Project Reality Forums

When I usually start playing PR I start off with a round or 2 at Battle Arena. One thing that Im sure everyone knows is the fact all the suicide cars are red. I think randomizeing the colors of the suicide car's would be more realistic then the way it is now, after all not every suicide bomber in iraq for example has a white mini-van. That and allot of times while playing as a brit if im not an SL I'll hear a squad mate say "Hey theres a car coming down the road" and allot of times the SL will answer "Leave him its not a bomb car", I would think in real life in a known area of insurgent activity all vehicals would have a certin level of suspition as a suicide vehical. Anyways thats my suggestion

In addition to that suggestion...I suggest that civilian cars being driven by civilians should carry great penalties if blown up. But there should be a way(not a completely obvious one) to differentiate the two.

Arne't they already randomised?

No ^

yeah, keep the red cars, just put the c4 in some black and blue too

Isnt that the idea behind the suggestion

More variations in the colors might instill the fear into the Brits a bit more, since I'm guilty of the 'leave it its not red' mind set.

off topic a little - I have seen a rise in the amount of people jumping into a 'bomb' car they just found only to get to the base and try to start the Jihad music only to hear a horn...then proceed to die, Great for a lol ever time it happens.

Well talking about Jihad music I'd suggest Suicide car= LMB-Boom, RMB-Music, normal car = LMB-Horn, RMB-Music

Its currently LMB - Music and RMB - Boom in the suicide cars...but why have the normal cars play Jihad music in a car than won't blow up?

Because, its nice

This would be a nice touch of realism, despite the fact that I would be annoyed that then I'd have to run from any car coming towards me, but still, it'd be good for realism.

That's a valid point, and it would add realism. I too ignore the non-red cars, which a real British soldier would never do in a battlefield.

I think it's easy to do as well, just make copies of the current bomb car, change some lines of code, apply the textures from the non-bomb civi cars and voila. It could have some extra work I'm not aware of, tho.

I agree with this suggestion, since im guilty of the "if its not red leave it" mentality.
Also, i want the cantina music back.

Each color on a car needs a new texture map and tweak files, This make the mod bigger and bigger. So its just not a big issue.

just so other people dont run into the problem i ussualy have with bomb cars (getting in and ramming a tank then to realise it wasnt a bomb car.) they should have it so at the bottom corner of ur HUD ONLY FOR BOMB CARS will exist a little sign that says "press (?????) to activate bomb"

It would be good to have this in the next release, but if it ads more filesize, then wait a bit longer I say.

me wants music of 0.6 back !!
And the idea of randomizing cars is allright.

yeh random car colours that are already in use like the blue adn white ones would be great means no extra texturing or file bla bla stuff

I think it's worth the extra work and size. You say it's not a big issue but have you not thought of how much it would effect gameplay? Just like people were saying, the brits would have no clue what kind of car any random one would be so they would have to be a lot more cautious and other stuff like that. The insurgents could even form strategies like driving in with only 1 bomb car and a bunch of others but the brits wouldn't know which one to kill.

Cool, tell us when it's done.

Change the Jihad-car music back to how it was in v0.6!
It was a lot louder in 0.6, and the song itself was better. Currently its so low that I cant hear it, and the music itself isnt that good.
The music in v0.6 was fun to listen at, change it back please

Oh another thing; what about adding more jihad-cars to Al Basrah (and other maps..), or reduce the spawntime on them?
