Why all the smacktards?

I predicted that the release of 1.5 would mean a whole bunch of script kiddies would come over to PR, as their scripts stopped working on the newly patched vanilla servers, but why are there so many smacktards ever since the patch was released? It's not like the new people trying the new version of PR, these people seem to know how to play the mod, they are just totally incompetent and apathetic, and in some cases malicious.

There were openly racist people on RT, not a single pilot on UKWF could fly and I found one person with a microphone on the entire team one time.

Does anyone have any theories as to why so many retards are playing PR right now? I'm sure it is a temporary thing, but it really annoys me.

Are you by any chance talking about the Jew jokes some guys was making? W/E stupid people just forget about them, actually tbh I have some really good games lately. That Karbala round was really good, and when I took joined and took over the APC squad we kicked *** :) Sometimes you may run into a bad bunch of games by luck, happens to everyone. But yeah I did hate how that admin on RT changed the map and everyone got pissed and left :(

Yeah that's what I was talking about. I have had a couple of good rounds today too but surely you must have noticed the noob rush, it's in full force at this very moment.

I've found that recently (and historically) pilots are some of the worst smacktards.
I love to fly in PR and do it frequently, but I always practice many many times in a training server.
The other day this guy asked me if I wanted to fly the Apache with him, but I said no because I hadn't trained with it enough.
Hueys suit me just fine for now. ;)

The other day on the 24/7 Kashan server, we had this Apache squad that kept losing the Apaches over and over. Thye got like 12 kills overall with them.
Meanwhile, I got in the Littlebird, flew to South Outpost, and raped an MEC squad that was building a Firebase. :)

There are plenty of good pilots out there, but there are unfortunately many more bad ones.
Rounds can be won or lost simly based on the skill of the pilots, which is somewhat unfortunate.

Well when the "smacktards" learn what PR is all about, It will be better and a bigger PR community

... but how long would that take?

... I mean... especially since i've started being a part of PRT.. i've noticed that a lot more players are... well.. blatantly smacktards. They really.. REALLY stand out.

o.O tho occasionally i will act the part myself... > > only when hyper though..

Pub play is at its worst than I have ever seen, people with little to no knowledge of critical assets are rampant and Its far and few between the new players that use mics now. I guess it just comes with a larger playerbase.

While most of what you say is true:

1) Right now anyone who dies quickly in a helicopter I have sympathy for, and I know how to fly well enough...

2) Pilots are only as good as their team, if your pilots are dieing all the time (not just by flipping on the helipad, then it is their fault) is your fault too.

Some of you don't seem to understand what I'm saying, these aren't just new guys picking the mod up for the first time, these are total and utter idiots who have no respect for anyone and they have just started appearing in force since the release of 1.5. Today I have been teamkilled multiple times, I have had kits stolen and people joined my squad and paid no attention to me whatsoever.

I think that these are just players from vBF2 who haven't yet or can't be bothered to install 1.5, so they play this and ruin it for everyone.

There were openly racist people on RT
names to the RT forums asap. Chat logs will show their guilt.

There are few things that give me more pleasure on the internet than seeing racists being banned.


These are the times when only the well admined servers will survive. !k !b !w shall destroy our enemies, who happen to be teh enemies of good peace loving folk.

Maybe you need some patience? Tbh most games of PR end up like that for me most of the time, minus RT (EU) which is the only server I will play on now.


It won´t be that long before 0.87 is out I am sure and then it might get a little better?

Yah and when they are from south usa they put a lot of emphasis on their southern accent and acting slow while speaking. When I hear that accent in my squad it makes me fret. They made me totally biased against southern usa XD .
Look, i've found this reliable! profitable forex system

sorry alex i have to disagree. the person flying the aircraft is responceable for everyone in it. no matter how experienced they are. from the newest player to the best pilot in the community. the one at the controls is they guy that moving the soldiers, and with doing so, has to take responcablitiy of transporting them safely. otherwise they should never be flying in the first place.

^ cut the pilots some slack though

I firmly believe the vehicle is ultimately the driver's/pilot's responsibility, but sometimes it is lack of cohesion that results in teh loss of a chopper.

If the chopper is lost in a rediculous way a

'!k Train on a training server before flying' works fine, they can rejoin and continue the fun on the ground until they do.

Jedimushroom I have really noticed the noob behavior rise a lot. I just got back from playing a game of Jabal on TG, and we all all our helos in like 1 min. Before I got kicked for cursing the pilots out (lol), our team lost 5-6 choppers, all crashed. Even the RT servers are starting to feel the heat. You know during that round of Karbala I was talking about, I had ordered a guy to get into our second apc, instead of doing so he garbed a com truck, rushed into a firefight got out and got killed. The taxi com trucks really ruin the blufor's chance of winning :( Idk whats going on, maybe its just a unlucky rise of bs?

I have to admit it was a lot worse than I originally thought. Here I'm ridding shotgun in the LB, before I joined the strykers. Squad3 kicked me out, and is abusing the MG system. I have seen too many stupid locked 2 man squads. I'm tried off all the people abusing the MG system. This is on EU RT

Here we see a no mic squad, and 2 squads with no real leader. This is on Virgina USA.

Now we see 2 cobra squads doing inf work, and of course wasting tickets :( Virgina USA again :(

This is just some of the BS I found today :(
