Greetings,

Just installed the latest Full version. First bug I noticed is no link in my Start Menu to launch the game. Being tech smart I just copied my BF2-SF and editied the copy to launch PR. No biggie for me but this could confuse many people and it is not professional looking.

I don't know the names yet of the maps (the one with East and West Beach) but I used the Anti-Air near the Factory as the medic class. I am almost sure I had my rifle equipped, but anyway, I tried to exit the AA using my "use" key (g for me) and I was not able to leave. I could here is making the shock sound from the paddles everytime I pressed the exit key. I tried selecting my rifle but it made no difference. I was stuck and had to kill myself to exit.

But so far so good. Very much the style of play I was wishing from BF2 to start with. Good work over all! So nice to get a kill run with the AK just tapping out the single shots, taking my time, and dropping em.

Only other quibble would be to get someone to help with your PR (Public Relations) to promote this game to get more players on the servers. Lucky for me the only stocked server out there had good ping for me. First time playing and I was always in the top three slots in scores for both teams. Normally mid to high with BF2. So this version is really my style.

Keep it up and thanks so much for the hard work,

CB

haha, yeah i've experienced that bug a fair few times. i normally just hammer a few extra keys and activate some other screens until i exit that emplaced weapon rather than hear my non-existent shock paddles charging up!!!

Glad to hear you like the mod.

As for the AA/AT rocket launcher bug, thats a vBF2 issue AFAIK. I've had it before in other mods and in vBF2. Its just unfortunate, tbh.

If you want to you can change the icon on the PR Shortcut to be the PR symbol - right click it, properties, "Change Icon..." and navigate to the PR folder (C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\PR and there are 2 icons to choose from - the grey 2 or the old PR icon. Choose either and it looks much nicer!

Thanks for the Icon note, but I did that already being tech smart and all. I used the grey number two with the rifle across the front.
