Great game, but ....

Ive been playing this game for 2 days now, trying to get to grips with it. But the community is frustrating me to the core..... For example.
I find a tank for the first time.... GREAT!, this should be fun, i park it near an ammo dump to change over to crewman so i can drive it, when i return to it, someone is on top of it, when i try to get in it, he yells at me to "get the fuck off the tank" I say "its my tank, piss off" get in it, then get booted from the room for inappropriate behavior ..... WTF? If this aint admins abusing power, then i don't know what is. But whatever, one lousy encounter shouldn't hinder someones playing experience, so i continue playing.
So, i decide ill try out chopper gunning, give me a good chance to see how things work, and watch how some of the more experienced players play the game from the safety of the chopper. I figure i should be able to watch the map as i cover with the gun when needed. I was in a chopper for about 2 mins then i start getting abused, pilot telling me to get the fuck out, so i do, and die from the impact. Ok fair enough, only one bad pilot so i try again, next pilot does the same thing, even more aggressively "Get out! get out! get the fuck out!" then i hear him say over open comms that i am AFK and need to be booted ..... what the fuck is going on here? why even make the gun on the chopper man-able if people are going to start throwing insults at you for using them? Seems pointless.
Then, another incident, i join a squad of 8 people as a HMG. The squad comes under fire, i find a fantastic position on top of a building with LOS to multiple enemies, and a great view of my entire squad like 100m away, i start laying down supressive fire and covering their approach then i hear the squad leader yelling at me to catch up .... I tell him im busy engaging the enemy. Then he threatens to boot me from the team in 3 seconds if i don't comply ..... FINE! i get down below, run across an obvious enemy firing zone to catch up, the sound of "medic, medic, medic" can be heard as my squad-mates are all being shot, i finally catch up to them, to be killed 3 seconds later by the very people i was pinning down and suppression moments before. I understand he made a mistake, everyone is human, but whats with the threatening to boot people thing that's goin on? Fuck there aint enough players as it is guys, 3-5 rooms open max, like you guys can afford to boot all the new guys every-time they don't follow orders.
How the fuck is this supposed to be "realism"? the only real thing i have experienced so far is the very real wankers that think they are "mums basement special forces." Its a freaking game guys! aren't we here to have fun?
Never have i been so pissed of at a game, too many nerds thinking they are hero soldiers for my liking. I was amazed by so many empty rooms when i first installed the game but now it all makes sense. Why the fuck would anyone want to play with such a hostile community! Why else wouldn't the rooms be full? There is no reason that such an amazing game like this, that is completely free, shouldn't be PACKED with players. This game should be filled to the brim with players, just like BF2 was, with an abundance of rooms available, its a FREE GAME .... FFS! Where is everyone? I suggest a more friendlier attitude from everyone would do wonders for the numbers, and especially less threats from the ego-tripping admins that think they God's.
And you cant try the newb BS on me either and claim i don't know what im doing caus I been a veteran of every FPS that has come out from duke nukem to battlefield 4, I can hold my own in any FPS game and i don't need coaching. Check my stats on BF4 if you need convincing, i have the same name there and hundreds of hours playtime. Also, I am a tournament player for CS 1.6, i still have a gold trophy in my cabinet for first place in back when i was a teenager. I know how to play tactical squad based FPS.
The game itself is FANTASTIC, thanks very much for making it available for free. Its like all the good things from ARMA thrown in to the battlefield 4 engine with better and bigger maps, better guns and artillery. Flight is harder, artillery more realistic. Particle physics seem realistic as does the injury system. But with all those good things about it, its just too easy for a hostile community to ruin it for everyone, and its such a shame. It really is.
Such an amazing game, like THE BEST tactical FPS i have ever seen, yet id rather go play something else. How does that make sense? Realize whats going on and fix it, otherwise this game will die due to lack of players. You know its all true, it happens to every game. So pull out your mops, your brooms and your dustbins, and clean the fuckin joint up a little, the devs deserve more than this for all their hard work. Show them some respect at least.
Rant over!

Hi there Styer27!.
Let me start by saying that Im a noob basically, but Ill take the chance to be the first to answer, because I feel you may get a rant back at you. I want to calm things down a bit. I think the way you start and conclude your Rant is appropiate, but there in the middle you get a bit offensive with the community I am also part of. And for what you say, based on one server, one afternoon. Thats not fair.
Now, let me tell you that regardless of how experienced you might be in other fps, this is not like any other fps. Yes, its First person, yes, you shoot things...but thats it. Everything around that is so different, and I think your assumption has caused you a lot of trouble.
I have been playing for almost five months and not once have I flown a chopper. Only once was I part of a Tank Sq, and it was because a gunner was needed at base, and I previously told the guys that I was a complete noob. They didnt mind and they were kind enough to teach me a lot of things and were patient to me, even in the heat of battle. Now I have been a part of APC sq a couple of times and Im just getting the hang of it. Still I try to learn and always tell the Sq that Im a noob. Nothing wrong in admiting such a thing.
The guy in the Tank probably told you to get out because you were not a part of the Tank Sq, And you need two to drive it. THe guy in the chopper told you to get out because they may need room for a whole sq, or you were using the mounted MG and annoying the pilot. The inf SL gave you an order, yeah,...sometimes you know they are wrong but hey...thats pretty realistic, to be sent to die because of someone elses mistake!...shit happens.
I think you should take a different approach on the game. There are so many things I ve learned which I didnt even imagine were a part of this game. And now they make perfect sense. This community is not perfect, and I admit that my first impression was much better that later ones. I feel I was lucky to find so good, cool an patients SLs when I first joined, every now I then I ran into "wanna be american hero". I just try to avoid those sls, and if I cant I just hold my nerve and remind myself its just a game!.
I do advice against just grabbing any piece of equipment you feel like during your first games. Get into an Infantry squad, take the rifleman kit, and let your Sl know that you are new to the game. If he behaves as a pedantic ******* because you are not good enough, then its his problem, you will find another squad. You shouldn be using any other kit at first (No!, not even medic).
I dont know what people think a Tactical FPS is, I just know that this game has nothing to do with Bf4 nor with CS. THIS IS DIFFERENT. And some players may not find it fun or interesting. PR has a "personality" that is different to anything else out there. You may play for 2 hours, dont get to kill anything, and yet, you have been helping your Sq, that has been helping the Team, that has won the game, or done the best. Maybe just by having the ammo bag ready to resupply the HAT quickly enough was the difference between a destroyed enemy tank and the loss of a CP. You didnt shoot the HAt, you didnt even see the tank blowing up, but your combat awareness, you communication skills, your assertive decision, were parts of something bigger than you.
Be patient.
I dont want you to give up on the game or on the community. I wish you gave us another chance. I hope you have a lot of fun next time you play, and try to ignore people that are not constructive.
Cheers and welcome!...

Assets (Tanks, Jets, Choppers) are reserved for certain squads at the start of the round. Look at the squad list and join a squad named tank, armor, cas, trans, apc and so on if you want to man assets.
Assets take a long time to respawn (20 minutes) so people tend to take good care of them. When a complete stranger jumps into your tank that you've reserved for you and your squad mates and doesn't want to jump out, it's frustrating and against pretty much every server's rules.

You are saying we cannot pull the newb BS on you, but thats exactly what the problem here is.
You don't yet understand the written and unwritten rules in PR servers and squads.
If you want an asset, at round start you have to be the first to create a squad with the assets name. Only then you can claim it fully. If you join an asset squad mid-round with enough people inside to man all assets of the class that is reserved by the squad name (like APC, TANK, CAS etc.) then don't expect to get an asset for yourself. Assets are extremely expensive (ticket wise) and take a long time to respawn, if people see some random join their squad and suddenly jump into one of their vehicles without asking if its still free, you can expect a very harsh reaction. because retards jumping into jets and going full throttle against the hangar walls happen daily and thus kicks and bans from a server in these cases happen very very fast.
I strongly suggest to go here:
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f29-pr ... r-feedback
And take a look at some server threads with names that are familiar to you from the server browser. Then click on the linked server rules in those threads and read through them. The rules from all the different servers are very similar to each other. Admins expect you to know the server rules before you join one. So make sure to at least know the basics by reading a little through some of them. This way you will stay out of trouble and be welcomed much more friendly.
Regarding the chopper: First of all, doing Close-Air Support with transport choppers is not allowed on most servers, because people tend to do that when they get bored after they don't get any requests anymore, fly around and then just get shot. Doing CAS with trans can be effective, but only if you are using the right chopper, with the right amount of very experienced players. Since this is rarely the case, it is generally forbidden at all.
The guns are there for self-defense, nothing else. So if you jump in a trans chopper and stick on the gun, you can be sure the pilot is going to freak out when he is landing you or some additional guys in his heli in the battlefield and expecting you to jump out too, but you don't. Every additional second of hovering around the frontline, is an additional second where a tank shell, or AA round is about to hit you. So if you refuse to jump out, he will start screaming at you, to stop sleeping and gtfo before you all die. You did not respond so the guy reported you as afk, thinking you jumped into the heli and went for a piss or something. Since there is no reason for you to stay in the chopper after touch down. A trans heli needs all his slots, there is no space for someone just idling on the gun. If a squad wants to move from A to B, thats 8 men. The choppers only have 7 passenger seats + 1 pilot seat. This means already one of the guys will have to wait for a second lift. Someone idling on the gun and blocking another seat constantly is not tolerated by any pilot therefore.
The golden rule for every NEWB is to join infantry squads and start as rifleman. If you got some experience you can switch to other kits, but ALWAYS ask your squadleader if he is ok with you grabbing anything besides the rifleman! Selfish players, who jump into a squad, grab any kit they like (possibly stealing it from someone else, because he was assigned to it already) are usually not tolerated.
After you got some infantry experience, you can go over to ground assets and possibly transport helicopters, but make sure to train flying on a local server first. Your BF4 skills won't help you much in PR at all.
CAS is pretty much the last thing you want to learn, because its the most challenging and most valuable asset on the battlefield. Your whole team expects you to know your shit when you reserve and use one of these.
If you want to get the real PR experience and have a noob-friendly environment, I suggest you
join the official PR Tournament. Sadly you are from AUS, so timezones will be difficult, since the tournament is EU-timed. But we already had a couple of Aussies, who were dedicated enough to fulfill the activity requirements despite the time issues. So its not impossible. Everybody is welcome aslong as they bring some time and dedication with them.

Yup, you guys are right. I was a newb, didn't understand the squad thing. But its not the factual part that im trying to express, its the attitudes of the people im trying to make everyone aware of.
"Get the fuck off the tank!" should be replaced with "Bro this is my tank, don't take it"
"Get the fuck out of the Chopper" should be more like "Bro i need that seat for a full squad, get out!"
Both take just as much breath and energy to say, One is hostile, the other isn't. One explains the situation, the other doesn't. Hostility of the community was my main point here. And just to ad, i didn't even fire a shot from the chopper gunner position.
And your right about tolerating "America, fuck-yeah!!" heroes, but ive only played about 10 games, only 2 of them left me with that feeling i had just been in a real battle, an amazing feeling. The rest were frustrating. At that rate ... 20% Its not a very good conversion rate for GG's
And just to add, i told that certain squad leader what i thought of his decision, and got booted instantly. I haven't played since. Just for the fact that people having been swearing and cursing me left-right and center since i started, but i tell one guy hes a hopeless squad leader (without swearing).... and i get booted from the entire game, instantly. Not even a court-martial happens that fast.
Im sensing a pattern here, and not sure i have the energy to persist.
And yeah, i see i was a bit insulting in the middle of my rant, apologies, didn't mean to insult anyone, just very angry after being booted in that last game.

Cmon bro, im not sure of the exact numbers of people who read entire forum posts before playing a game, but im guessing its like less than 5% ... If that's the attitude you have to new players "understand and read the rules from the get-go or get told to fuck-off" then its no surprise to me now why the rooms are so empty.
And please, don't get too much of a big head about how amazing this game is, its not that much different from ARMA online, realism-wise. So saying this game is in a league of its own and I should act accordingly is only a cop-out, and a diversion from the real issue.
Blame me for the problems all you want, if that makes you feel better. But im not sure how that is going to put more boots on the ground for this game. Noone likes being told to fuck-off or get booted from a game, for whatever reason. Your only encouraging ******** to be .... bigger ********.
Im only trying to help you guys, i could easy just walk away and say nothing, like others do, leaving a big mystery as to why "X-player" left the game, and why the rooms so empty.
Main fact remains: I HAVE NO DESIRE TO PLAY THIS AMAZING GAME. And im sure im not the only one that feels like this. Accept some responsibility for the actions of your community. You cant plead innocence here and blame me for everything. That changes nothing, and helps no one.

Give it a chance. I agree that some attitudes could be better but people get frustrated with these common occurrences and loose politeness and etiquette. DO read the manual, its useful! Play as a rifleman for a good while(maybe even on a local server), learn the ropes and maps, talk to people and if you don't like a squad or the way an SL does things join another or even Squad Lead yourself and see what its like to heard cats to an objective. Besides, if you give up on this you'll be missing out on playing the best on-line FPS multi-player game ever!

In PR its around 95 %. And they are having a great time.
You cannot just hop into PR without some preparation beforehand, that doesnt work. You have to get to know the basic game mechanics and the basic rules before you start playing.
All I tried to do was give you an insight on how things work and give you some hints where to start looking to get better into the game.
I am very happy with the current player numbers. They have been like this for 6 or more years and have a lot of advantages. PR wouldn't work with a playerbase like an AAA game. Every server needs to be moderated heavily with dozens of admins when ever it is online. And you need people with the right mindset to enjoy the game. That will probably be Squads biggest issue when they go live with their game, but we will see and thats another topic.
You have to understand that most vets play nothing else than PR actively for 5-10 years now, and they have to deal with people ignoring rules and behaving like on a BF4 server on a daily basis. Most cannot be bothered anymore to be polite and understanding. Especially since the majority of these people are infact griefers or asshats who don't give a shit about anything. So the first reaction by many people can be some what hostile. But that also strongly depends on the server you are on.
I already told you, if you follow my hints from my previous post, things will play totally different the next time you start the game. Just get to know the basic rules a little, it takes literally 5 minutes. Then take a look at the PR manual (available via launcher), and learn basic game mechanics there, also takes 5-10 minutes.
Then join the game, find a proper INF squad and tell them you are new and want to start off with some easy tasks. Once you get a better understanding of the game you can start doing other stuff. If you follow some simple guidelines no one will raise a word against you.
Also try to join some other servers. Stay away from the chinese server and russian servers, they are both kinda isolated communities who do not speak english on their servers. I would suggest you to join some EU servers, but the ping will probably be too high for you. You can try though, I know some NZ and AUS guys playing on EU times regularly.
PR is the best game out there. ArmA is something totally different, don't compare it to it. I cannot stand ArmA. 1, 2 or 3. Played them all a little and its shit. PR on the other hand, I play daily for over 5 years and I cannot get enough of it. Once you get into the game and get to know some people, you cannot let go of it anymore. You just need to adapt to the community and not expect it to be other way round.

The feeling I'm getting from this thread is that the OP is trying to make the PR community guilty of some atrocity against him whilst he was also in the wrong. And then still mainly blames the community whilst the people responding are trying to rationalize and explain the situation to him.

The community writ large has calcified with a lot of rules and traditions that only make sense if you've been playing for a while, rules like needing to name your squad after the thing you want to be using are convenient solutions to not having an active trustworthy admins or a player base mature enough not to devolve into squabbling children at the first sign of a scarce good.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience, I'd be happy to hold your proverbial hand to get you up to speed on how things are or aren't done if you'd like to give it a second try, shoot me a PM. It's no different from learning the meta of any other game that's been around a while, it just takes time.
Also, no one is questioning why player numbers are what they are. Either they're justifying it by saying it's a normal phase for a modification to an 8 year old game that doesn't have an original active server or they recognize that the community has reached the "bitter veteran" stage where everyone not dedicated is driven away by hostile reactions to not immediately following unintuitive customs.

Dude that attitude is everywhere now a days. Plus, make sure you practice in coop servers first.... it'll help ya.
Most squad leaders (And I mean 90% of them) are nice and are not like that. That squad leader was a ****** bag for saying it like that. BUT.... he isn't a d-bag if he repeatedly said for you to move.
As for the choppers, and jets.... 40% of the users are idiots a lot of times. 20% of them will cry if they don't get their jet or helicopter. The rest are nice though.
Tank operators are usually nice, I'm surprised he said it like that to you. But again, you probably weren't in the squad.
As for infantry squads, seriously I haven't ran into a squad leader like that in a while now. But you have a lot of idiots that joined in 1.3 when PR went standalone. Can't fix that though. Seeing your a Aussie, your limited as hell for what servers your on.
Reading your post, it seems you have a mic. (If you do not, seriously.... I don't have any condolences to you.). Read my PM I sent you though.

Attitude, attitude, attitude..
You need to take one step back and try again. There are a lot of great tips in the previous posts.
I will shout at people taking my APC if I have it reserved through the squad. You have no idea how many people will take the APC all alone and run into the enemy without a gunner of you do NOT shout at them. And if they still do it, I have no hesitation to report it to the admins (in-game using !r (your message)) so they can boot his *** before he gets to the frontline wasting it.
The "rooms" you're talking about, are those squads or servers?
Join infantry squads and don't tell the SL he sucks, if he leads you into death, fucking suck it up or leave and make your own inf squad. I'm sure you would do much better, considered you're a veteran in every FPS game

'[TP wrote:Olsen;2111034']The "rooms" you're talking about, are those squads or servers?
Right now, i see there are only 4 rooms available. The "HOG" room, candyman, and 2 "based teamwork" rooms ... about 400 people playing. They are the rooms im talking about. No Australian room at all, and considering how good this game actually is, they aren't very good numbers at all. A game like this good should have roughly 2000, in my opinion, but im no expert. Once i see a game drop below the 300 average mark, its usually a good sign its gonna die in a year or so, maybe sooner. I might come across a little hostile, and a little angry, but you guys cant blame me for low numbers.
I find it funny also, that someone called "that squad leader" a doucebag in a post above, because that's EXACTLY what i called him (I refrained from swearing ... just) and i was instantly booted. So, fine for him but not for me? And how did i get booted so fast anyways? He was obviously an admin yeah? Did that really merit a complete boot from the site guys? Are my actions really the problem here?
You guys are being nice, and i can feel your restraint from just tearing into me for insulting your community. But as much as you try, The hesitation in me to join another game could be compared to the hesitation that comes to mind when thinking i might have to go down south and visit my gamer cousins for Christmas. Yeah they have good systems and good LAN setups, good games and a comfy lounge room. But unfortunately its just not worth the effort of putting up with their spoilt-*** BS attitudes. Getting angry and throwing tantrums when they don't get their own way. Ummmm ...Thanks anyway, id rather stay home for Christmas and spare myself the torment of having to put up with them. Good systems or not, it aint worth the drama or headaches.
Please save yourself the energy of justifying your community and offering to hold my hand, lm already gone, playing something else. I only write this in the hope something changes in the future, or in the hope that the next "remake" doesn't make the same mistakes. I care about the entire FPS community as a whole, its my "forte" so i only want it to succeed for the greater good of this earth. I have a right to an opinion, and this isn't the only game so don't think im just hating on you guys. CS:GO was worse, far worse, and i refused to play that completely due to the community, even though i was a huge fan of previous games in the series. Seemed everyone out for their own "self" so much so they couldn't even be friendly, so much cursing and swearing, putting people down. I put it down to the introduction of the online ranking system, people caring more about their rank than the team. It was a disgrace to CS, it killed the team based atmosphere of the game and wasn't a place i wanted to "hang out" so i played ARMA instead.
Even in other genres, EVE online, Final fantasy online, DOTA etc etc. this game has to rank as one of the most hostile i have played, not the worst, but defiantly far down the list. Shit even in EVE online i got a bounty on my head for 40million just for rubbing a guy in the wrong way in the HELP chat-room, but even that doesn't compare to being booted by a ego-trippin SL admin with Rambo syndrome who is SO SOFT, he couldn't even handle being called a "******"
You all know, deep inside, that im right.

I am an old.. very OLD returning player from the BF2 mod days..
I totally understand some of your frustration, but PR is NOT like most others. It is more realistic, period. Thats why I really loved it. And hope to get into playing it again.
Think of it exactly as the title suggests, Project Reality.. In reality you must earn respect not expect it, in reality you need to go through boot camp and learn the basics first.
I have not even opened the game yet, I have just been studying the manual and reading the forums since yesterday, because I know what to expect here. A game that is more realistic to what a real fight or war is like. Not mindless garbage like most games, it is not for everyone, but...
You should give it a second chance, form your own squad if you like, it sounds like you have the experience and skill for it. Just dont take it personal when someone chews ur *** out for making mistakes, that is what happens in reality..

Styer27, believe me man.
Every single player that started playing PR without reading the manual and server rules, ended up getting kicked or banned.
I can remember myself like 6/7 years ago, when PRmumble was not even a MUST BE.
I joined some random INF mumble squad.
Me talking trough ingame voice, no respond at all... apparentyly they are using comms in PRmumble.
I ended up getting kicked from the squad.
from the thousands of players u have only met a couple of them, and just cause the attidude of some nerds, u cant blame the community.
if you like the game, but you feel the community is not noobfriendly, and thats the reason u stop playing.
u make a big mistake, nowadays every single multiplayer game, doesnt mather which genre, if u suck or dont know the rules, people in your team will flame at you cause bring problems.
just forgot about everything, read the manual and server rules by typing !rules when u join a server.
and try your best again.
also before i forgot, not every squadleader will be fun to play with.
some tend to attack, some to defend, some to search for enemie forward outpost, some want to build alla day, some patrol. if u think your squadleader is not good enough, just join another squad. easy as that.
after a good month of playing PR u shut be able to slowly start squadleading.
thats the moment when YOU DECIDE what your squad is gonna do. fight? camp? defend? attack?
its all up to the SL

I think an opposition need to be settle on to this thread to make a balance and I am going to make a negative comment.
Man, everyone so far have been very kind for you. Look at the time and care they put to give you an other idea of a game you have been playing for 2 DAYS.
I have a serious background thought that you are trolling us.
You keep coming back with the replies you will leave the game, not come back...
WELL, LEAVE MAN!
You are the one acting like a drama queen, you sensitive little MLG pro player
All that you mentionned in your first post make you look like the kind of player i do not desire to encounter on PR.
Unless you actually intend step on your ''Pro FPS Gamer'' ego and actually try to learn a new way of playing.
Seriously, just leave or listen to the veteran.
I think you make yourself look like an idiot, constantly claiming this game is dying because of cancerous people.
You mentionned little details in your post that reveal the bad attitude you have.. '' Sl saying in comms i am afk '' or '' I was cursing at him ''
So, if i see it in some kind of way, you play idle when people talk to you, and you shit on them when the experienced players get angry... Bud. Gtfo
On an other hand... Maybe the Dev's should set a warning notice when you download the game as of;
'' Warning, the game experience provided in this software is of an other nature than any of your regular FPS, 360 no scope are now useless! Microphone are mandatory! And when you begin, you got no other choice than being a good 'ol blueberry

Even if you are Tacticool

Good Luck! ( And read the manual ) ''

Just leave him be...
Styer might feel its not worth it to be a noob all over again. This game learning curve may hurt many egos.
If he doesnt feel like going through all the learning stages its ok. PR is not for everybody. As well as CS, COD, BF4, Minecraft, SIMS, etc.
What needs to be told is that the level of aggresivness you may receive is always proportional to the level of ignorance, "noobness" you show.
Styer you may not see it like this, but the fact that you got into a PvP game, without Reading the manual, nor the server rules, are pretty offensive and disrespectful things themselves. PR takes time, and you just taking the AR kit, or manning an MG, or a tank is disrespectufl to those who have put so much time into learning how to do it (and have a reserved sq!).
So I do understand some of the BS you got. You simply had no idea you were so out of place. Nor did the guys that treated you like that know, that you were totally lost.
I do not justify the expressions used, but thats just something society suffers everyday, not just a single community.
Just come back in a few days, read the manual and follow the tips you got. YOu may feel different.
I remember one of my first games.I was with this cool SQ, I told them I was a noob. IT was in Sareema. we were hiding in the Woods, and I couldnt come up with a better idea than to shoot the enemy cas with my M4. IT faced us and took down the whole sq. THis guys were frustrated of course (RP was far away and medics down), but they showed such a level of tolerance towards the noob. I apologized, they told me "its fine buddy, next time do what the rest of the Sq is doing, and IF YOU CANT KiLL IT LEAVE IT ALONE, or it will kill you. That is the community I want to be part of, and I feel this is the general gameplay experience I get.
I hope you give yourself a chance and give it one more go!

PR changed alot since 1.3.5 but still its PR !
this is not Battlefield m8 ! dont expect to jump into a tank or heli and say it mine fuck off !!
no read the manual, ask others coz they will help you no matter what !
try to join infy squad more than CAS or Tank squad coz it will take time to understand how it work.
ppl and Admins don't like to see ppl waste valuable assets in the game ! thats why you get booted !
my advice is join empty or co-op server's (i did the same thing) so you understand and learn how to play PR !
good luck
