That ABR client will fix the constant promoting when you start at an ABR server.

You are so right, I can see how that would be most disrespectful to do that. Thanks I'll do that after I reinstall everything tonight.

Should that be the last thing I install on top of PRMM after I reinstall BF2?

I had to uninstall everything lastnight so I can start with a fresh build. I got that dam MD5Tool ****. It's been buggin me for awhile, but I can't take it anymore.

Later

Yeah, that should be it. Don't forget to update BF2 before adding PRM. You can probably update afterward, but just to be safe I'd get BF2 up to current first.

No it doesn't. We wouldn't run it if it did.

I think all the servers should start using ABR. It's already been said it's likley it will integrated into future builds so may as well get on board now if you want to be able to do some things. :)
Alternative Battlefield Ranking
We're going to do some more stuff around the ranking & stats system. We will NOT be introducing any sort of "whore points for weapon unlocks" concept. However we will evaluate how we can integrate more of the ABR capabilities into the game world and the realitymod.com website.

We might try stuff like requiring "certifications" to be able to operate certain vehicles, needing to have a basic rank requirement to gain access to limited kits or needing a certain proficiency as a Rifleman to gain access to the Sniper kits.

It's not a huge priority for us, but as the mod player base grows and we induct new players, we'd really like to avoid scenarios where a first time spawner into a Project reality server drives off in a tank and gets it destroyed 30 seconds later.

I use the ranks to identify newcomers and vBF2 players :P
Like, If I see a private hopping into a chopper - I know I wont get in..
Its bound to go wrong :D
