the Docks, built a FOB, and finally, we tried to assist Squad 3 in capping NC - and failed (we all got killed by camping yankees and the attack huey). Still, it was great! Next time, though, we'll need a lil' bit shorter rounds and more players!
