And you all wonder why we make the changes that we do.
He may be on to something though... what if we could change the coding behind the players...

Sorry, I sounded a bit rude. I just failed to make a litte joke. I mean, I spread among forums and communitys about the PR and all the teamwork it offers and in game I normally be the squad leader and always invite newbies to show in game the team work.

But, even after all I still see a lot o players just playing in their won little world and I then I see all that teamwork that I dream to see in the servers.

And I know a little what you dev's have been trought in the development of this mod, I tried mapping and then messing with some codes once and I quit because they are VERY complicated.

Sorry again, I just wanted to joke with that "we can't mod the players"

Well, I don't normally ever post since there's so much input going around here I'd feel like mine would be spam, I only lurk a little, but I wanted to thank everyone involved for their simulation-like behaviour efforts during that round.



Possibly the best PR round to date, THE way it's meant to be played. I was mad at my BF2 crashing twice but managed to come back. Unfortunately I didn't take any screenshots, it was too intense and immersive. Epic epic stuff, I feel bad for whoever missed it but all players cannot fit on one server.

I was part of Sq2 (Jaymz's) if you want to update that roster :)
Despite our impressive convoy, the Talibans managed to perform two sucessful strikes with the big red truck, twice at the same valley road spot you can see on the formation screenshot.

I amazingly survived the first attack which destroyed most of our guys, at least 3-4 vehicles plus a firebase. I found myself de facto left behind with, I hate to say, a noob blue medic whom i had to capslock brief on how to treat my wounds. Nightmarish, I thought I was going to bleed to death with him staring at me with his pack in his hands.
He finally took care of me in a small house where I was holding a couple more talibans off. I realized there was still 1 last vehicle intact on the road ; that humvee surely was the last ride home.
With all other few blues dead, we sprint to it while taking and returning fire in a flash and I drove it all the way back to the base with the medic on board. We made it just in time as the convoy was resupplying for the next mission, I was so glad ! :-D


And so, we came back on the same spot later on to destroy a cache which happened to spawn in the house where I made my stand. I dropped my thermite on it. 8)

Can't wait to see a video of the last firefight, it was non-stop firing for idk, 15 mins ? Apparently Battlerecorder wasn't on.

edit : ooh sweet one posted above !

From my part, I got pretty busy even with a more "boring" job like securing and defending the vehicles and the FO.

The procedure was to halt the convoy on a more-or-less secure place close to the cache, deploy an FO, defend the FO and the vehicles from enemy reinforcements from the rear. We did that 5 or 6 times during that round and we were constantly attacked by the Taliban.

My squad did very well defending with the .50 cals. At one place we were attacked by 4 enemy technicals that would have attacked our infantry squads from behind and we destroyed them. We were even fortunate to call artillery on enemy positions one time.

The big red bomb truck was our big nightmare, specially on close quarters where we didn't have much time to take it out. The third time we got him because ncomm put a C4 on the road and that tought us a lesson for the future ;)

One attack by the big red destroyed our lead humvee (fuzz) and we decided to move north and regroup away from the enemy so fuzz could get his squad back with us again. Little did we know that the village we went to was actually a place where TWO enemy caches were placed and weren't revealed to us, so the enemy kept attacking our staging area. I don't have any recording from that fight, but it was very intense.

fuzzhead got back to us by chopper but we didn't have enough vehicles to transport all, so we just held that position on the hill with all the foxholes and got constantly attacked.

I actually took an aftermath shot of BigRed. Those were two of my friends driving that thing. :)
