Doomed to play single player?

Post by Trooper909 »

il start by saying iv been playing for over 2years and never had anything to complain about till now. Its now impossible to get a good team that is not full of retards now days what happened? for example no one server singled out as its all of them.
heres how a few hours of PR goes now:

- go to a server get TK in 2secs by a random team mate call for admin.
- no admin oook re spawn get TK by a diferent person
- change server no TK's but not one person on the whole server seems to have a clue what there doing
- join, a squad and there doing the most stuipid things you ever see
- change squad same thing another server change is needed
- next server is full of good clans etc but all there squads are locked with 3 to 4 peaple in them

- join a normal squad again.thay have no clue what there doing so doomed to be in the worst squad on the server i give the squad a chance as maybe i can teach them a few things but i dont talk on a mic i type as i have a heavy east london accent that i dont think many would understand me lol so i type some tactics & what we should be doing etc
1 of 2 things happen here :
1: thay seem to be unable to see the bright green txt on the side of the screen.
2: thay dissmiss my advice as thay have played normal bf2 for years & PR for a week so thay know better than me.

A conversaion goes like this:

me: so what kind of squad is this & whats the plan?
random SL: well il fly you guys in and you kill the enemy.
me: lol.
random SL: why lol?
me: we have a chopper squad dont you think you should get an officer kit & get the chopper squad to fly us?you should join the chopper squad to fly.
random SL: no we do my plan :
me: ok but this will end badly than were back at main with no transport.
random SL: flips chopper with our sqaud inside and a few smurfs
me:now installing PR single player bots have got to be smarter than that.

ps: dont just flame my post for being a wall of txt of bad grammer etc im awear of that allready.just focus on the issue & give me your personal views on the subject ok?

youre right...you should try playing on =H= servers...they tend to always 95% of the time have great matches. usually always an admin on...tards dont last long if they do show up. New people come and go, if u dont like playing with them stick to playin with people you know. The new guys will hone their skills soon I hope though. I have seen what you are talking about and I study the scores and teams before i involve myself in a match. If it looks like its going to be a clusterfkk then i bounce to another server.

Will this really do any good?
There were quite a few of this post recetly,but wth are we supposed to do about?
If you dont like it,dont play,its a free mod accesable for evryone,so there will always be these kind of ppl,so either live with it or go play another game.

Trooper, there was an influx of noobs from BF2 after an ad by EA to check this mod out.

Chillax, it will be over soon.

Give it a good two weeks and it is gonna be good.

But i have been playign this since the 0.3 release and i have never failed to join a squad that wasnt cool.

So i dont think ur looking hard enough.

Erm
1: Paragraphs just take a second to do and let people go for what you're saying then comment on how you say it.
2: Use Firefox and its auto-correction options, saves people lots of headaches.

For the rest, I usually do a couple of rounds of L4D then go have my taste of PR, in comparison even the worst teamwork in PR isn't up to par to what you often find in the L4D world ;)

Not going to wade through that post, I think I can form a response based on what other people have said...

Play on good servers. That's it. TacticalGamer, Tactics and Teamwork, Chicago, to name a few good ones. Play there, follow their individual rules, and you'll enjoy yourself.

Find a server where folks use mumble and you'll find well-coordinated teams, and you WILL have a good time or be beaten with a stick :)

First things first, I'd hardly say that your DOOMED to play single-player. The PRSP team did a fantastic job on creating a playable and highly enjoyable single-player game-mode that I still play to this date.

Secondly, like everyone already said, there is a large influx of "N00bs"/"newbies"/etc. but they will dissipate as time goes on. Bear in mind the following things:

1. Project Reality just won not one, but TWO MOD OF THE YEAR awards, and thus the propaganda for it was like a 3 mile wide wildfire to the vBF2 moths.

2. The recent release of v0.85 was also another bright light to attract more vanilla players.

3. With EA posting a News Update directly on the vBF2 game main screen...you might as well have thrown another 3 billion liters of gasoline on that flame.

So long story short, patience is a virtue :wink:

yeah im awaer of this stuff.
and i for one think more new blood to shoot is a good thing we was all noobs ones and learned to play.

but the new influx of noobs dont seem to have anyone to teach them like i for one did.
i had the fortune or missfortune to have fuzzhead as SL the 1st time i steped on a PR server lol than a few clan squads after that.

i wanted to learn & seemed to learn from some of the best but half of those peaple dont play no more or hide with there clan mates in a locked squad.

but i was one noob in a server full of expireanced peaple were thay are on a server with ppl the same skill lvl as them so its a blind leading the blind thing so thay get bored & TK eachother.
i did read the manual also so respected the fact that if i got into an a10 without knowing what the hell i was doing thats 20mins or more the team dont have an a10.
i dont fly to this day actuly because there was allways some1 who could fly better.

i think thay should think in the same way tbh

Also, I recommend playing on servers at a time when there's likely to be an admin about. Even the best servers can have off days and most servers don't have admins that can be there 24/7.
