Need Reinforcements!

We have a lot of good servers, but not nearly enough good players. I suggest a grassroots by-the-players campaign to drum up support for the PRMM, build a sustained player base, increase forum use and feedback, and give us larger, more team-intensive battles!

Ive started a thread in the mod section of the BF2 official forums, there seems to be a decent ammount of trafic there and i suggest that a few of the newer guys here go over and say theyve tried the mod and say what they like about it (not too in depth, just need to get the people who want realism here).

I found your mod by reading a rant about realism on Planet Battlefield. I'll try to respond to more of those reality rants from now on and perhaps drop a modest plug to this website

By the way, I love this little mod, it has some serious potential to get big. And probably the biggest win for everyone here is that the developers are still looking to improve it and are taking suggestions from its users!! Kudos!!

Now offering stat-padding services, good for 50 teamwork points, for the best MEC, US or PRC styled poster advertising PRMM or PR as your "Holy/Patriotic/People's Duty". Or somesuch. Or I might not give you anything! Lets get some propaganda out!

I say, concentrate on adding new content to the mod...more vehicles, new (good) maps, more/different weapons and or different loadouts, etc. People want new new new. Desert Combat got big because people started to pay attention to it because they did something beyond the norm of "hey, lets saturate the market and make a WWII game!"

if you want people to join in, make a good and DIFFERENT game, and people will come all on their own. PRMM has that potential, but make it different enough so that it shines above the usual realism mod that comes out for other mods.

I think realism is great, and its fun to play an existing game style with more realism tapped in...but the community usually doesn't flock to the more realistic version of the game people already like to play. Make something different from vanilla-BF2 but still realistic and more people will come.

Yeah, we need noisy press releases of our renders. With FANFARE and NEEDLESS CAPITAL LETTERS!

WHat bug?

I think what might help is the same thing the Insurgency team is doing.

They have a seperate developer blog for each developer. The developers constantly update with new progress and how they do what they do.

Something like that would get people coming to the site... and we all know after going to the same site about 20 times you'll start to peek around and stick around

Nobody else plays Splinter Cell. Oh well. Artnez and I did some noisy and entirely shameless pluggage on Hardfought today and got three people into the fold, we think.

Splinter Cell? Huh?

Yes, it looks like people were paying attention. We really laid it thick to them

Although you did say you were leaving for a PRMM server... which you never showed up on. It was a great bunch of games.
