How to be a PR Squad Member. A guide.

[BoarK]

Why can't we have a guide like this right in the game? Break it into parts and have it displayed more prominently during map loading screens? By this I mean that the guide snippets should cover at least 40% of the loading screen and include illustrations. We don't need to look at the same background image of the map every time it loads. I find that the hints that are currently there to be very helpful so why not extend it to a more in depth guide? I am certain that we will benefit from a more informed community and thus better matches for all of us.

I actually agree. It doesn't have to be my guide (:P) but it would be interesting to have new things to read everytime you change maps rather than those endlessly repeating tips at the bottom of the screen. If you play PR for 5 days you've already memorized all the tips that show up

That's my plan! I'm just tired of having to explain each thing to each new person I meet you know? Especially because most maps (such as Jabal al Burj) is all about rushing to the flag, kill kill kill, rush, call CAS, kill kill kill... instead of tactics you know? In some maps, even the beta version still doesn't make the game more tactical. It helps, but for example in Jabal is all about rush rush make FOB rush kill rush...


I think that the maps that are the most tactical and the best tactics could be employed are in Russian maps, or maps like Qwai River and EJOD perhaps...

Second this for sure! Great idea, can take ages to load so a lot of info could be displayed, im sure it would really help.

Missing few words on communications/VOIP...

I'm gonna put this on, later, but I'll need some suporters

goguapsy,

I think the first step is to get one of the devs to verify if it is even possible and not hard-coded. If it is hard-coded then maybe think about putting the guide in one of the menu items. It's best to put under Deployment but makes more sense under Training where the placement is less optimal. Right now there are some useful links under Barracks but who would look there?

Dont think the place where the option would be makes much sense, anyways the whole guide in the menu sounds quite heavy...

A good read for any PR player.

It could use a filter for effectiveness though; for instance squad formations rarely are worth the effort.
