Doing what wrong? If me and my mates go for it we will most likely win the game, whether it involves other squads or not. For me it's all about K : D and winning. If I have a good K : D and the round has ended with a victory I don't really give a damn about how the rest of my team did.

If you're trying to tell me how PR is supposed to be played you're obviously not the right person as you don't understand my situation.

I do call for help, I just don't expect any. I don't unlock my squad though, as smurfs tend to fuck things up.

Saxoni speaketh the truth.

The game is simple enough to allow new players to generally play it okish, but complex enough that they become cannon fodder for people who know how to exploit the empty maps, lack of penetration through walls, camping tactics, deviation penalty, HAT kit, CAS position, etc.

It is frustrating to try to lead 5 guys when you can get almost the same K-D yourself. The main difference is having a good player going AR - they tend to get about 10 kills of the 15 my squad tends to get in a round. I tend to get 4 of the others (our squad almost never gets wiped out though).

We don't have a duty to new players, although I think the game could be simplified somewhat, not to nerf the potential to lonewolf, but to make the game easier to play off the bat. We are simulating trained soldiers, and at the moment there is such a disparity between people not used to deviation and people who have been playing for years that the game doesn't really reflect much training.

Most of the time I'm squadleading, so the kit decision is pretty much not there. When I'm not squadleading I like to play as AR. If thats not possible I'd go for marksman or grenadier (if the squadleader wants it).

I die way too much since I always move my position exactly when we get attacked. When I'm squadleading I don't do any fancy stuff. I just look on the map and see what needs to be done. I'll do it even if it's defending north city on muttrah for 30min without any contact.

I am Sl and play my rounds on the mini-map. So where we are needed we are, always first looking for the flag we have and if there is a squad to defend if not or not enough we defend, using mumble and only attack if there is cover behind us.

I call the NEW server my home because it is imo the best server out there, unlike other servers they admin their server to ensure team-play. Also you will see many clans play on the server which makes for better team-play and harder opponents. If they only would stop playing INS :)

QRF server Is the same but not always up, but with awesome team-play.

What I personally hate is players ignoring the map, attacking when there is no defense and wrapping up deaths. It is a reason for me to quit a server when I see the whole team attack and no coms + no defense. Almost al servers have that besides NEW, NWA and QRF < just based on my personal experience.

With this way of playing the game my squad is normally a squad with a high killing percentage, and we try to take care of our deaths.

Basically Teamplay is what we live for and bringing us the kills.

What I have gleaned from this thread so far is this. With the exception of a few people, you are all brilliant at attacking, you all get massive kdrs and the team you are on always win by a massive margin and that you don't need any help from anyone to achieve this.

Methinks we need a new thread titled " Lets be honest with each other" cause this one stinks of bullshit.

Would say the same thing. I also dont go for kills but rather 0 deaths challenge every time. :D

No need for that thread because i assure you if i go 1v32 i win and that is honest. If you were on the other team you would probably QQ and rage quit because i bring so much ownage to the field. I would go as far as to say i have done some 360 noscopes im my time. To add, ive also found a way around single-seating crewed vehicles so i can do that to, and kill the other team. As for the flags, i raelly dont care because i kill enemies so fast and push them back so far that they dont have time to cap anything. I also rush their first flag so even if one of the other pros is on the other team, chances are slim for him. If you cant do that, then sorry, youre **** at this game and i am far better. Too bad.

Hmm, i know that feeling bro but u would not to be quite honest. Even if u killed all your contacts youd still loose due to not being on the flags. Thats just Bullshit. PR is all about real warfare, so its a lot about Teamplay, a good working team needs skilled players like you are but it needs brave fellow soldiers doing the boring stuff as well.

Heres another quote of Patton describing it:

"All the real heroes are not storybook combat fighters. Every single man in the army plays a vital role. So don't ever let up. Don't ever think that your job is unimportant. What if every truck driver decided that he didn't like the whine of the shells and turned yellow and jumped headlong into a ditch? That cowardly ******* could say to himself, 'Hell, they won't miss me, just one man in thousands.' What if every man said that? Where in the hell would we be then? No, thank God, Americans don't say that. Every man does his job. Every man is important. The ordnance men are needed to supply the guns, the quartermaster is needed to bring up the food and clothes for us because where we are going there isn't a hell of a lot to steal. Every last damn man in the mess hall, even the one who boils the water to keep us from getting the GI shits, has a job to do."

True words. Thats why i play PR and not COD or BF3, i luv being outnumbered, without any supplies or reinforcements
- against the whole enemy team. Thats the time when you can show up and kick your opponents asses like a real "hero". In 2 of 3 of those cases i fail badly, but ill kick asses at least once. Btw ive seen so many rounds of bad k/d teams winning with fullcap in about an hour... No other game offers PR-Experience.


Edit: Son-of-a-***** Patton was such a badass, first real "gangster" on earth ^^

thx!
Our server is always up, but we cant seed that quickly like Merk or NEW. Also we dont have INS, it is an AAS server only. And AAS with 12v12 is rather pointless^^

Smiley is spot on. People arent really as good as they make of themselves. Id like to think im good at both attacking and defending, I just choose to attack more often than defend. Although lately ive been doing more defending and Ii quite like it aswell.

Thanks. Teamplay and tactics whats all about in PR, on the [QRF] server you will find this.

I hope the next patch dont bring more action, but more formation-support and carefull-movement. :wink:
So we can form new tactics like moving behind tank/apc?s etc. But for now the game is still to fast, like i sad multiple times before. Value of life[decrease FOBs, increas ticketlos for APC/Tanks or spawntimes] and the HAT system is to effectiv.

In older times a APC had a higher value because of the lower ticketvalue on the maps. The developers dont increased the ticketlos according to the increased maptickets.

When this changes or equal would come with the next patch, it would be awesome!

+1


The ethos of this game of what it was trying to achieve has changed drastically and not for the better, people blame noobs but tbh its the COD style (uber l33t kill first ask questions later) player's that i would point my big wonky finger at.



My playing style?

I'm a banana, as soon as i leave main i slip up.

I got good practicing on the co-op Ramiel infantry layer with 48 bots set at 10% difficulty vs. me. You get good shooting things quickly and get a good feel for different weapons. Honestly, it's fantastic practice.

Also, CoD has taught me a few things about CQB and small-scale flanking.

We actual do and its work very well. Row/Line, Fireteams etc. But with a more action and faster gameplay, it would
make no sense anymore, its actual hard but effektiv.
