Tip to make people enjoy the mod

GET RID OF ALL NON-TRANSPORT VEHICLES

You'll have people coming from miles around to play. Everyone will enjoy the mod - not just armour and aircraft whores. People will play the mod for longer than a week after releases. I guess people will actually keep playing the mod more is the general theme of this presentation. (Family Guy rules)

They totally ruin this mod. Sure one Eryx will take out an APC but nobody actually plays as anti-tank because you left them with a bloody pistol. I understand vehicles are supposed to be a fearsome sight on the battlefield but not in PR. When I see armour pull up I say to myself "well fuck I might as well get up and take a piss." The whole concept of running for cover when you see armour is shit in PR because the maps are so open. There isn't anywhere to hide. Sure you can run around the corner of this building here but 3 seconds later that tank has followed you around that corner. And don't even bother running from choppers. Just throw down your weapon and take what's coming to you.

Maps like Steel Thunder 16 and Mashtuur City are fun as hell but with a full rotation you never get to play them. Instead servers are always on some wide-open armour-whore's map where you get to spend more time dead than actually playing the game.

For your information, servers have the ability to adjust the vehicle loadouts on all maps. The Devs have thought about BF2 players' varying tastes. Some love vehicles, most people accept them and there's always the select few *cough* who always ***** about them, but nonetheless if you've got your own server or you know someone who has, it's quite easy to remove armour, attack helicopters and jets from the maps you play. Please, do your research before knocking the hard working mod team.

PR is not just an all infantry mod. There have been plenty of people like you who say this and that about vehicles etc. But the devs have stated on numerous occasions that this mod will include armour, aircraft, etc.

The game is Battlefield 2, where it encompasses a massive array of fighting with vehicles and infantry. It would be a shame to not take advantage of that, it would be a shame for all the devs hard work modeling, skinning, and coding vehicles just to throw them away now.

No doubt other people will agree with you, as I have said there has been tons of topics on this very same thing you are suggesting but PR is not Counter-Strike, or Insurgency, its Project Reality, realism for the modern battlefield.

Its important to keep options open - keep infantry people happy, keep vehicle people happy, and so everyone is happy. A mod that concentrates on just one discipline will perhaps do well, but not as good as an all round one.

If you want infantry only, go on an infantry only server. There are plenty available.

You also have to remember that the BF series is very vehicle heavy. The vehicles make or break this game, not the infantry, and PR has done well to make infantry as powerful as it is.

we're not removing vehicles. server admins can choose to, but we're commited to continuing to take advantage of all aspects the BF2 engine.

Well theres your answer. By the way for a non viechle server try the Ziip server i think it is veichle free.

Well as stated as above removing the vehicles is a server option so either way you like it. You should be able to find a server that suits your needs.

We dont want Armour to be ripped out of the game, at all. I think the vehicles looks great, but i think there should be 1 map maybe which has got, i dunno, a few humvees, and some jeeps instead of tanks/APCS. Because lets face it tanks/APC's are IMO the best anti infrantry, anti vehicular and sometimes anti air vehicle in the game.

And like a few people ive asked, have agreed, that you dont see enough people on foot on maps (Excluding Jungle fever, which isnt really my kinda map). In reality, you see people minaly travelling in a bunch of humvess, or my favourite, the Blackhawk. Now you see a few tanks around, but not as much as PR.

Im now sure if its just me thinking this, but id love to see El alamein, with a load of foot soldiers in a HMV being covered by sniper fire in a Little bird, and then having a tank for Anti armour support. Then the HMV pulls up at a base where they all storm in on foot. Now to me, that would be really cool to see, and would require teamwork to infiltrate the bases, instead of a 12 inch thick armour storming in killing everything in its path.

The server admin, very well might be able to take vehicles off, but im just saying a map with the above would be cool.

This is just my opinion, and i am by no means insulting your mod, i think your doing a great job and i know its hard work making a mod. Im only adding my opinions for future improvment.
