Has PR Lost it's way ?

[ArmedDrunk&Angry]

OBSERVE THE MAP!!!!! Do you see that APC that just pulled out of base? Do you see all the requests for pickup coming from fellow players, and the APC completely disregarding all those requests? Well maybe, just maybe its a bad idea to spawn on this particular APC, because he will probably not give two shits about you sitting in the back of his APC, and you will probably die

I think theres a term for that, situational awareness. But of course that requires you to process multiple data inputs at the same time and decide what all that data means.
Since the people complaining don't seem able to read a manual or ask questions in-game it seems unlikely the answer to their problems will be more work.


You spawn in a moving APC as your squad's rally point + leader just got nuked. Suddenly you realize that your own squad already occupies all seats in the back, you sit at the gun while the driver is not in your squad. Shit, you can't jump out as this will surely be your death but you can't stay at the gun either. So you want the driver to stop, but he's too busy driving and doesn't notice your message. Beam. Where's the realism
The realism is in a $10 Mic that would allow you to talk to your squad leader and then you would know ahead of time that the APC is full and simply wait to spawn on SL when he exits the vehicle.
What really pisses me off is the snide, self entitled tone of members of the community.
Yes, it's true that if you play the game you are technically part of the community but it's only suggestions from the community that are accepted.
Hugekebab, you and some others are demanding changes and essentially threatening the DEVs with a lower player base if your demands are not met.
The DEV's reaction to that notwithstanding, I'm with wasteland, if you don't like it ...leave.
No one will miss you.
Don't let the door hit you where the Lord split you.
If you think that there are improvements to be made then I'm pretty sure any positive suggestions you have will be looked at, but you are bitching because you are not happy and yet the servers are full.
iGi, TG and some others are ALWAYS full and you need to sit and try over and over to get into them.
That doesn't sound like a mod that's losing players.

Wot he said!

Honestly, I couldn't care less if half the people currently playing PR got up and left. The idea isn't to make it more accessable to the smacktard population..

I've played this mod since the first release, and there werent nearly as many smacktards then.


personally my idea of reality for vehicles would not be getting a crewman kit, it would be having to start the engine, lock the doors, change gears, reload ammo, change fire settings etc. nothing that the kit system has done has made it any more real, just made the game more annoying to play. I wouldnt mind if you could spawn outright as aircrew or crewman, as this would be more slick and would make sense in terms of reality, but the idea of running to a flag anally changing kit then running half a mile to a plane: no reality there, just inconvenience. youll only get rpg'd when yur sitting in yur plane after all that effort by a teammate anyway.

I dunno people dont seem happy with anyone here questioning any aspects of the mod, not sure how to reply to some of the more vitriolic replys.

p.s i admit the title should have been less inflamatory, but i didnt intend it to be just didnt give the title much thought. the poll i think was fine.

If you've been playing PR from first release like you say, then you should be able to see all the things that the vehicle system has helped accomplish and solve. On the other hand, isn't it a little odd to play and love a mod from start and not join the forums/community until 2+ years later?..

this is a typical example of outright unfairness in a reply to my post.

I HAVE been with this mod since it first started DONT question my honesty it has nothing to do with my perfectly reasonable argument, even if you dont agree with it (which is fine)

if you want some sort of proof, then from what i remember of 0.4 everyone always played that one jungle map over the others.

anyway I accept my argument is irrelevant, clearly most people like the new system so maybe we should just close this thread as nobody seems interested in listening to a single alternative opinion, everyone just likes to box me in as a reality hater which is total balls, I have played americas army for years, I was reknowned on the RVS forums as a reality whore (im sure people will still remember hugekebab from the rvs forums: ask dayglow!) I HATE cs, I hate quake etc.

Oh yeah! that one!

[ArmedDrunk&Angry]

He didn't question you honesty, simply commented on how odd it was.
Your intial tone of griping and bitching and demanding changes with you little list of other gripers and whiners is why you got the response you did.
If you want to see how to make suggestions for a mod you love so much try reading this thread.

That's how you express yourself and get a debate going, not by crying about TK's and having to walk somewhere.

[hugekebab]

so this guy isnt questioning my honesty is he?

i cant remember the name of the map off the top of my head but you KNOW the one i mean if you played it at 0.4

[hugekebab]

That's how you express yourself and get a debate going, not by crying about TK's and having to walk somewhere.

did you not read the whole bit before that about engines/ammo reloads etc?

if you want me to walk on kiss *** eggshells with everyone I will, otherwise just respond to my opinions.

the sense of cliqueness on these forums is awful, I have just as much right to comment as you do Ive played it since the start I just havent knocked around on the forums 24 hours a day cus i've got a job and a missus.
