Was v0.8 better then you thought?

[Vetter71]

First game I was like OMG they messed up the game. 15th game I was OMG THEY MADE THE GAME AWESOME!!!!.

Its like a new pair of shoes, they hurt at first, but feel great when you get used to them.

project reality 08 is a huge improvement in all areas but unfortunatly i have only maneged to play one round on a training server due to a problem with punkbuster.
the training round was the most fun i have ever had on a PR server, but so far i cant get into any other servers! this singuler problem has ruined my enjoyment of a great game

Ha, you should have heard me on TS a few night ago, then I played with a good squad of guys, and it was utter perfection!

Since adapting to .8 the gameplay is better, and I am enjoying allot more of it.

It was really nice to finally see Korengal full of people. So many little fire fights all over

[OkitaMakoto]

Better, way better. As soon as we started getting full 64 player servers it has rocked. A bit buggier than I hope/anticipated. A lot of performance problems, PB kicks, inability to start, etc. But the infantry combat and mechanized infantry experiences have blown my expectations away.

Had my clan mates play PR for the first time last night and they couldnt stop creaming themselves over how good it is. The only downside they mentioned in passing was the lowered sprint changes. BUT, immediately after saying that, they praised it at how well it kept the squad together and how it rewarded and almost forced leap frogging towards objectives!

All in all I am VERY pleased. The only thing I could ask for would be getting the little bugs sorted But, all in due time, and it seems like there are quickly becoming more and more fixes/tweaks to help people with these problems.

Way better. Some areas still need improvements/adjustments but overall I'm starting to feel like I'm actually IN the war and not just playing a war game.

And the sounds? They're awesome, especially the explosions of the nades and artillery. They actually make me afraid. After a near-death experience from an artillery strike I found myself saying over the coms, "ok, that was frick'n cool.. did you hear that? wow."

[Brummy]

A lil' bit better than I expected.

[Phoenix.86]

The whole package we got with .8 was amazing. A lot more and better content than most of us thought, a gameplay that promotes tactical maneuvres and teamwork even more than ever before. That's why so many people say it feels like a whole new game - also totally polished, more than all previous releases (at least i feel like that). The only things i don't like is the rally point overrun - feature and the strangely high insurgent spawn times that i don't quite understand (collaberator anyone?}. Apart from that awesome job

Yeah but you should have heard eddie on a different night, cursing the new deviation and us getting owned

Me personally, what I thought it would be like, if not a little better, had to get used to the gameplay, but when I did, I was pleasantly surprised.

[Eddiereyes909]

Ha, yeah, well like many other players I had to adapt to the changes of the mod inorder to enjoy it. Since then, my gameplay level of awesome has more than doubled.

I am 2 x more awesome than before

I love everything about it apart from the four issues:
1. You sprint like a stoned sloth. And have about as much stamina as the 1 tonne man.
2. You aim like a blind 4 year old cripple who has weak arms.
3. Rally points are incredibly easy to destroy.
4. Kit limitiations in no way reflect a RL section set up.

Agreed on those 4 issues. Being ex-military myself we ran every morning it would have been no issues for me and my squad to run with full packs for miles. And half the fun was looking for the rally points.

[Cassius]

Though there are some things I prefer in 0.8 it has been a great update, but its too soon to tell how the changes in kits rallies and commander will play out. Some routine needs to set in.

[oniblood]

Alright I have been along time player of PR I love almost everything about .8 except for the sprint. Basically you have very limited sprint and a long recharge time. What good is that if you need to cross a street or need to bug out? I find it very annoying being stuck and not able to move quickly in a hot combat zone. Thanks PR for a awesome game.

[{GD}StevenGarcia]

I'm very impressed with v0.8. The I'm glad to see the gameplay slow down because the frantic pace of earlier versions is what turned me away from this game for a period.

[SuperTimo]

i like pretty much all of the new stuff, but i dont like the sudden drop in FPS on all maps, espically the new ones, i just cant see why maps like kashan where i could get 50fps now bareley gives me 20 at occasions , i expected ramiel and korrengal to be laggy but not the other maps.

for this reason 0.8 is slightly worse than i expected. But it still is a fantastic release

[[T]waylay00]

As far as content/maps go, this release was incredible.

As far as gameplay, I understand the intent, but some of the changes need to be rethought possibly.

And that dang cycle weapons/views setup while flying is very annoying.

All in all, to be honest, .8 has caused more headaches than any other release. BUT, the new content makes up for a lot of that. Hopefully some tweaks will be made for a patch soon. Then we can have the best of both worlds.

[gazzthompson]

what i thought it would be, but i thought it would be best release yet.

[Symplify]

Sprint = EPIC FAIL
Animations = Pretty, but provide for much FAIL
Maps = EPIC WIN
Vehicle tweaks = ASTRONOMICALLY EPIC WIN
Mysterious sudden PB issues = Fail, unfortunately
Firefights = Fail
US Army = Win
New graphics = WIN
Kits = Fail
Strange, almost unreliable deviation = Fail

Overall feeling: FAIL.

[baptist_christian]

I've already stated my problems with 0.8

1: merlin lag apparently
2: general unavailability of kits
3: grenades needing to travel at least 30 meters to explode. this is a problem because in urban combat, your enemy is often just across the ****ing street, and your squad NEEDS 'nades on tangos

[sittingduck911]

the first time i played it i hated it. i couldnt hit a thing, no team work so that ment no medic and so i spent more time looking at the your dead screen more than palying. but after giving it some time and getting in with a few clan mates its accualy really freaken good. yes there are a few thing that bug everyone but if you look at the bigger picture it is awsome. team work has gone up 50 fold, i want to be the medic most rounds and the toys OMG the toys i love the new .50cal mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 0.50cal DROOOL. The game is slower but more fun, more intnese the fire fight last longer, the only thing i really dont like is the round time its to short but that comes down to the server not the mod.
top job guys love your work.
