Be nice to the noobs

[Cassius]

FNG guy syndrome is alive and well in PR. Maybe we should write an etiquette for new players. Crashing an helicopter/jet because you didnt practice offline with it is no biggie in BF2 it spawns back in 2 min, or so, so what. In PR such a behaviour can get you kicked or even banned. Long time players usually agree thats an at least kickable offense, but people new to the mod usually do not have an idea of expectations towards the new players.

I agree that the vets should always try and be nice to newbs and try to be more forgiving when they make a mistake. I can remember my first round in PR, I did read the manual, but I still managed to accidentally blow up a friendly Stryker with a full squad in it. I was extremely embarrassed by incident and was pretty much just yelled at, kicked from my squad and told to read the manual. Following my little accident, I joined a practice server (this was back when they still had them) and found a guy from the PR tournament who spent all night teaching me how to crew a vehicle, use shoulder mounted AA weapons effectively, be an effective medic and many other things that the manual doesn't cover all that well. While I don't expect most of the PR community to be like this guy, cutting the average newb some slack would be nice.

To be honest I never found the manual very helpfull either. Sure it teaches you the basic stuff, but I learned most of that in my first game of pr. What it dosn't teach you is how to act in combat what good cover is. It dosn't teach you good situational awarness ect. All of which is more important than anything the manual can teach you.

On the topic of TKing I understand that mistakes can happen but when Im at one end of the street looking at you and not raising my gun plz for the love of god dont fire. Don't know the number of times that I've encounterd this, I will even start pressing check fire when he is looking at me because I know I will end up being TKed. In assets take a momment and check your map us inf have enough to worry about without having to be scared of our own apcs.

On a side note some one should make a thread showing all the diffent sides and there cammo/ guns and maybe what the guns sound like so we avoid some of these unnecasary TKs.
