Oh but I loved being an insurgent ..defending on albasrah .5

Anyway we are not trying to say .5 was better or anything like that, but it was @#$#@@$# fun as hell and sometimes its nice to take a step back once in a while. It also shows some of the newer players how far the mod has come in the past year.

We will prob. run the server 16 vs 16 in .5 (64) was crazy for maps like(mao valley x 64 people = crazy)
We just thought it might be fun to run a night or two of it. IMO .5 was and still is a great PR release. I'm thinking of running the following maps.

Airport
Mao
albasrah AAS
inishail forest
operation phoenix
muttrah city
albasrah extract

Any other requests? steel? greasy? helmand? Compton?

Make sure you name the folder for .5 "pr05" or you won't be able to connect to the server. We've got a small 16 player fool around server running ATM. Next week we'll put up a 32 man on our ded. box

Hehe allright let's see if we can't break the standing record of 152 - 0 for 1 A-10 in Albasrah.

We were just planning on doing 32 slots, because some of the old map were too spammy with 64 on them, like Mao Valley with 64 that used to be nuts. Either way I can set it up for 64 or 32 players depending on the level of interest.

Great idea with this event cant wait to play some of the old maps again

anyway to just take the old maps and convert them to .75? they did it with PR_SP with al_basara and that was pretty fun? the a-10 would be scary with laser designation now on basara.

That would be my dream. 0.5 al basrah with the current everything. Maybe taking away deviaton.

Will Tcombat be going further back sometime, maybe to 0.2 or 0.3 (+hotfix)? I want to see what PR was like when it was still called a mini-mod, not the mega-mod total conversion it is now.

(I started playing in .5, but was such a noob I hardly remember having fun. Once, about two days after starting, I pestered my squad on Kashan about whether a SLAM could kill a nearby MEC tank - I wouldn't become a respectable player until .6, so .5 was metaphorically my 'sandbox'.)

Ya and if 0.5 basrah came back it would fit the changing reality aspect of the area.(British leaving)
