You'll be staying once you've played it and found out that it's way better than BF2. ;)

you have to work together to win, most people use mics, it feels more realistic and is less forgiving than bf2

I like to think of it as the happy medium between vbf2 and arma

Teamwork :shock: :shock: :mrgreen: You'll love it mate, just before you try anything, read the manual and get a basic idea of what the game is like :)

Read the manual, don't jump into the pilot seat of any aircraft without trying on a LAN or training server first, join a squad named "VOIP" "EN VOIP" "TW" "VOIP TW" or anything along these lines and listen to the squad leader. Otherwise you might do mistakes that'll be very frustrating.

But as long as you read the manual and stick with your (hopefully good) squad, you'll enjoy it.

It´s simple... there is no secret.
PR doesn´t suit everybody. Some find this mod to be boring and very "unrealistic" for various reasons.
It also takes a while to learn all the new stuff that you can and can not do.
Read up on the manual.
Try it out on a local server or training server, before you join a real server.

^^ hmm, maybe :p

Once you play it mate as someone has already said, get in a teamwork squad, and dont be afraid to ask questions.

Plus if you get no answers from the squad your in, dont be disheartened, just keep trying and you will eventually get to where you are meant to be going :D

PR is to BF2 like Steak and Shake is to Fast Food.

Just take a little more time and care and personalize it a bit, add a few new things and some little deserts, and you got a meal thats greater than getting to heaven

(Just to inform, I love Steak and Shake as much as I love PR.... :-o )

A few basics:

Your weapon is not a lazooor so take aim, wait, and shoot.

If you jump you can't fire your weapon for about 1-2 seconds after you land, so don't bunny hop or you'll get yourself killed.

Winning depends on the coordination of your squad and your team, work together towards a common objective.

Do what your Squad Leader tells you to do.

The shovel is used for constructing assets(Firebases, foxholes, AA, HMGs, etc.), just stay next to the asset and hold down the mouse key to construct.

Keep your greasy little fingers off the vehicles and limited kits(These can be requested through your comm rose if you're next to supply crates). Vehicles are not your personal one man taxi, and choppers/planes do not operate in the same manner as in vBF2(Set up a local server or join an online training server and get good there before wasting assets on game servers). Tanks and APCs require two crewmen, one manning these assets will get you kicked from the server.

No, the squad does not need your 1337 sniporz ability, stick with basic kits or whatever limited kit your SL tells you to pick up(He might, on some occasions, tell you to pick up a marksman or sniper kit :D ).

SAWs(Automatic Rifleman kit) have two modes, deployed and undeployed; in deployed it will only fire when you're prone but with excellent accuracy, undeployed it will fire in any stance but with a lot less accuracy.

Sniper and Marksman kits require you to stay still for some time to settle in before you can aim with any accuracy(Find your spot, lie down, wait 8 seconds with sniper, then you can fire with great accuracy every 2-4 seconds as long as you do not move(WASD) or do a 180 degree turn).

To fly you need a pilot kit, to drive APCs, Tanks, AAVs, and so on you need a crewman kit.

The Medic has resuscitate and epipen in his inventory. The resuscitate is used to unstick players from objects and so on(Which makes them unrevivable as long as they're stuck), the epipen works just like the shock paddles. To heal with the medic bag you hold down your mouse key.

And lots of other stuff that I can't be bothered to write right now.

don't get hooked on the "reality" part of the name. that's what most people trip over when they try the mod and get their expectations of what reality is destroyed ;P
