[AAR] I am new to PR and I absolutely love it!

THere is a mumble nigth going on at the 19th december on the realityteamwork server though its in EUrope, but aslong as you dont have like 300 in ping it does not matter if your ping is higher then usual upto 200 Its not the ping in PR who decides if you are good or not.

Ohh yeah ENG voip and and genrelly squads with voip or TW voip are in general more tard free.

How do I get on Password night on TG? Maybe you can PM the details about who I can contact to get signed up on that list. I've played a couple of times on TG, about three times now I think. And Honestly, TG has the best players EVER! On a couple of those occasions, I've had some very good and helpful SL's. One night, I think I had a PR dev as a SL who was a great SL, very awesome at giving direction and keeping us alive during firefights.

On the other servers, you still find yourself in squads where the SL doesn't know what he's doing and just created a squad 'cause the other ones are full, but that usually doesn't last very long. And occasionally, you can still end up in a squad that runs willy nilly, but again, I just usually switch to a different squad or something.

Sometimes very good but sometimes a bit frustating without Team work, but the good times out weigh the bad easily!

I had a very similar experience the first time I played PR too. I was on a carrier and I run up to the deck and there's a helicopter sitting there with a pilot and another player from a different squad. They're just sitting there, so I'm staring at the helicopter for like 20 secs and I'm like... Hm, I guess I'll just get on. I was the last guy, so they take off and I'm like okay... Next thing I know, they drop me off in town near my squad and I'm like "This is friggin' Awesome!"

This sounds great, the only servers I see that have players in Mumble are TG and BigD in Australia, and since Australia is too far away for me I just play on TG. But if there are players using Mumble on the RT servers, I'll give it a try. Normally, the squads I'm on don't end up using Mumble, so I stick to VOIP with them and that usually works pretty good. I just think it would be cool to coordinate some kind of tactics with another squad and have like 12 guys moving together or something, but usually it's just the squad and that works 99% of the time.

yeah TG + mumble is awesome, as for password just register on there forums.

Tactical Gamer

Nice to see another face in the crowd.

It is not the lack of Mumble users that mostly ruins a round. Mumble is just a way to bring communication to a more team-effective but more work intensive level. For me, game internal VOIP is mandatory for intra squad communication, and old school keyboard typing is used to speak with other squads.

It is generally the attitude and maturity of the players and the presence of an admin that brings some servers like TG and UKWF to the high quality of team play. Also, note that even the best servers might be filled with non teamplay oriented individuals at "low-season hours".

Have a look at the guide section. It will help You a lot to get a insight to many tactics and procedures.

See You around,

Gibbon-6

Have you tried playing Insurgency yet?
There are some good servers like "Hardcore Insuregncy" that have 24/7 insurgency maps with good admins and team-oriented players.

Insurgency is one of the many things that sets Projcet Reality on a higher level than Vanilla Battlefield 2, IMO.
If you're not sure how to play, just check the insurgency section of the manual, it's pretty straightforward.

And on that topic, I'm glad to hear you read most of the manual before you played a lot.
It's actually pretty ridiculous how many people don't...
I guess they think "Oh, well, I'm a 1337 pwnzor at BF2, so I don't need any stupid manual to tell me how to play this..."
Well, PR is very unforgiving if you don't know what you're doing.
But that's another story/rant.

Anyway, glad to hear you like it.
Feel free to say hello if you see me in a squad anytime soon, I'll rpobabl be playing insurgency.
Welcome to PR!

also i wouldn't suggest crewing assets (defintly not planes or helis) without having a good practice on a training server (try choose one thats empty/few people in) or over LAN, tho from what you said you did quite well in the tank as pretty much all assets have different controls/features from vbf2.

Also if you join a server or its the start of a round, try join squads called "eng voip" or "voip tw" etc.

You're briefing is hilarious it reminds me of the Yavin briefing in a New Hope.
