Welcome to the =MeRk= PR Clan Site. We play the Project Reality (PR) Mod for Battlefield 2 (BF2) online. We are all committed to quality team play, with our priorities firmly set in the winning through superior tactics and teamplay.

We do not accept applications to join.

If you want to become a member you will have to play where and when we are playing, try to join squads we are in and impress us with your teamwork. Although individual skill sets are important, we absolutely insist that you play for the squad and team first. Anyone of us would drop a choice kit and grab the medics kit to get a team mate up. Giving up or leaving a team mate is not an option.

If you think you are dealing with a run of the mill gaming clan, think again, you are in the wrong place. For mediocrity look elsewhere


Any of us are willing to answer questions about the clan, PR or our server rules, we all look to improve the clan in whatever way possible. We all will jump in where required to help. Duties often overlap.

We are always looking for good team players. We will pass names of people we think are up to wearing our tags to those responsible for recruitment. You need to impress us with your teamwork, attitude and how you act. We dont accept applications, we are strictly invite only.


Main Server rules



Rule 1 DO NOT GO NEAR THE ENEMY'S FIRST UNCAPPED / GREY FLAG AT ROUND START!

Rule 2 DO NOT INSULT / PROVOKE OTHER PLAYERS.

Rule 3 DO NOT TEAMKILL / FORCE A TEAMKILL.

Rule 4 DO NOT FLY UNLESS YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE.

Rule 5 NAME YOUR SQUAD AFTER ITS JOB/ROLE EG. APC SQUAD, CAS SQUAD.

Rule 6 DO NOT USE A HEAVY ASSET ALONE / USE VEHICLES AS TAXI.

Rule 7 DO NOT CREATE A SQUAD BEFORE 2:00.

Rule 8 DO NOT USE HEAVY ASSETS BEFORE 14V14.

Rule 9 DO NOT ATTACK MAINBASES WITH ANYTHING.

Rule 10 DO NOT DISRUPT GAMEPLAY.

Rule 11 PLEASE USE A PROPER NAME WHEN ON THE SERVER.

Rule 12 YOU MUST JOIN A SQUAD / DO NOT STEAL LIMITED KITS FROM A SQUAD.

Detailed Rules List:
1 "DO NOT GO NEAR THE ENEMY'S FIRST UNCAPPED / GREY FLAG AT ROUND START!.": Do not rush the enemy's first grey / uncapped flag at the start of a map, you may only approach it if the AAS marker says so. If you can spawn on/near a grey flag then that is allowed. Clearing out flags and then moving on is fine once all flags are capped at round start, but prolonged "camping" is not acceptable.

2 "DO NOT INSULT OTHER PLAYERS.": Do not insult any other player. Discrimination, racism and flaming is not tolerated.

2.1 "DO NOT PROVOKE OTHER PLAYERS.": Do not provoke other people. You are not allowed to shoot them, push them of ledges, make them hurt themselves, etc.

3 "DO NOT TEAMKILL.": Do not deliberately kill your own team mates, destroy team assets, FOBs or anything that can be counted as an asset to your team. Remember, it's up to you too watch out for your tripmines/traps! Always apologise for any teamkills, they do happen!

3.1 "DO NOT FORCE A TEAMKILL.": Do not force a player to teamkill you or anyone. Do not stand infront of vehicles blocking them, etc.

4 "DO NOT FLY UNLESS YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE.": Don't know how to fly? Don't do it. Go to our training server instead, IP & Port can be found on our homepage.

4.1 "DO NOT USE TRANSPORT HELICOPTERS AS CAS. " : Do not use transport helicopters as CAS, engaging enemies on your direct route to your appointed destination is allowed, if the pilot says it is ok.

5 "NAME YOUR SQUAD AFTER ITS JOB/ROLE EG. APC SQUAD, INF SQUAD.": If you're going to use a heavy asset name your squad accordingly, first named squad ALWAYS has priority on said asset, if you want to use a reserved vehicle, ask the squad, if they do not reply DO NOT take it.
If you're going infantry it is not neccesary to name your squad 'Infantry or INF', however it does make it easier for people finding your squad and joining it.

5.1 "NAME YOUR SQUAD AFTER ITS JOB/ROLE EG. APC SQUAD, INF SQUAD.": The Sniper/HAT/AA kit are not included as assets. Naming your squad after one of those does not give you priority use over it.
Furthermore leave those kits to the people that needs it, do not carry it around just because you like it. Using a kit improperly is unacceptable.

6 "DO NOT USE A HEAVY ASSET ALONE.": Using a heavy asset alone, such as one-manning a tank is not acceptable. If your driver/gunner gets killed or loses connection immediately return it to its spawn location or your teams mainbase.

6.1 "DO NOT USE A VEHICLE AS TAXI."
Furthermore this rules also includes driving vehicles out and abandoning them. Do not use a vehicle as a taxi, ask someone else if they could drive you there. If they do not wish to you still cannot use a vehicle as taxi.
Only grab a vehicle if you know your squad is going to use it or there is a very high possibility you will need to use it.

6.2 "RAMMING/ROADKILLS.": Swerving to hit an enemy who is on the road in front of you is allowed. Actually turning (as in changing direction through roughly 90 degrees) is NOT allowed and will result in a kick/temp ban. Doing doughnuts round and round to hit an enemy will result in a perm ban. THIS IS NOT GTA!

7 "DO NOT CREATE A SQUAD BEFORE 2:00.": Never create a squad until the countdown timer has reached 2:00, doing so might cause the squad bug on your/enemies team forcing a server restart.
Doing this on purpose will invoke a permanent ban without any possibility of appealing on the forums.

8 "DO NOT USE HEAVY ASSETS BEFORE 14V14.": Do not use any heavy assets (APCs, tanks, attack helicopters, etc.) until there are 14 people on each side.

9 "DO NOT ATTACK MAINBASES WITH ANYTHING.": This goes for all maps. The only exception is the Insurgents that are allowed to fire on mainbases with small arms. This does not include(mortar, suicide vehicles, explosives etc). Basically you can use your rifle and that is it.

10 "DO NOT DISRUPT GAMEPLAY.": This rule includes anything and everything that disrupts gameplay. Examples: Mining bridges leading out of main bases, camping near mainbases, camp the only acceses leading out of main bases, jeopardizing assets bunnyhopping, griefing friendlies and so on. Play the game the way u want the enemies to play against you, and use your brain! (We here at =MeRk= hope you have one at least.)

11 "PLEASE USE A PROPER NAME ON THE SERVER.": This rule applies to everyone who joins =MeRk= servers, Having a name like " ..... " or "0o0o0o0o0o" will either get you kicked or banned. We want to know who is playing and having names such as those is unacceptable.

12 "YOU MUST JOIN A SQUAD / DO NOT STEAL LIMITED KITS FROM A SQUAD." : You must join a squad before or immediately after you spawn or you may be kicked. Do not join a squad to steal a kit.
Example : Joining a squad taking an AR, a sniper, HAT or another limited kit and then leaving that squad. This can result in the sqaud not being able to function as they wished to.
Advice: When joining a squad, ask your SL what kit he needs you to take. Listen to your SL and try to follow his orders. Try not to spam communications as he maybe trying to talk to other SL's about the enemy.

<3 c0c0

Hey guys,thank for the support and feedback its much appreciated

I play on MeRk most every day and for good reason:

• Stern but fair admins who get the job done
• Good map rotations
• Friendly atmosphere
• Excellent teamwork and coordination

I consider the MeRk server to be one of if not the best UK server in the PR community, and that's saying something. Special events like Pilot Rescue and Infantry-focus games have been very successful and I look forward to participating in future endeavours.

Their website is great, with a good variety of forums and easy access to Battlerecorder.

If you want an enjoyable, well-supervised and rewarding PR experience, you can't go wrong with MeRk

See you tonight!

Always had brilliant rounds on MeRk!

Nice one fellas,thanx again for the compliments we do try our best to make our server and website a good,well remembered place to be and to hear feedback like this is great!

Hope to see you guys back on the battlefield soon (on MeRk) ofc lol

Seriously the best PR-server I have played on (there are many damn good ones, so this should say alot). That's why I and all my friends in BfG play there everyday. Have got to be good friends with the admins and they are all teamworkoriented players with nice manners and a laid back attitude.
The keep the server clean from cheaters and nonteamplayers as best one can.
Also think its good they take care of new players and don't noob em out like many others do.
I'ts real nice that many of (IMO) better clans hang there and provide us with tuff fights everyday.
Cheers to you all for the best server =)

I've played on this server once. I think I remember server rules popping up along the top of the screen and saw a message about Mumble. If you're going to encourage Mumble, I suggest you get your own channel on the PR server.

Players like myself are not going to bother looking for your server details as I'm too lazy but I always use Mumble, it was just a shame that I didn't use it on your server.

Most players either wont see the info for your Mumble server or will be too lazy to bother joining it so if you want more Mumble users, get a channel.

Thankyou for your post Smeggie I think we do have our own PR mumble channel in fact 2 under =MeRk= Tactics (Europe) and =MeRk= Training (Europe) although admittedly I dont use it much myself (with squad chat and admining with ventrillo it overpowers my old head ) i'll put it on more often as we do advertise as a mumble server thanks.

Abullet

p.s. thanks fella's for the feed back much appreciated.

-Inusrgents may attack the Blufor main with anything EXCEPT mortars.

Does this mean INS can attack blufor main only from outside? Or that they can attack it with anything except mortars AND suicide vehicles?

Also the part about naming a squad HAT if they want to use a heavy AT kit. So if my infantry squad (named inf) suddenly needs an AT, i have to rename it or risk being kicked?

To answer you queries Bufl4x the INS team can attack the Blufor main and are allowed to shoot into it they are NOT allowed to fire mortars into it. When it says that nothing that the INS own should enter Blufor bases unless fire is being returned this also refers to bomb cars/trucks. So for example if the apc is sat behind the barriers to the base on fallujah west shooting past them it is acceptable to use a bomb car on it. However if it was inside the main repairing for example driving a bomb car into the main and blowing it up is not acceptable as it disrupts game play and can ruin the match. INS can enter the main if they are returning fire however the dome of death would make short work of anyone moving on foot.

To answer your question about the heavy anti-tank kit if there is a named squad and your inf squad also needs one all you need to do is ask the HAT squad. If you take the kit without permission and restrict the named squad from their named asset you do run the risk of getting kicked.

Thank you for the query

Regards

M.Cunningham

Hello mate

Thanks for the feedback!

We change the map rotation regularly, we have a couple of members who do this on a regular basis.

Our aim is to keep a nice mix of maps and styles, I'm sure the lads in charge of map and server will read this and take your comments on board.

Cheers

Hi there mate!
As Rantbox was getting at, we like to change the maplist quite often to freshen things up on the battlefield and we find doing this, provides the best battles!

Although it may seem like the 'not-so' popular maps like "Seige At Ochamira" won't be as interesting as the 'more popular' maps like "Muttrah City".

I can guarantee that there is always an epic round, with lots of flag caps and firefights with which ever map in lands on.

If I'm honest, it's nice to spice things up with the old maps, or the one's that don't get played as much.
It not only tests the teams capability to work together as well as the individual skill.

I'll keep in mind in what you are saying though, when it comes to the next map listing.

Hope you enjoy your stay on our server!

See you soon

Thx for nice server.Today playing mutrah city map. Have 2 apc sq , and one of them using btr90 and we took mtlb canon. Then others say "Give that apc" , we said no cant then admin kick us. Reason asset rule.
