Was v0.8 better then you thought?

[SteveLord]

I didnt like .7 too much so I havent played it in like 6 months. I am more hooked on .8, but certain issues can easily become a dealbreaker.

-Weapon accuracy. Why even have auto/burst modes when they are garbage unless an enemy is 5 feet from you?

-Spawning. Got to love being teleported to the main half the time. Is it picking a wrong rally point? Good thing I am being punished by having to run for 10minutes to the battlefield.

-Running. Way too harsh. Speed is fine, but it takes 5x as long to recover.

-Bleeding. I started bleeding after I got out of a vehicle once. On top of many other strange situations. It seems a little too excessive.

-Healing. Can medics heal themselves? I don't know. Am I laying on a ground spinning around like a moron for a reason? There is no way of knowing if its working or not.

-Kits. I love the machine gunner kit...but why is only like 2 people on a freakin 32man team allowed to have it? 1 per squad is fine, but wow...you really get screwed trying for that kit...much less any others.

-Grenade throwing is a chore. I mean I dont even know the trick behind it. The screen just jerks around and half the time its thrown low and close to my feet as if they weigh 20lbs. BF2's nade lag still exists and makes it worse. Not even close to realistic there.

Well those are my first impressions from a new player. So I don't really care if the "Ive been playing since .1" pros come in and critisize it.

Getting in a squad with someone that has a desire to give orders and encourage teamplay is great. I dont mind getting only a few kills a round if it was a fun one. Its far more attractive than .7 which I didnt play for more than half an hour. I like how infantry play is still very important and you dont get creamed by vehicle pros every 10 seconds.

Its a nice break from a few years of vanilla infantry only games.

i just have to say this : 0.5 was best , fxxk the rest
but to be fair , 0.8 feels alot better than 0.7 in many cases, but i still prefer the good aim and shooting system in 0.5 also the gameplay and the squadplay felt alot better than in the later versions.
somehow the pr mod has gotten a lonewolf mod when not playing in a good professional squad with a good leader, while 0.5 was allways an awsome squadplay experience for most of the time.
the lucky guys who started pr after 0.6 had never the chance to experience this awsome feeling in 0.5 therefore they dont know whats missing in the later releases after 0.5.
i guess some older veterans know exactly what i mean.
sry for my english, hope you get my point.

PR .8 Was awesome, but some aspects have been overtweaked, like the player stamina, run for 5 seconds, recharge in 2 minutes? Sorry but thats lame, i remember I could almost run from North Village to the house complex on the hill, now, i go about 20m before the 'Pant pant'

Thats exactly why they changed it: your not superman, ur carrying about 30kg(?) of kit on average, i doubt you can sprint for a long time, unless your on steroids or something.

Also, what map are you on about?

I've not tried the game yet but I'm reading here and if these two things are true then I must say you possibly screwed the game up:


1. You sprint like a stoned sloth. And have about as much stamina as the 1 tonne man. - God I hate this. I finally thought that I had found a game that is realistic in terms of sprinting. And I am disappointed again. You should be able to sprint as much as a healthy, trained soldier should and that's for quite long. Don't make the game "more realistic" than reality.
2. You aim like a blind 4 year old cripple who has weak arms.
Yeah I hate this to. In all games that have it. I'd rather have a game in where there is no crosshair (if you don't aim specificly) and then you might try to hit something but its really difficult on long range than aiming like a 4 year old kid.

.08 was a bit rushed in my opinion.
