What I like about PR?
Everything

No need to clean the thread. It will be left there to help them succeed in making fools out of themselves. Just keep it on topic from this post forward

What I love about PR? I love the teamwork. I never had any teamwork experiences in vBF2 unless it was with my three close friends, and I've only been able to get them together once in 2 years. While playing PR, I get to play with guys I barely know working as one. It's a feeling very hard to describe.

lol @ reading the thread.. very apt .. as i was going to say "the community".. after trying out Insurgency Mod for HL2 i realise what a mature community we have in general.
Thank you Mod team for keeping our community and your mod unpopular to the likes of reject clan retards & general smacktards.

Viva PR restrictedness!

i also like it how when you take a flag, most of the time you've actually fought hard for that flag, especially on maps like Mestia... you cant just run in kill everyone n cap it, every flag take is an actual battle

I love how the mod just by itself drives away most of the vanilla smacktards or converts them into valuable teamplayers.

And I love supressing fire that actually works

Other than the obvious, I'm quite partial to the IED's.

I was playing on the Kashan Desert last night, on the MEC team. our squad was on the NE side of the map and we saw two US tanks rumble towards us. I had H-AT and a rifleman with me for ammo. Our RP was down by the pipework leading into the Oil production facility.

Myself and Rifleman lit out east to try and get a flanking shot while the rest of the squad dug in near the RP and started laying down smoke to distract the tanks.

We took down one with two flank shots, but on my reload I hit once and missed with the second.

So there we are, the guys at the RP can't help, and myself and the rifleman are stuck out in the middle of the desert, no AT ammo left, out of support range of the rest of our squad, and a very angry US tank is just the other side of the hill and roaring up like a wounded bear.

I turn to my squadmate: "This is it, wipe time mate. you go left, I go right, one of us might make it" We get ready to run as the barrel of a tank comes over the hill and traverses towards us.

All of a sudden there is an almighty boom and the whizz of a shell splits my eardrums. The US tank erupts in a gout of flame and I turn round to see a friendly tank cresting the hill behind me.

We whooped.

It is moments like that that make PR for me. The utter immersion, the teamplay, but most of all, the people.

The sound. Nothing helps you feel immersed in gameplay like dialing the volume up to 11, where every round you fire slightly hurts your ears, and every explosion shakes pictures frames off the wall.

The excitement of shooting. The reality. The feeling of war.

I like PR for it's teamplay community.

Nikolai[NL] · Post by **Nikolai[NL]** » 2007-07-12 14:35

I really like the teamplay, when they squad plays together as a team and the commander moves the squads around in a way that makes sense. I also like the sounds, the new vehicles to make a long story short I like it all!!

*wipes away a tear from his cheek* it's just soo, beautiful

It's definitely the players more than anything. Getting a good squad is fairly routine in PR, not the other way around like on other FPS. You got a good group of guys who want to work together and don't have problems taking orders from the SL. People stick together, look out for one another, and make sure and you function as a whole.

Being on a dated engine or having map glitches and beta-playing doesn't matter. The quality of the community is so high that the bugs are almost transparent.

As Red Halibut said, it's the truly epic and/or heroic moments/battles that make the game.

I had decided to stop playing PR, but when I went to a friend's house he was playing Mestia, a map I'd never seen. I stopped playing Mercenaries to watch him. 20 minutes of him and some other Militia sitting in one of the towers...waiting...Then, there's this sort of whistle. The left part of the tower EXPLODES and British troops flood in, gunfire everywhere. At that moment I decided I wanted to play PR again

Oh Wow, I was there with you! I was privledged to be your rifleman during that scene of almost doom to the both of us!

You got him, and I threw an ammo bag to you to finish him off, but he caught on to us. Next thing I knew, enemy tank is all I can see. I thought, maybe if I stay prone I can slide between the tracks and maybe I'll only get wounded. So I started lining myself up, then BOOM!!! End of that joker. It was crazy, agghhhh... but I remember you saying "beautiful" and it truly was, you're right we wooped.

Where did that friendly tank come from (by the way, we owe him a few cold ones)? I guess we were so engulfed with dancing with that enemy tank coming to run over our heads, I didn't realize we had a friendly tank creeping up to save us. That was something that, you had to be there to really understand what we experienced. Total immersion.

cya on the battlefield.
