I assume the repair crate repairs so slowly that its no use standing next to it and tank damage, like in vBF2?

sentinel wrote:Lets hope so.. Also why not take it to a ho nuva leva by making the engineer wrench only work while repair station in nearby. In fact make engineers only thing to repair vehicles, so that the tanks squad would need their own pit crew. Instead of making the repair station a self-repairing station.

spacemanc wrote:I agree with timo on that one - Im not in a clan - I only play on public servers. Ive often typed out the question to my team "FFS - what does APC stand for!!!!" as Ive been stranded etc, so as I said its a good intention to encourage their greater use. Teamwork isnt always there on public servers and even if it is, asking two strangers to drive across Kashan for 8mins to pick you up, and then drive back again, is a big ask in gaming terms.

'[R-DEV wrote:OkitaMakoto;885912']Theres a difference in simply giving up on the PR player base by giving them exactly what the bottom of the barrel* would seemingly force us to do and striving to push PR more and more away from BF2's gameplay.

The DEV team will continue to raise the bar and ask that the player base, the mature player base, continue to move up with us farther and farther from original BF2. We did it with Insurgency mode, we did it with rally points, we did it with removing SL spawn, we did it with removing all but the most basic kits from the initial spawn screen.

You guys act like we never play the game, but did you ever think that we realize these problems with the current gameplay and are simply not letting those few bad rounds, or immature players, from ruining the way the game was meant to be played.

Will there be tards? Always. Will the majority of the players get used to these changes and make PR better for it? Yes.


* and please note, Im note referring to any of you here as "bottom of the barrel" I mean those who steal assets and refuse to work as a team, etc

Incomplete Spork wrote:I agree. Devs don't take this as a personal hit but you don't seem to play many normal games the way you are making these changes. Even though to play pr you do need some smarts but all you are doing now is screwing the game over to where the only fun in it is to play with your clan or in a tournament.

Look, you can't fix stupid. There will always be people soloing these tanks and these new logistics things to the front lines. I know the game is Project Reality but I also like to have, not have a chore playing the game. I'm gonna hold off talking about the new PR till I actually play it but this just seems like it's even harder to play in a pub game.

spacemanc wrote:Ive listened to the interview now. There will be no more jeeps except on insurgency maps, and no more transport trucks on any maps - just light APC's and helis for transport.

The repairs will be from a "repair point" which is deployable from a logistics truck which anyone can drive. There can only be one "repair point on the map at one time.

From my experiences of any maps with alot of armour, the armour sq likes to keep repairs with them, so what is to stop them hogging the repair truck, so they have repairs close to them, following them round and the rest of the team dont?

Also the logistics truck is drivable by anyone, so considering that the new changes will possibly limit transport more than it is now - what is there to stop someone taking a logistics truck as a one man transport to the front line, and then abandoning it?

^reasoning?

Tirak wrote:Why is it that every time someone asks about Artillery or more seats on a tank or more and better aircraft, we always get the same line trotted out about "Taking men from the battlefield" then you look over here and they want to turn most of the team into support elements instead of combat. You've nerfed the engineer to nothingness, you've taken away any form of light recce, and you've taken away any ability for a squad to operate independently. I get that you want to make the game more teamwork oriented, I really do, but you're forcing teamwork. You're looking at things and saying "Players aren't doing exactly what I want so I'll make it impossible to do anything unless they do exactly what I want" instead of allowing the player to work with what they have and come up with their own ideas.

'[T wrote:waylay00;885967']Please tell us that Humvees will respawn at the main base on Ramiel (or any insurgent) more frequently now, since the FOBs can't spawn them!

I've had a blast doing effective, rapid support, Humvee convoys here recently.
