Operation Rusty Bayonet: The Battle of Ia Drang

[Pvt.LHeureux]

Event was AWESOME. Well organised. Briefing was chaotic as always, but in the end it went well

Being a medic was chaotic. I hope to do the same with Project Normandy.

One thing I should recommend is lowering the players count next time, 200 is too much, it's quite laggy. 180 might fit more.

[Pronck]

Had no lag issues, but I got killed over 10 times, and killed only 2 GI's. I hope to see some recorded footage soon!

[Smuke]

Good effort from the admins, player and the server. Well organised and considering the player count - very well admined. Thoroughly enjoyed our defence of Creek Bed before our final assault on US Command (Tacticool wins the round).

[MeetTheKatze]

it was the first time for me and absolutely amazing!
perfect mod, perfect map, great community!

[snake_rus1]

Very nice! enjoyed this event a lot!
I would suggest allowing the use of squad chat in mumble though.
With 200 players u dont have most of the nametags above other players and its quite hard to communicate via local, while IRL u can distinguish ppl by their face but this has been discussed 100 times already

But there were also good things about local only rule! i really enjoyed it when i saw NVA platoon moving 150 meters away from me and I had to ran back to our defence line, find an officer and report enemy movement to him via local

Also, spawning on FOBs for US wasnt that cool IMO. The original rule with no FOB or rally spawns sounded very interesting.

Really looking forward to nother vietnam event

The 200 man ?player amount was perfect! Great event, im sure I speak for everyone who attended that we hope for more 200 player events in the near future.

Good job Oskar.

[Folgore]

I had a lot of fun yesterday. Thanks for organising Oskar!

[ExeTick]

I got a ctd middle when it was live and I couldnt come back.. I tried 3 times but BF2.exe stop working every time guess it was to many players online and to much activity on the server.

[Daniel]

Y not use the official feedback-thread?

YES! Recorded it all Like 370GB~ Footage

OMG r u crazy? 370 GB? U got a 500 GB Harddrive or even bigger?

I have no problems with my 2 TB disk btw.

And yes, u can always (well, not in combat) open map, click on the dot and see his name highlighted white then...

Nice, that's what I expected everybody to do... Was squad-mumble deactivated/blocked? Or did some still use it?

[Republic_Commando]

Wasn't planning on attending due to other conflicts, but managed to show up late anyways. It was a load of fun, despite it being hard to coordinate with 22 other people in my squad. A common mumble channel would have been nice, when 10 NVA surrendered to us in E3.
They were just bait for their snipers who picked off a few of us, kinda frustrating that I couldn't communicate with them.

[snake_rus1]

"And yes, u can always (well, not in combat) open map, click on the dot and see his name highlighted white then... "

Indeed. that is what we had to do
Personally,I vote for more realism in PR, but I came to the conclusion, that name tags are necessary for normal comms with those, who are nearby. Lets hope the devs find a way to overcome this obstacle

"Was squad-mumble deactivated/blocked? Or did some still use it?"
It wasnt blocked. Just people following rules
For most of the game I didnt hear any squad mumble comms.
And if someone used it - everybody replied, that it is not allowed

I'm sorry for not taking part in the event, I came back very late from work and just could play for the last 2 hour, but I left earlier, because of the amount of players that were in the server, I know that someones did not have lag issues but the ones who don't have a very good PC (like me) can't even play I stayed for about half an hour and my fps stayed at an avarage of 10. Thats is why I left,
I have to say sorry to Oskar the event organizer , and also the squad I was enlisted, I don't like to leave my teammates behind.

I hope next time I can take part in the event.

cheers

And living in Argentina the ping has to be unbearable :S

And living in Argentina the ping has to be unbearable :S

But the ping was not the problem I had about 280, I have played with higher ping without lag

[Pvt.LHeureux]

lol 280 xD

I had 140~, I was getting some lag but the main problem was my computer I guess, I will lower the textures to medium.

[rupeyuk]

first time on a big server game. Very impressed by the organisation and admin, especially as I joined as a "public" just before start and was totally green.

Was carnage in the firefights, very intense. Kudos to the skyraider pilot(s). Did a good job of keeping us NVA in the bushes

For me, performance was very good, which I was surprised about given the 200 connections!

Would definitely be up for more of this. Loving the PRV mod.

Thanks to all those who organised this.

The lack of name tags, the lack of "radio" comms to the SLs and the lack of people actually passing something down the line/not using proper comms lead to me leaving the game after 20 minutes.

Daym confusing... And once the firefight starts the "pass down the line" thing completely does not work. Oh well, like in real life. But there is no screaming, shouting in mumble. So yea... I guess it's a good idea, would work better with 64 players though.

Well you can shout in your mic, it works but it can be annoying if you have people in the house

Video's uploading.. another 206 minutes to go.

[UKrealplayER666]

21 kills from the same position with the, quite frankly, amazing NVA sniper, im sure i annoyed quite a few American squads trying to get past the creak bed
