• 4km maps are now the focus for future mapping projects, 1km are no longer accepted at all and 2km have to be of a very high standard to get into the mod. This allows for far more realistic environments etc.
• Progress has been made on implementing 128 player servers into the mod, with one such server active in a testing capacity most nights of the week. Along with 128 players being a possibility, further developments have allowed for the use of 8 man squads.
• The PR team have consistently and continuously brought in high quality, high accuracy models based on real life vehicles and weapons. Recent examples include the Kiowa Warrior, AAV, MTLB, BTR-80, PKM, Type-95 series and the AK series to name but a few.
• Deviation has been introduced and fine-tuned over several versions to produce a fairly accurate representation of accuracy.
• The spawn system has been refined so that players can no longer magically spawn on a pile of rucksacks endlessly, and player constructed assets like tank traps, foxholes, TOW launchers and even temporary bridges are more prolific than ever.
• Thermal imaging has been implemented on all relevant vehicles who use the system in real life.
• 3D scopes have been developed so when scoped it no longer looks like you're looking through a hole in a big black canvas.
• The medic system has progressively been made harsher, firstly with the introduction of resuscitation, epipens and the medic bag requiring you physically heal the player to allowing only one medic per squad.

Snazz wrote:A parody is "a humorous or satirical imitation." (Dictionary)

The video is not an imitation of PR, it is just PR. The disclaimer also includes serious and direct criticisms of PR, which aren't humorous or satirical.

It only shows unrealistic aspects of the BF2 engine, it does not provide any proof that PR has become "more noobfriendly and mainstream" (complete opposite IMO) or any examples where PR as a mod could improve realism appropriately.

A parody (pronounced /ˈp?rədi/; also called send-up, spoof or lampoon), in contemporary usage, is a work created to mock, comment on, or make fun at an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation

Mikemonster wrote:Er.. Yeah.

A parody would be something that is funny and taking the piss (like Life of Brian) .. This is just highlighting some flaws. Which is fine, but not when you call it a parody, as if it's not a criticism.

Viper.Sw wrote:Read the wikipedia first sentences of what a parody is and come back to me when you think you have figured it out.

Snazz wrote:'Funny' is subjective and contextual. Material doesn't necessarily need to evoke an amused third-party response to be technically parody either.

The 'audience' is always a mixed crowd with different mindsets and inhibitions anyway. Take the occasional stark imitating post for example, some would overlook the humorous nature and think the user was just severely bipolar with multiple heavily contrasting personalities.


Your video is not a satirical imitation, therefore it is not a parody. The wikipedia article only further verifies the dictionary definition I provided earlier.

'[R-DEV wrote:Rudd;1572533']yes, we can see the Ors, and ys that does mean that it is one or more of those options avaliable



this also gives you several choices, but because these are the means and not the intentions they are a separate list. This means that it can be making fun of original work, its subject, its author or another work and still not be a parody. It requires the MEANs to be a humourous (I submit that I don't think your video was, but thats just me), satiric (your video certainly wasn't satirical) or ironic (it certainly wasn't ironic) imitation (which it wasn't as it was you doing things that would never be done or things that don't happen as standard)

Since this seems very hard i give u a hint: "or".
