Project Reality Forums

When ever I play Pr i always notice people just running through a street without cover or cover fire. I also see 1 person trying to kill at least 2 guys in an enemy squad and know their going to die just do it anyways because they know their going to respwan in 40 seconds. I just hate when people do this, so I'm asking some people to think of ideas of how to prevent this happening. (put it in the suggestions forum)

Uhm... time for the "players are hardcoded" again?

You'd have to make them fear death, and the only to me known way to do so is some kind of penalty system. Long respawn times that means - and we already have it, more or less. But another few minutes will rather make many people fear the mod, than the death in the mod, i'm afraid.

(Though i do of course agree, a bit more careful movement etc, even if just roleplayed, would be good often. But i think there are limits in a game, fear of death is one of them, unless you kick the player from the server for a death... which will cause people to lay aside their weapons and meet in the middle of the map so they can at least stay on the server and have some fun throwing non-lethal items around )

Yeah, I'm too care free as well somtimes cuz I cant be bothered and the 30-60 second respawn gives me enough time to have a biscuit

on the next signups join the PRT we actually cover eachother

i am one of those people

Me too



Sometimes i just think, 'F*** this', and run round the corner and let rip with an SAW

Good for letting out frustration

maybe after getting TOO many deaths in a certain amount of time then they get kicked...but that would be unfair if you are being base raped...

but im not that careless and dont c many carless ppl...so im fine how it is

Off-topic, but if you join, try to join NATO or CATA 1! I made the mistake of joining (or being placed in) CATA 2 - it's tougher to win, as the majority of the veterans are on NATO/CATA 1. Marshaling the 2s to victory is difficult, but possible, as the 2s always face the 1s in battle.

Back on topic, there really isn't a way to solve this with another annoying gameplay rule to follow.

Yeah, players are hardcoded. Increased spawntimes doesnt work either since players are............

... Coded hard?

I'm afraid that you will never have true realism in that since unless you could hook players up to something that would like, punch them in the face or shock them if they died or got hit. If you want true realism you could try joining the Army probably, thats the only way you're going to get it.
Personally I like having positive K/D ratios so I try not to get shot to much but I'm not everyone. If you send people money for having positive K/D ratios it that would probably work.

Solution: Mandatory self punch to the balls each time you die. Problem solved.

Remove the kills from the scoreboard, so people won't care about "the kills."

Don't remove anything else. I've had enough of these feature removals.

how would removing the kill count make people less careless about dying? I don't get it. all that would do is make people less concerned with their score, atleast in the "running count" sense.

I think it's fine how it is. add everything up... long respawn, no SL spawning, and fairly long jog from the nearest FB/RP and people have enough of a reason not to wander off and die, and some people still choose to do it, and well.. that's what being an american is all about.

The thing that gets me the most deaths is the aiming system. I just cant seem to kill anyone EVEN when they are right in front of me and I empty a clip in them! I know that being prone or crouched helps and not moving helps. But for some reason it doesnt help me but the enemy who is jumping around me ( true story ) or just running towards me ( also true story )

lol fail, devs stop changing this for the better, gclark dosnt want any more stuff removed....

come on man, removal of things are for the better

removal of kills on the in-game Tab score might do the trick, that way they will only know how much they die and accomplish nothing for it.

Display kill stats on the end scoreboard only plzkkthx

then people will still try to get kills

Just increase the bullet impacts sounds and explosiion sounds. Make them LOUD and earth-shattering. It'll make things scarier.

Agreed, some nice big bangs and loud bullets will make me smile
