i just about to experience this mod online

for now i was just testing maps and game mechanics a little without other players...
2 things that are strange to me is :
1. no muzzleflashes.When I shot weapons i don't see any muzzleflashes - strange,is it only me or is it a bug.
2. MEC spec ops weapon (ak101 i guess) has no sound,i dunno if you were trying to make silenced weapon (that's what my brother thought "Wow mec has now silenced weapon!!") but even silenced weapon makes a sound

so is it silenced weapon or just another bug??.now i am gonna try online

in answer to #1, in RL there is more smoke then muzzle flashes when you fire a gun, movies gave you a bad impression

muzzle flashes is very little, it was intentional and not a bug.

#2Yes the MEC specops weapon having no sound is a bug, the devs are already aware of it and im sure will be fixed in PRMM.3

Welcome to the forums

and also,

Finally i was playing online today

this mod is so great

altought grenade launcher is a bit confusing

tanks are great,weapons overal are great.I wonder if you'll be allowed to unlock other weapons from BF2.Today it reminded mi Desert Conflict for bf1942,old good times but this one is much much better.Thing that bothers me alot is that there's not many servers and people playing this awesome mod :/.Can't wait to see british forces...

P.S. Oh Yeah!! i see BLOOD

I guess i'll drop in my 2 cents as a newb to the formus as well. I've been following PRMM since version .1 and it's one of the reasons why i keep comming back to BF2. I think there's about 90% of the PRMM i love. No Cross Hairs, increased damage, more realistic accuracy on most weapons, ect ect.

A couple of the more recent changes though i'm not so sure i'm a fan of. The new sounds while although a nifty addition don't sound that realistic to me. If you say you went out to the range and recorded them, then i'll accept that but, i've operated AR-15's and AK's on ranges, and IMHO the M16 sfx don't have that charateristic "high pitch twang".

Also i doubt you care, but... because sounds in the lower frequencies travel with less disruption, they can be heard from longer distances than higher pitches at the same volume.

About my only beef with PRMM that isn't cosmetic, are the sniper rifles. Is it me or are they the least accurate weapons in the game? I can honestly shoot more accurately and consistantly with every other weapon in the game. The M16's being the best of the crop IMHO. I'd really like to see the effectiveness of the sniper rifles increased, because at the moment they're pretty much useless.

anyhow...

great job guys & gals involved.

i agree about sniper rifles...they're useless right now.

I really like the new weapons noises (except for MEC spec. ops of course

The only thing that needs changin is the red dot scope on the usmc carbine (m4?) Luv the gun but the red dot is kinda messed up. Either put a red dot on the targets (laser like) or just make a reticle in the middle of the scope i think.

no crosshairs and no health bar are 2 of the things that attract me to BF2 PRMM.

in fact i have swicthed crosshairs off in OFP thanks to the great feel it gives in this mod.

i didn't like or understand the bleeding thing at first, but now i find it a very quick intuitive way to tell health (ie hit or not hit). besides with then new lethallity of the bullets your more likely to die when hit rather than just lose health.

IMHO the guns still shoot too accurately from the hip (especially the m4) but at least the effective range without ironsights up is about 20m (game space) max.

This is a temporary fix, the sniper rifles were overpowering before, (no one used anything else) will be made accurate again when a solution is found.

Ahh, well as a shooter myself i find the most difficult aspects about being accurate deal with the little stuff that you never see replicated in games (or at least very often) Breath control, sqeezing the trigger properly, fighting the urge to flinch, effectivly judging the range and wind..

Ultimately i'd say that the best way to prevent a sniper rifle from being overpowering would be to make it challanging to use, not frustrating. It's gotta be something you can learn to be good at rather than just lucky. Give players Elevation & windage dials, and start the rifle zero'd to a range of 200 meters. Make the sights hover a bit rather than be rock steady, and have them tie into stamina, and health and body position (prone/sitting/crouching/standing). You could even have the gun firing be delayed by a tenth of a second or so to simulate the fact that in reality the shooter would have to slowly squeeze the trigger, and not just yank on it the second they had a firing solution. *shrugs* oh well anything other than "make the shot placement be inaccurate, random and unpredictable"

most of that has been propsed but it hard to put in the game
