Why do you appear to be so bad at your own mod?

Do you guys actually play your "product"? And I mean for more time than just after release?
Reading through some dev comments here and there I'm under the impression that you guys hardly if ever play pr.

I hardly ever play PR tbh, maybe because modding is already time consuming, and I don't want to spend all my free time on my laptop.

Wakain wrote:And as a follow-up: If not, or hardly, is the proces of creating to you more rewarding than playing? I remember this from modding other games (primarily rts's, sry).

I would say yes. I'm almost sure I'll be happy to have finished something (such as exporting something on which I spent a lot of time) whereas while playing PR, I'm not sure to find fun everytime, even if I always enjoyed playing PR, whatever version I was playing.

You're a good example of it.

We don't use our special cheats everytime.

Will the Leclerc's .50 cal have the same damage as the current Humvee mounted M-2HB's and the same overheat/rate of fire?

This one is directed to the "Patient Bear".

Can you tell us when you are ready ahead of time, so we don't have to keep asking?

To Rhino:

How many maps will feature the "new" airbase.

Hopefully all new maps coming in from this point but it very much depends if the mapper can find someone to model one for them.

Yes hehe, although you need to think outside the box to find it

I can remember it almost drove Finch to madness trying to find it hehe

Will there be changes to the alternate (32) layer of Silent Eagle? In particular to the flight characteristics of the EC Tiger and the asset distribution for each team?

Yes =p

Im probably only one who is using Kozelsk's treestands, noone else knows about em =p

Also when map is new, very few ppl aware of hidden stuff like some tunnels in Kozelsk, Yamalia underground bunker, kokan hidden rooms and underground entrances, as a map maker you have advantage there ingame =p

Its also very rewarding to see how blufor just cant find the cache which is hidden in secret room behind bookshelf in Kokan, and hear their lols in Voip once they do =p

ShockUnitBlack · Post by **ShockUnitBlack** » 2012-02-10 18:01

Underground entrances on Kokan? Must... Find...

Also, would it be possible to receive a thinly-veiled hint as to the status of Mosquil's back-up iron sights? Pretty please

Oh, and has Motherdear made a new T-72?

I know dat! It was stupidly efficient to camp behind that bookshelf with a PKM killing everyone that trys to come

Dear Dev's!
My question is: What should we ask from you?

Buren06 · Post by **Buren06** » 2012-02-10 19:52

I'm gonna go ahead and throw mine in with the rest of the PR2 questions. Any progress? If no, can you at least tell us that it has been postponed until X date, when you will reconsider, or cancelled entirely? If yes, will it support fastropes?

Dear Devs ... is it true that you Dig faster standing up? or is that a Myth??

Have you ever been playing PR and something happens to/kills you which makes you think "I'm going to nerf the shit out of that."?

=]H[= EasyAlpha · Post by **=]H[= EasyAlpha** » 2012-02-11 02:39

Im not sure if the question has already been asked. But one of my favourite things to do in PR was para drop into combat with a squad, they had it in vanilla, they put in 2142 with the drop pods, and for the longest time i was hoping PR would eventually include a map with dedicated paratroopers, or maybe a para kit ( limited ) is there any chance of perhaps seeing this in future updates or has this been totally cut out.

-thanks

Yamalia and Silent Eagle both have parachute spawns for the infantry at the beginning. It is impossible to have a realistic airborne force dropping mid-game as it would require a transport aircraft which is too large for PR's scale.

On many 4km's 100% team paradrops are possible, but not practical when there are so many transport vehicles and assets spawning at the main base.
