Your opinion on the new 0.9 rally point change? - Page 13

Know why I like it?

Because it makes killing enemies rewarding (they won't show up anytime soon...)
However if you manage to get 2 of your guys out alive, suprise, you have backup

Most of the time, though, I use rally for new squad members to join the squad...

But the only time I used this Rally Point system to its fullest was in Silent Eagle... we had some good Chinook pilots...

Note I only played a couple of rounds as SL, though...

The Battlefield series of engines does this by making clients connected with high latencies disadvantaged in that the server trusts its view of the world at all times. A client says 'i just shot in this direction' and the server checks if the shots hit something, and applies damage if so. Unfortunately if the client is out of date (because of a slow link) then the player from the server's point of view will be shooting where the target was not where he is.

Battlefield 2 half-arsedly introduced a constant offset into this system, set at 100ms for everyone, by which the server offsets all your commands backwards in time. This works great if your ping is 100ms, and generally makes things 100ms less annoying if not. This is the value the toolbox alters when you launch the game; using your actual ping to the server instead of the constant 100ms.

When I said that, I should have clarified a little. It's not like PR is dying in the sense of wilting, no one playing in 6 months. I mean that it is changing to a direction that is not fun, and a lot of people will stop playing this mod. Maybe you want this? It will be bad in the long run, trust me. But with PR moving to ARMA 2, does it even matter?

I have said this before, but I am a horrible PR addict and will not quit even if you crazy DEVs replace my m16 with a inverted banana launcher

PR is not for everyone, its not fun for you... thats your opinion but it still is to ALOT of people. And do i like the fact we are losing people? i dont care, it happens every release. Also PR is NOT moving to ArmA. PR:BF2 is still being developed.

I actually picked the 'whatever' option although I really like the change

It's good to see some fresh new tactics springing from it.

Keep up the good work devs.

I'm struggling to understand your quotation work here gazz, but it seems that you are recognizing the loss of players. It is 12 am, midnight local time, and PR is deadsville. Everyone's choice is either muttrah 24/7 with 8 people or auto deploy for an hour to insurgency. How is this not a problem?

Medics are now harder and harder to get... Why? Is it possible to reduce to a team of 2 members? Sometime all SQ's are full and I can only play with my brother / friend...

0.9 was so demanding,thats why there are a little loss on players.
even if you have good computer,you are struggling with fps problems.
so i guess that theres is lot of players waiting patch.

	Guys, when a new player comes, just answer his question and go on your merry way, instead of going berserk! It's THAT simple!
