Ideas for 0.8 promotion

then youd get 3thousend and 27 newly signed up members asking where the darn ac130 is at.
atleast thatd avert from fastrope suggestions for a while

We could do a fake fast-rope scene :P

Humoristic video are nice but Battlefield Bad Company is Arcade and so are lot of FPS out there... PR is realistic. Do we really want more vBF2 clown on PR battlefields ?

Although, I agree on focusing on new features.

We should so do some sort of heavy metal, rock and roll number where a TON[64 players on US Army team] of army guys jump out of the static cargo plane way up in the air, even roll some humvees and strykers and APCs out for good measure, I dont care if its realistic or not, overlay some mad jet engine sounds and just make it the most badass thing ever.

Get some sweet shots of the humvees and armor tumbling in free fall, show some guys open their chutes and float on down into the darkness then..

fade to black...

Then simply say

They're here.

new people are new people. If they ask for the plane we simply say "its in there"

LOL okita, yeah we should do something irrelevent to the whole mod, would be funny.

Why dont we make a short clip of how it is to win a round, and how it is to lose.

All the winners start jumping up and down, unloading clips in the sky.

The losers just mumble stuff, then start saying we had no commander or smt.

love the BH 101 vid!!

You know what would be funny... the devs post a link to the trailer video, and we all end up being rick rolled (I just got rick rolled for the first time... I don't want to talk about it )

IMO since PR is trying to get as far away from the way people play BF2 have a video showing that. Show BF2 with all its players being smaktards, TK-ing, not listen to a thing the Comander or SL says and flying their Helis into walls or just doing the normal BF2 type things (being knob scoffs) then cut to PR and do some shots of a sniper team doing some impossibly good shot, then to a really good Black Hawk insertion into a 'Hot' area and other things like that, as well as anything that makes you think 'Teamwork' when you see it with every one communicating really well during the video.

Would make a good Promo video, plus it would attract people who want teamwork and communication in a game. Instead of bring some BF2 smacktards over who are in it for the better graphics/weapons.


EDIT - Just thought of a way to make fun of BF2 a little while promoting PR. Show a New player who just started after playing BF2, show him getting killed a lot either in any funny situation, have him complain/bitching about the fact the tactics he uses in BF2 aren't working. Make him sound like a complete idiot, then show the guy IRL getting up and walking out complaining about not being able to lone wolf or just the way we have teamwork or something like that (include a heap of puns about it) then zoom into the computer screen and show the PR screen

I like how bad company and team fortress 2 introduced their classes as characters and realy gave you a sense of the differant play styles they were also funny as hell and people actualy went out to watch
because anyone can look like a bad@SS on by showing replays but humor will actually lure new players

pm me if you guys want to do this I've already got some good ideas on how to get it done
