Yeah, the semtex filled metal cylinders are , in essence, just pipe bombs.

That particular design is typical of Irish republicans, BTW.

Fantastic job guys...Oh boy am I looking forward to the Patch. I’ve installed the 1.4 and now have to play vanilla, so I’m missing the PR mod so much now.

Maybe its good that we have to play vanilla again, while we wait for the release of the PR patch, cause it feels like a kind of punishment to play this Rambo Vanilla Lone wolf stuff again. The no coordination kind of game really makes u appreciate the PR mod.

And I'm really having a difficult time playing amour in vanilla. My beloved Zoom option is gone and the damage from my shells on a vehicle, ain't that effective anymore.

Thanks DEV TEAM for a good job.

I am having trouble with the prone to crouch **** and all that buggyness with it. If there was a crouch to prone delay, it wouldn't be do bad, but right now people are just proning and still killing and it makes getting up and shooting from behind cover harder.

Times have changed hitperson, we live in a much more liberal society, where keeping secrets is no longer considered acceptable....................but dont worry PR is far from about pleasing the masses or staying inline with other FPS's so i am DAMN SURE the PR DEV's have lots of other .4 secrets up there sleave!!!!!!

Post by **duckhunt** » 2006-09-09 16:39

yea, pr is the most conservative with realeasing stuff. FH2 for example has media updates every week. Its gonna be awsome in .4 as noone will have a clue about anything and we'll all be n00bs again!

I think that I have a pretty good idea for the IED. If this is going to be the insurgent C4 or SLAM then this idea wouldd't work though... Ok here it goes... you could make it that if you set up an IED it would act like Claymore with the damage of an AT rocket, in other words make it the insurgent claymore, you could set it up on a hiden side of the road and when a US or UK or whatever tank drives by KABOOM! It goes of and the enemy doesn't have any idea of where it came from. I just say this because in an earlier post someone said that the insurgents would have weak guns but an advantage in numbers, so this could be a way for insurgents to be able to take out tanks since they prolly wont have their own tanks.

An insurgent side would not take that much work actually, i mean when compared with a full army like the UK.
And if done gradualy, it could not affect the introducaition of the UK army that much.
As modellers become more entusiastic and competant, seeing there work in game (e.g .4), it might even become easier in many ways.

How will the IED work? Im assuming its going to be Remote, but will it work exactly like C4 where you just throw it out and wait?

Post by **Fullforce** » 2006-09-18 23:58

I *think* its like a claymore - works on a proximity system. That, or you phone it up and watch it go.

Edub · Post by **Edub** » 2006-09-19 00:04

^good Idea, but will it set off when vehicles drive by as well? the claymores are only set off by infantry

Incorrect.
Claymores are set off by enemies, no matter what vehical they are in.

That grenade looks nice.Too bad I won't get a good chance to see it well cause it'll be blowin up in my face most of the time.

PlayPR! · Post by **PlayPR!** » 2006-10-02 03:54

You may get "lucky" and watch it land in your face and stare at it helplessly as you wait for it to blow up in your face, that happens to me all the time...
