M16A4, Brit M4, L85A2 UGL questions

[Prydain]

Why is it that after every release the community gets worse? It is bullshit and totaly unfair.

1) Just curious, but why is it taking so long to put in the M16A4? Making a completely new model? Why do that when you can just take the original M16A2, remove the carry handle, and replace the foregrip with RIS?

Modeling takes a fair bit of time mate. I am sure that you can make textures transparent to change cirtain parts of the model without remodeling but I doubt it alwase has the desired effect.

2) The British M4 model really pisses me off. It's awful. The Aimpoint isn't even a circle, it's an octagon, and there's a tacky red dot on the back of the lense. Will this be changed?

It is not an M4 by the way, it is the L119A1 (C8SFW). I am not sure this effects gameplay, unless you are saying the scope is inaccurate or its shape means that fireing is hard, personaly I just use the L85A2.

3) As pointed out months ago, the L85A2 UGL must have a SUSAT, and can't use iron sights--yet it still has iron sights. Will this be changed?

I am sure this will be changed as soon as possable, the DEV team have British Army advisors and will have been noted that the L85A2 is incapable of fitting both the L17A1 and Ironsights at the same time.

4) British Sniper rifle needs some work. When the bolt is opened, it rotates outside of the rifle.

Again, does this effect gameplay? Try using another weapon if that problem deludes you to becoming anoyed.

Miscellaneous gripe: why the hell are there shotguns? Shotguns are only used for door breaching, and since there's no door breaching in PR, it's pointless. Plus I'd just like to see them gone, since those damn bots lay waste to entire squads (wiped out me, and 3 teammates in less than 5 seconds) with them.

I agree that shotguns are not really usefull in game but again, you could pick another class. AI using the rifle is not something I can say I have come across, I thought PR has no single player?

PR has a singleplayer, but it's a seperate download, to reduce the size of the main one.

Of course, there are still some problems in the mod, which is why we are at version .61 at the moment. We have some really hard-working DEVs, but they're people to, who do this on a voluntary basis.

As far as I can tell, the new M16 will indeed be a completely new model, since we are not able to edit the default BF2 ones.

The British side is still a WIP, with improvements being made all the time.
If you feel like something is taking too long, feel free to take the time to learn how to work with the BF2 editor and apply to join the R-DEV team, I am sure that they could use more people.

EA has their own server rules but generally they will allow what PR does not allow on unranked servers. It is also their game and engine meaning they have full rights to it. PR however is the only mod that has such this ridiculous "server contract."

EA do not own the intellectual rights to any PR asset. Both the team and the original creator(s) do. The server agreement does not contravene the EA EULA, nor any international law. Indeed it was written by a lawyer, so people can argue all they want. We are well within our rights to protect (1) what is ours; and (2) how we stipulate the modification to be played.

You felt so strongly about this that you couldn't be bothered yourself?

I'm sorry? What? Did he just answer his own question? My goodness Smithy, I think he did!

Funny that, was looking at your account and thinking the exact same thing....just one more 'clever' post and you are gone for good...

See if you can gather what I think of you with the aid of this friendly visual imagery...



LET'S GET BACK ON TOPIC.

that was interesting.

it'd be different if we bought the game, but as i see it, we're just... puppies... coming to eat the food of our developer mothers, that they let us have. what should we be complaining about. that food tastes like steak.. hmmm with a1 steak sauce.


keep it up.

Just a quick question since were talking about .7

How come you guys are switching the AK-101+GP30 for an ugly G3 with a UGL?

I really like the AK


Anyway, PR is really fun.
