No worries mate, I understand. :) I didn't realise you were all together.

I ended up doing some sniper spotting before my gamecrashed when i ALT-TAB'd to do something. Plus now i get to deafen myself listening to music whilst editing these videos.

Some of the footage from Kashan Desert was truely epic. Whoever created the sound design for Project Reality i salute you.
That'll be very nice.
(I was in your squad on Qwai, BTW. The LAT guy who got killed so many times ;) )

The part towards the end of the battle when our whole MEC team was up on the hill firing down at North Village was epic.
Looked like something out of the Gulf War; burning oil wells, helicopters sweeping in low and killing tanks, missiles flying across the empty desert below the ridge... quite awesome. :razz:

Especially when the Americans moved West from their beseiged Firebase and started hitting the right flank of everyone on the hill.
We were all frining down causally at the Village, and then suddenly all these red tracers start coming in from the right, a HAT missile kills a group of three or four MEC guys, we all shift fire, and a massive firefight breaks out.
What PR is all about. :)

Shame the server goes dead when I get home during the week (around 8-9 CST). You Euros need to stay up later.

If this does get implemented, then one thing is for CERTAIN:

We WILL, MUST, ABSOLUTELY need mumble to be able to play on a 128 server.

Obviously you wern't playing with the right people. ;)

I've played quite a few times on the 128 server. Honestly, if the admins are there, and people are playing right, it's VERY nice.

yeah, it's faster paced, but it's also a nice change of pace.

The problem i have with PR is you get this thing of 6 v 6 everywhere. Never is it a firefight it seems.

With the 128 server, you can have at least a group of 16 people together at any given time.

Plus, more players to fill in vehicle roles AND infantry roles.

(people just need to learn that APC's can carry people too...)

Of course. Additionally most maps doesn't suit so many players, mechanic doesn't suit it, and lack of teamwork in 90% of these games. This is easy fixable I guess, but these easy solutions would require a lot of work.

I love idea of having 128 servers in PR, even more I like 8 men squads.

I like it, people give up really easily and everyone seems to stop using their brain when playing there so I manage to get a lot of kills. :)

I got now more powerful server free for Sisu. Ill try to change it today or tomorrow to run there.
Max players will be increased as well on that change to 126 or 128.

I will also go on with some new patch tests. So if server crash, please just keep reconnecting in few minutes because server patch version will change on every crash/restart.

Parts 3 and 4 should be up later tonight. Part 3 is still being encoded by Premiere Pro and should be up in a few hours and Part 4 will probably be up later tonight. Parts 3 and 4 contain some of the more epic footage from the battle.
