In terms of players, yes. In terms of gameplay and features, no. Sure, I have awesome memories from 0.5, but I absolutely don't want to go back to it. It would be like going back to the age of 10 when you're 20.

And people that are complaining about that should be smacked right in the face, the one time they show PR some support people complain...

hehe, well 99% of PR's players I would have said have played vBF2 before PR

Well, I think its great to have new players come and play, But I don't enjoy new players who come on game servers, not training without reading the manual and done some hours in training..

It works like that, a new version comes out, or otherwise attention is drawn to the mod. People join and give it a chance, some leave cus they dont like PR, some stay because they like the gameplay.

Hey guys I agree with [R-DEV]Rhino's post, but what I meant by vanilla newbs are people who teamkill you for a Huey on Muttrah.. I had this one guy who... never mind.

But all of the time I can never tell someone who is a vanilla newb unless they do something like dont press the fire key with the medbag.. even thats not too bad anyway.

And the "We Were Newbs" thread is pretty funny.

The influx of Nilla noobs is good for us even if we lost a couple good games.
Those who don't like the game, "WTF THIS MOD SUX. STUPID WARM UP TIME", head back to vBF2.
Those like Rhino said, have no mic, read the manual, and want to learn, pick up the skills that we have now and become a good part of the community.

The EA message was a while ago. Now the problem is PR "vets" being rude and unhelpful to the new guys.

Is it bad to say that I found Project Reality before I found BF2?

Like I said.. i'm that kinda guy who looks up random stuff on the internet...

and I wasn't told by a friend, told to play or anything...

I was just looking up mods for BF2 and PR was the first thing i EVER played on BF2... (seriously... I played the Demo for BF2... but for maybe... like... 30 minutes. There was more teamwork then when i tried it...)

> > So i was never a "Vanilla Newb". o.O XD I did play for an hour after i started playing PR and was like "This sucks..."

._. I actually feel like i have no life now...

> > There needs to be a compromise.

Newbs need to respect their veterans.

o.o veterans need to be more... helpfulish... > > We should have a "Sponser a newb" day XD haha.

Agreed. Back in the days I didn't know how to pick up the kit I just had requested (never looked down for the actual kit) and kept asking where it go since the QM allocated it to me + what's the lemon thing... etc.

Maybe nowadays people bitch about that if someone says something like above and assume he's just another "BF2 newb"

Advertising this fine mod is important, like said above, PR might never be in this position without it. It brings unwanted material yes, but the good people will continue playing and our community grows day by day.

And I bought this game only for PR so advertising worked for me (thanks for the guy who made the PR Diaries back in the days, they turned me on

)
