Something that differentiates PR from other games and in my opinion it should be a bit funny aswell.

For instance in a very short clip.

You walk up to a corner and there is a guy there. In every other game you would just walk into the street. This time the guy is mumble using and saying "NO DON'T GO AROUND".

Ofcourse you do go around and what do you know, there's a tank right there. or an apc, or a full squad of insurgents. etc etc

[Wicca]

YES!

"And it was at this point he knew.... He fucked up.."

The game's too old to become relevant, the learning curve is too step, mechanics are unintuitive and the community is pretty unwelcoming. Just let it be.

Overall modern PR gives incompetent players' a safe space were they can be incompetent and not have to become better. They will never become good if they don't get steamrolled time after time until they find the initiative to start developing their skills.

Maybe you should try playing a competitive game. Seems like most of your hate is just CAS not being completely broken anymore.

[Swaggzor]

Same thought different scenario. You are in a building taking fire from an apc that is quite close and you can't get out. you use mumble for "Cas support". You stand up, look at the apc, it's looking at you and Boom cas wrecks it.

"Good hit"

Why do you even play?

I think at this point the best move is that everyone shares PR with their own friend circle while at the same time sharing screenshots online on other subreddits and sharing videos on sites like youtube or even twitch streaming. I think the entire community needs to innovate in how to reach a more dynamic and wider audience who might be looking for something that is far more detailed than the usual COD or Battlefield or Battlefront.

The important thing is however to pitch the core philosophy of the game. Teamplay and communication. Having fun while still playing the objective. The importance of a microphone and just a good attitude towards most players that believe in the same ways of PR.

If one PR player can get atleast two friends in to PR then that would be a great start already. This kind of brings me the idea of a recruitment programme. Also it is far easy to tell people to try it out because it's for free. The only downside is the visual representation that turns people off but that can be mitigated by showing PR videos that have good actiony content with the GEM mod enabled for example.

We don't have the looks, but we have the personality XD

We do. We just need a little make up and lure them in. Once they have entered and experienced us they will not let go easily because there is nobody like us. We are special and they will never feel what they feel with us with anybody else.

Back in the old days:

-No admins online usually, thus no balancing -> worse team would get raped until they got better

"The old days" or you know, like, last week.

[Chuva_RD]

The rape is not the same one as before. Back in the days you might be raped in milliseconds, today it takes much more time.

This patches promoting softer rape made community weaker.

[Jack_Howitzer]

"The old days" or you know, like, last week.

Exept the raped team will not think what they did wrong, instead they'll whine and ask for balance.

What a wonderful thread I've just read. It has everything you need from old fags shedding a tear about how grass was greener back in the days to people upset with DEVs. It has dumb ideas, acceptance of the fact that PR is slowly dying(as usual) and some doubtful opinions.

But what does this thread really needs is some participation in activities from people who really want PR to stay alive.

This thread needs real heroes.

Wicca said that he thinks that making some videos would be a nice way to promote PR. Well, maybe. Can we at least try? PRT teams has some propaganda movies. Some people are making videos for YouTube. If PR DEVs would like to participate something like official PR YT channel can be made. Make people, who wants to promote PR to subscribe to it and to follow stuff that's happening there. Voila you've got some recognition. Post some DEV-dairies. viirusiiseli can make his cheater's digest or something like that.

A community driven YT account?

[lakinen]

The main problem is,when new players come.Kicking ppl from server and explanation read manual,read manual..... Have you ever started playing a game by reading the instruction?
We need to help new players in the game.
I understand that associations pay server rentals and have all the rights, but no people no full server.
If new players come we have more servers.
Just help new members.
Tnx

Have you ever started playing a game by reading the instruction?

Almost every game needs you to read instructions(or to be told how to play it). It's easy to explain poker basic rules because they're not that complicated or vast... But how about Monopoly for example? Or preferans(boston) card game? DnD? The more complicated game becomes the more instructions it gets.

A community driven YT account?

Why not? I know it would be hard to make it work but that's one of the easiest ways. Not just YT but maybe PRM propaganda agency.

You know Russian suggests you to start propaganda agency. Like...

Maybe we can get some of those Russian hackers to rig a game vote and set PR up as the winner.

On a serious note, a community driven YT channel could work, especially if it gets the attention of some gaming magazines.
