I remember a game when........

[nadrud]

I remember a game when winning was the key objective.

I remember when admins put the game first before being some millennial sudo-gustoppo safe space control force. What happened? Must one become a full grown vagina to an "admin" these days? How about you just stick to fair play instead of regulating conversation and ethos.

"one might think he knows a man, give that man some power, then see what kind of man he is truly"

I can remember a game that didn't mimic high school musical volume (cap me in my face).

I can remember a game when I could say something offensive to someone in good spirit and not have to pucker my ******* in fear of getting banned or kicked by some twat that got cheated on by his broke *** girlfriend who cant even get past 3rd base with because of her hideous mouth of metal bear traps that will clamp down on little he was given with of his manhood.

In all honesty this isn't pointing to anyone in particular i just have a feeling this would have its best chance to hitting home with the majority of them.

oh and i cant remember much more because of my old *** but I do remember most admins in the past having some type of Napoleon complex

but never this bad. Its like everyone is a bluedrake or something... oh wait did i just say that?

It's because most men are sad lonely fucks who dont get no pussy and when some slag throws some his way, he goes full white knight and tries to bring her into his hobbies and so ends up sanitizing the space he inhabits to appease his mate.

Other men just dont give a shit and keep up the boisterous attitude even in the presence of women.













And a very small group of men love to shit on white knights and the whores they defend.

you are the true philosopher we need, bring us to the light, us plebs will follow you.

oh no, woops.

i wouldn't say its the game as much as the community that surrounds it.
more people we get, the more of 'this years memes' come along with it.

it isn't nessescarily a bad thing although it's def. not needed, but PR has been free of these 'memes' for awhile... spiderman aside.

so it's not a surprise, but at the end of the day all we can say is 'oh well..' and keep playing the game that we all love

This.

You see, OP, when I started playing in late 2009 the people who played this mod were really different then the ones playing now. What do I mean by different? First, the regular player base were mostly from UK/US and Canada, but the ones that weren't from there were from Western and Northern Europe.
Of course there were a lot of people from different places than those I've mentioned, but there weren't so many people from Eastern Europe and Near East. I myself hail from Eastern Europe therefore there's no bias, but IMHO I had my worse share of games whilst playing with Eastern Europeans and players from Near East. It seems that it was mostly because of their somewhat problematic understanding of English. Some may say that your english doesn't need to be that good anyways to play this game, but the better it is, the more possibilities it opens.

And second, the attitudes of players (as we know, PR is and always has been kinda serious business). Actually I should have mentioned this first as it's a more
important aspect then language. Because if you have a good attitude then you can easily fill the roles where you don't need to speak that muc h (every class except SL, medic, AR, HAT and possibly breacher).

I think that the attitude has changed mostly because there aren't any good regularly playing SL's left (that I know of). Back in 2010 I remember that there was almost ALWAYS a good SL playing, and people were seriously waiting in lines to get into his squad. I'm talking about SL's who had zero tolerance for bullshit, for people joking around, doing stupid stuff they could do in Garry's mod, but the most notable thing that made them differ is the fact that they went into battle with knowledge (map knowledge, game sense and the most important aspect - they talked to their squad, sometimes giving individual orders, and everyone complied - there was no need to constantly repeat themselves). Nowadays when I squadlead in PUBs playing with randoms (which I actually don't do anymore that much because really fucking terrible squad mates I get) I don't hear these eager voices ready for orders, ready to help me out and help themselves out. Whilst playing SL nowadays I get so apathetic that I sometimes just quit. Why? People have their limits. I for one can't repeat myself that many times if noone is there to listen. I can only tell my squad to stay together 5-10 times before I understand that they're not here to do that. They're here to play their own version of the game.

So the once great king, the squad leader, is dead. Let's welcome the new king - the mythical lone wolf. Actually I think that this is a general problem with gaming - games catering towards younger/more stupid players and their needs, not the collective needs of people gaming together whilst communicating. And therefore we get more and more players who don't come with open minds that are ready to siphon the knowledge of this game.

Hope I don't sound too racis', as they say. Not my intention. I'm just pointing out my observations.

It took me a while to get it, but holy shit I want it for a nickname.

No but srsly, it is not sooo bad, occasionally I still get people with half a brain in my squad, which is nice.

[Captain Fubar]

Not to detail the thread but why exactly don't people like bluedrake in this community that much. I've played with him a few times and he was a pretty great squadlead

[sunshine2241991]

dont do that
dont say that

BD is good at youtube and decent at PR, it's not as much of hating bluedrake as it is hating FCV.
because FCV tends to be full of green-players, children who aren't serious, and stuck up admins. especially now than before.

atleast thats what i've gathered

[Tommygun]

Post 7 from Mouthpiece...pretty spot on I'd say. Ill keep playing anyway

Yes, but most of the time FCV is the only server with people in it (at least in my time zone)

Mod: Project reality is a great idea. A game that does not really preach reality, but rather teamwork.

The negative point of Mod: the freedom that the disciplined player has inside the server, an irresponsible player, troll and vanilleiro also has. That's why today, most rounds played on public servers, are becoming demotivating.

Server rules are not enough to maintain a minimum standard of teamwork.

[QuickLoad]

indeed, comes down to self discipline.
SL's cant discipline his/her member if they do not discipline themselves - becuase then the member will join another squad and just fuck around over there.

also, admins need to continue having good discipline. things get annoying when a server rule says 'no heavy assets until 20v20', and an admin says 'type !admins and then try to argue with me.'
corruption will be downfall of most staff, although playerbase will always be here.

if a server dies, the playerbase moves to another server, so ultimately just be a good and nice player.

A single disciplined squad is not able to save the team if the other squads abuse the "GIVE UP" button when they die in a stupid way.

The human being is flawed by nature, which is why the mod itself should self-organize the teamwork within the servers. And do not let this important detail be handled by players and server administrators.

[Murphy]

Unfortunately you can only force teamwork through game mechanics or server rules. It seems like PR dev team has been able to use mechanics to get players to work together (medic, rally, fob, trans etc) up to fairly recently. The last few waves of new players has poisoned the well. You can only rely on game mechanics to a certain point as there are only so many variables they can control. We will never be rid of the glory seeking lone-wolves, even being kicked for not having a squad doesn't work.

Yeah, once people like Murphy joined PR it started to go downhill.

I can confirm that this statement is true.
