Project Reality Forums

hi all, this is my first post here however i have been playing and lurking around here for quite a while.

Anyway the reason for me posting is that i havent had a good round since 0.7 came out, i know the removing squad leader spawning was meant to add more realism but ive found its spoilt the gameplay. I cant remember the last time i was in a squad that stook together now it seems everyone just does their own thing since it is extremely difficult to get the whole squad together. If there is teamwork once you have died its near impossible to get back with your squad because you cant take a vehicle just for yourself so end up either alone or just getting dropped off anywhere by someone else.

I was just wondering what everyone else's view on this is?

One thing I find really hypocrite (no offense intended) about PRM is that most of the time all I get is bad rounds and worse rounds, then after I already get a headache from just thinking about all those rounds, there's a a couple of good rounds or even awesome, that hook me back and make me hug PR. <3

And I know, that I'll get a **** load of bad rounds after it, but I can't stop...I love PRM

agree with outlawz. its the really awesome rounds that make me come back to PR.

as for spawning...the rallies shouldnt be THAT far away from where you're attacking unless ur SL is incompetent or its just one of those extremely hostile zones that ur rally cant be near that CP. and i did feel the same way about SL spawning being removed, but after a while, i got use to it and it doesnt seem like a problem

Agree. If I have a bad round, I either switch server or just leave the computer alone for a few hours. Perhaps leave a rant on the forums and then grab a mate and jump back in.

Fully agree with Outlawz. After a while of really bad rounds, long while Im thinking about giving up PR. Its just not worth all the stress about noobs and being killed every 35 seconds .

But this evil game knows it... IT KNOWS! and is giving me the best round ever, epic. Something I can compare with best movies. Makes me feel like Im really there with my friends in arms that I can rely on.
PR wont let me leave... it wont ANYONE leave... be aware... for me its already to late...

rally's and CO assets

When and where are you playing on?


I agree that some rounds can be a pain in the butt, but seriously can't be that bad .

-This is the failure of the players and has nothing to do with the removal of the SL spawn. Some people just don't bother, keep out of their/keep them out of your squads. Today I've played a brilliant Engineer round where my squad built assets and defended, squad cohesion was great and the SL was good(Somewhat inexperienced). We managed to place the assets in strategic locations where no flag was far away and dismantled the ones at the back of the line as we progressed. Slowly we pushed the enemy backwards and eventually broke their back.
-Next, I had a good time on Kashan, despite losing the match and a lack of coordination between squads. And guess what, advancing on foot across Kashan is quite fun; reconnaissance, patrolling, small firefights, target acquisition for jets, defending flags, assaulting enemy positions(And a hilarious suicide run by my squad near the end that almost succeeded despite staggering odds). It's awesome, actually.
-Right now it's a little slow on the servers and I've been server jumping for a few minutes, but it's beginning to pick up again.

Double Thread! Cool

Anyway try to wisely choose a squad to join. See if SL having officer kit, and where his squad is, etc.
Usually, squads with only names different than Alfa, Bravo,..., can guarantee you a quite good fight.

use voip kick anyone who doesn't have it or cooperate from your squad. thats how i work. its the only way to encourage people to use teamwork.

Sorry for the short lock, just wanted to make sure that the merging worked ok.

sorry for the double post i edited my orignal post and it must of made two. I guess one of the problems is i dont have enough time to play often so it seems i have mainly bad games. It just seemed before 0.7 i could jump in a game and even if there wasnt direct teamwork you would normally have your squad around you.

-It depends a lot on when you play. You just need to find out when the veteran players are on and check out the right servers. Check the squad you are joining: Does the SL have an officer's kit? What squads have deployed rally points? Where are they on the map? You could also check if there is a commander, and if there is you also check for deployed assets.

Are you $hifty on servers?

Well when I know that my team is gonna loose (say the tickets are wide apart and that their team has almost all the flags - like a few times on Qwai) I just grab an Spec Ops kit and goto to the enemies main, It's so fun.
