Yes I'm sure that many people all decided to brake from there somewhat normal routine all at pretty much the same time for no apparent reason what so ever to do some "r/l stuff"

Always played PR, always will.

On the Big D server now. There was just a decent round on Burning Sands with the server nearly full. Barracuda comes up and the numbers fall a bit.

But I think the bigger story is that there is not a single player on Mumble. I thought the aussie community embraced using Mumble?

[Truism]

Its been tried over the past few years, numbers have just dropped due to lack of interest which nobody can be blamed for.

Gradually new players are joining, but a decreasing rate since knowledge of PR's existence is fairly low, or those who do know it don't like it.

Or, you know we could call it what it is and admit that BigD was an incestuous environment and persistant teamstacking drove most of the new players away for years now. God knows that's why I only ever lasted a few weeks at a time since 08 - easily 2/3 to 3/4 of games are teamstacked whitewashes, and there was never any of the sense of openness that servers like TG had.

I'm not having a dig. It's no one person's fault, it just wasn't an environment conducive to keeping new players in. It was the only server that really retained a RTFM or eat flames attitude after PR picked up MOTY, and frankly, if you weren't in one of the big clans, you were setting yourself up for a lot of frustration.

BF3's got great anims great sounds, great engine..... but its the same arcady gameplay that ruins it. PR's got none of the afromentioned- that's why its still great!

I think you should go post that there.

I played last time...
9/14/11 there was about 1,000 people on a day.
I just played...
10/8/11 there is about 300 people on a day.

I don't know but it seams like Tactical Gamer is done with, and also PR it self. EXCEPT PR Arma 2.

[Rudd]

Maybe its because this weekend is Yom Kippur?

[Airsoft]

i blame the sharp decline for people busy with work and education, it will spike back up in the summer i guarantee.

[Dev1200]

So many people are QQing saying PR is dead.



1. after summer = All kiddies are back in school, not playing PR.
2. People who were playing, are now playing BF3 beta.

People will come back. New releases always have an impact on every other game.

you just wait til the next Sims game comes out, this place will be a ghost town.

[Buren06]

I know I'll be back once I get my PC back.

[J.F.Leusch69]

the more threads we get like this, the more we will be rollin'

...why are people always so pessimistic...

[mattnett1]

Yay!!!
I am in school and I got some time. But I mainly play Madden now.

How could you possibly play Madden?


It's just.. soo.. MADDENNING.

[Cassius]

I played yesterday. Sisu server had between 80 and 120 people. All great players. After every round I was all like OMG best round eva. The noobs were busy with BF3.

In the long run the most popular BF2 mod might go the way of the most popular BF1 mod, but ARMA2 PR is coming as well.

[Jonathan_Archer_nx01]

Actually, the amount of fail in BF3 is so high that it brings me back to PR.

[Truism]

I think you should go post that there.

Others have already, but you know that full well.

I'm just not interested enough. I only play PR once every few months for a few days at a time, and then get frustrated by the same **** that annoyed me three years ago in 0.7 and leave. The game really isn't engaging enough to hold me when it's in the context of the BigD community, and my connection is unlikely to be good enough to play on US servers until I move back off base, which for various reasons I can't see happening for at least another year.

So basically, I just like to stick my head into the forums and see what's going on once in a while.

[mattnett1]

It seems like PR is dieing. Me and 5 others in TG last night were saying that.

In BF3 beta though... Dam, i can't see BF3 doing GOOD.
