PR Love & Hate

Hello World!

I just wanted to share my experience on playing PR for a few weeks.

First impression. My first experience with PR online was AWESOME! Got in, joined a squad, told them it was my first experience and they took care of me. Jumped into their truck, we stealthily hide behind a ridge waiting for a JDAM to drop on enemy held village. BOOOM! We assaulted and capped a flag. An A-10 dove in from the skies and rained hell on some infantry, trucks and APCs. It was WAR! And it was fun. Not that I like war, but I enjoy computer gaming!

Rating: 9/10 and I've been playing for some 25 years.

Worst. My worst experience was last night. Kashan. Of course. Joined the game, spawned at US main and was waiting for a pickup or a vehicle to spawn. I was on the server for a few seconds when I went over to heli pad to catch a ride (waiting for spawn). There was a guy next to me and some seconds later the Cobra spawned! Yes! I can fly! I'm actually quite good at flying helis and got a nice Sidewinder. When I was a few meters from the heli I requested a pilot kit and at that time the OTHER GUY (Mora, something from the Netherlands) realized that he just missed that the Cobra just spawned. So he SHOT ME! In the back. I didn't die, but I coughed like hell and threw a dressing on the ground. Seconds later he jumped in the heli and chatted "We're low on gunners" (he was alone in his squad). At that time I left my squad, joined HIS squad and asked him: "Why did you shoot me?". He replied "Your dying, get out". Then he kicked me from his squad and I died. He got a teamkill of course.

I was shocked that PR had this kind of childish and idiot behaving people around. I was having a hard time understanding why this person is playing PR instead of vanilla BF2. He shot me JUST to be the pilot of the Cobra. I would gladly hand over the stick to him if he asked. I could be his gunner if he asked. Instead he shot me in the back, I died and he had his little fun - lonely - in his precious chopper. Remark: Pilot kits should contain hand lotion and some toilet paper as additional equipment.

GAAAH! I was so angry I almost blew him out of the sky with the Linebacker that spawned nearby. But I calmed down and joined an awesome squad that got 12.000 points altogether at the end of the round.

Keep up the good work PR team!

Feature request: It would be an good idea to spread out assets more to avoid spawn camping, especially on some maps like Kashan. Or maybe there should be a penalty in camping around the main base for more than a few minutes. Dunno. Most of us would prefer that people could grow up and stop such irratic behaviour like shooting team members because they want a precious asset. I know that this kind of things have been discussed all over the forum, but I wanted to add some more ;)

The safest place to fly is your local server.

Also, that MoraNL guy is regular poster here, will he reply to this? :rolleyes:

Dude, I guess your right.

I would love MoraNL to read my post and reply to it. That will be interesting reading. I even try to ask him to read my post.
--Edit: PM:ed NL-Mora-NL with a link to this post. Hope this will be constructive talk.

Thanks! Yep, we played together the other night (i was using my other nick (Treudd) at that time.). Great teamwork! Love to do that again. It's such a great thing using VOIP, especially in Swedish ;)

I think this is just an unfortunate fact of life for PR players. There will always be TKing D-bags who think they deserve to fly the chopper, but thankfully they pretty are few and far between. All of these idiots will eventually be banned on the good servers, and that's why I don't shoot them back.

This thread has been circulating for some time, but it's a story at how this vBF2 player got back at his team killer. It's entertaining, believe me.

Well, he could easily have been waiting there for 20 minutes for that chopper. You spawned in, ran over to the spawn area, and took the chopper he'd been waiting for.

If I'd had a few to drink, chances are I would have shot you myself.

If you wait 20 minutes for vehicles instead of helping the team you don't deserve the chopper. :p I hope this guy gets banned from all the good servers.

Did you even read the op? The other guy didn't have a gunner anyways, or he could've been the gunner.

Mora,.. His name sounds like a dutch fried food company..

The friggin kroket.

He isn't worthy to be Dutch, let's lynch him!


Well... maybe we should not.. he is Dutch and that makes it all allright.. maybe he is childish,.. but everybody has his childish moments..

anyway,. let's punish this childishness and ***** slap him for all he has done wrong to humanity!

^ in this case since Trident338 is a really mature player, a little talk would have solved the problem.

btw, welcome to the forums Trident :)

Well. I was standing near the Littlebird spawn pad. He was at one of the BH pads. I was looking (east?) at the other pads. He was looking at me (west). And he wasn't looking at the Cobra heli pad. So. I guess. If you camp around for 20 minutes, why are you looking at the wrong pad? I guess he wanted a BH or something. But, if I would wait 20 minutes for a chopper I would also be shooting at everyone and everything just to get it. Of course. Life is too short to let others fly MY helicopters. :lol: He's just seventeen. Let's not go hard on him. Actually. I feel like a grown up compared to him ;) Let him have his choppers, next time I will congratulate him for at least killing someone! (me).

Tk'ing for a chopper is LAME!! That is BS. If I was waiting 20mins for a chopper I would be sitting next to the spawn point, have an idea of when it drops time wise and then mash the damn button until it spawned. There rarely an excuse for teamkilling for vehicles. Yeah if this is true, mora is a regular on here and shouldn't be acting like such a ******-biggalo.

Kan du prata svenska?
Jag kan prata svenska mycket liten, jag kommer från irak
Och Vällkommen till Project Reality Forums :)

^
Atm im learning swedish

Back on topic: Yeah, I spawned once, saw a BH, got in, some other guy spawned, was like "BABAGURGUR GET OUT OF MY BLACKHAWK!!!" I and replied via the comm. ross. "negative", he then proceeded to get in a AA and blast me to the INTL. Space station, maybe there should be a huge penalty for tk'ing side your base?

Haha, that Tim Russel article was awesome. OP should do the same thing to this Mora guy. :D

OT: Kul att det är så många svenskar som spelar! Spelade själv faktiskt med en helt svensk squad en gång, och det är faktiskt riktigt najs att inte behöva tänka på engelskan hela tiden. :p

Welcome Trident. Hope to see you in game.

About ppl killing for vehicles...

Yeasterday I was playing Gulf of Oman - I think thats the name with MEC and US carrier and beach... ok so:
My squad was by the big warehouse with metal fence around it. I told My SL to bring the truck so we can built a firebase here and strenghten the defence (we already took out 2 apc, 3 blackhawks, command post and numerous troops). He took on truck out of two that were standing a grid from us. I hear the trucks engine and shoots...
I see that my SL is driving a truck and behind him there is bunch of blues running and gunning the truck.... I think WTF.

SL stops the truck by the warehouse and gets out blues run to him and from maybe 5 cm HEADSHOT! One of my squadies killed the other SL that killed ours his SM killed my SM, then another MY SM killed the other one, and the civil war begun :)

Why you ask? Because our SL have "stolen" their one of two trucks theyve brought themselfs for... exacly... no response. Just so the trucks can sit there and have no use to the team. I explained everything about taking the truck and setting the firebase in chat and everyone understanded the excesive TEAMKILL messages. After that the other squad was flamed by others and they were not any trouble this round.
