Back in about Nov 2007, I got a bit bored of BF2 and some changes just didn't make the game any better for me so I gave it up for other games. Let's not beat around the bush, I didn't like 0.7 at all.
Recently with the 0.85 release and the good things I have been hearing on our clan forum, I decided to give it a go. Surprisingly installed and plays perfectly on my Vista 64bit system, which I had anticipated some issues with.
Have to say huge congratulations and thanks to the current dev team and testers for helping to bring back (IMO) PR to it's previous greatness. From the first two nights play I could tell the things that annoyed me about 0.7 have all gone and major improvements have appeared on pretty much every level.
Also really like the completely redesigned menu system and loading maps etc. Not sure what version this appeared in, but really helps to give PR it's own style rather than be an add on to BF2.
Had some great games, which takes me back to 2007 when our server was full and epic games would ensue. With 0.85 it seems that the rounds may get even more epic and intense.
So thanks again to all involved in making 0.85 what it is. Haven't found anything I don't like yet!
Although there seems to be a few Necrophiliacs about, few times I have died, I can hear someone come up to me and start humping my dead body, the swines.
