Pub Games vs Clan Matches/Tourney's

[SGT.JOKER]

Ive had good pub games and bad pub games, Im curiouse to see how they hold up to clan vs clan and tournament style matches. I'd join a clan and find out for my self but money is very tight for me right now

You don't have to pay to join a clan...

Organized clan play with proper teamwork beats any pub game.

PRT is the best (and only, hence forth the best) Tournament in PR. No matter what team your on, or if you win or lose the game is always enjoyable. There is nothing better than making a battle plan and then seeing your team achieve it goals through that plan.

If your ever in town at the PRT, just send me a PM and I'll fill you in, as I'm kind of, just a little bit important.

I'd say that the most fun way to play PR is within a regular community of players rather than within a clan. Find a server with players that play the game the way you like to play it, and just become a regular there.

The clan/community that own it may invite you to join, and may or may not require payment to help cover server costs - but even if you don't take them up on that offer, you're still able to play the server regularly and enjoy the benefit of playing with a group of people that know how you play and know that you can be trusted with kits, assets and Squad Leading/Commanding.

You don't have to worry about regular training or attending on any particular night (as you do in some clans and in the PR Tournament), you don't have to worry about the money (as you do in some clans) and you can still build yourself a reputation as a team-player and reliable chap all-round.

[T&T] - Tactics & Teamwork work on this basis, and it works pretty well for us. We have a core of 10-15 members who pay for and administrate the server, we have a strict no-idiots policy when playing - anyone causing trouble is warned once and then kicked, and our regulars know that by coming onto the server they're getting a server that's going to be 5at least 60% full of other regulars most nights. Our members don't feel they have to attend on any given night, we don't train or impose any kind of strict order, so we have a happy membership where people can be as active or as inactive as RL demands.

PRT was alright, then it went to hell and all the good guys left. Then I left and haven't gone back since.

But overall, organized players > random players. During the past year I don't think I have EVER joined a random squad. I always play with my friends, that way I know that every single round is going to be good.

Masaq is right. I enjoy allmost all of my pub games because I almost only play on 2 servers: TG and T&T. Your playing with a group of players with the same mindset. Would like to see how the PR Tournament plays and how it plays with a clan but knowing myself: I probably wouldnt make the time once school/internships starts.

You have no idea.

Correct, worse when you have to leave to make a point to your commanders to smarten up. PRT is ok, best bet is to try a clan.

I never play clan games, only public.
The biggest thing I usually find is that if a game has already started when you join, you can usually only get into the more crappy squads where nobody really wants to lead and are only doing so to not get kicked from the game.
If you bear with it until the start of a new round you can usually get in a voip team with a squad leader who wants to lead, and not just because he had no option but to form a squad because there were no spaces left in a decent squad.
This always improves the game by hundreds of percent! And in a lot of cases I would imagine is just as good as any clan game.

I joined the PRT late in C6 and loved it, 4th Rifles FTW!

I'd happily come back in C7, but I'm unsure of my internet access at university this coming academic year.

and btw, Mars was a awesome commander and great bloke who did a brilliant job as commander as far as I'm concerned (I was in NATO2).

The difference between organised and normal clan play is quite large, mostly in the organisation side. Clan play is generally smaller, you sort out a few tactics and play by ear when the plan doesn't cut it. Tourney is always 64 player with a great deal of organisation as to who is doing what, sorting out communications (which rocked btw, thanks to mars again afaik)

Being in the PRT was kinda like being in a clan between the bi weekly matches since everyone there had the correct ethos of teamwork you could always grab a NATO squad and do some pubbing (hopefully with a few CATAs on teh other side for fun ) CATA was fun to pub with as well ofc

I think the PRT is what you make of it tbh, some ppl moaned all the time about this, that and the other but as far as I was concerned, if It didn't concern the gameplay and how to win...I ignored it. But the tourneys are a big commitment since you have to attend trainings every week, and if you don't contribute effort you won't enjoy the tourney, or be respected.

Clans are just plain fun without as much effort, the kind of thing you can do anytime you want to, or just people to be friends with over the internetz without all the facebook crap

ok...written a small essay here....gonna stop....
