So whats this mod about that you are all so worked up about ?

I figure a little general info on the game would be a good thing for those like myself who may well give it a go but who are wanting some info on what its all about.

Also give us some details on the server setup please so we can connect (could someone update the FAQ if they get chance ?).

*looks forwards to reading about it and deciding if he will have a go*

Regards

Best bet would be Ronin or Piacular really. But from what I played its an attempt to bring a bit more realism into BF2.

List of "Features" as I see them.

If you see someone across a valley you don't get their name pop up so it could be frendly or foe so you take a chance on the shot.
If you get shot in the head once that's it you are dead no revive.
Shots in the arm will start a bleed effect that medics or field dressings can stop.
There is no crosshairs so for accurate firing you need to use the sights.
Only people who get the pilot kit can fly planes, and only crew can drive tanks.
If you get an officer kit and are in charge of a squad you can drop a ralley point (bunch of sandbags) to spawn from even when your squad leader is dead.
Respawn times are longer (20-30 secs) and get longer each time you die. Making you value your life more.
You don't automatically have a parachute so can't jump off buildings and survive :D.

Basically a lot of differences that promote teamplay and better squad work. Which can only be good.

Its essentially the worlds most frustrating game. Its weird i both love it and hate it. on one hand i always finish playing satisfied but during it can be on occasions a little slow or a little frustrating. Its a load of fun if you have a good squad leader, i don't think its really worth talking about as the only way to truelly appreciate it is to play as its a vast learn slope of doom. DON'T play without a few of us who have played a fair bit as you'll find yourself spending your time dead.
I do this anyway but as i have issues with kit recognition that no one else seems to have i have taken it upon myself to be the THN medic and seem to be pretty good at it.

That's about it in a nutshell... new game modes aswell, (Extraction and Assault and Secure) meaning the games do progress much more like a "real" battle might.

Much more fun as you HAVE to work in a team to actually do anything.

Commander assets are still there but they cannot be used unless a squad leader requests them either...

I'm going to take the briefer route to answering just now and I'll explain more later.

The short answer is "there's a fair few threads on it in the Battlefield" forum.

I suggest:

  • [thread=3434]Project Reality[/thread]
  • [thread=3564][PR] Map Rotation[/thread]

... to start, anyway.

Urk... back to work. :/

A brief summary of the class system:
At designated supply points (Main base flag, rear of a friendly APC, Rally points and supply crates), you may request a special kit, all of which give you different weapons and abilities. However, in order to request a kit, you MUST be in a squad and, with most of the kits, that squad must have at least 4 members. The kits that you can request are:

Support kit

* Knife
* Support Weapon (400 rounds)
* Fragmentation Grenade x 2
* Field Dressing x 1
* Body Armor

Sniper Kit

* Knife
* Pistol (2+1 magazines)
* Bolt-Action Rifle (40 rounds)
* Smoke Grenade x 1
* Binoculars
* Field Dressing x 1
* No Body Armor

Designated Marksmen Kit:

* Knife
* Pistol (2+1 magazines)
* Precision Rifle (60 rounds)
* Fragmentation Grenade x 2
* Smoke Grenade x 1
* Binoculars
* Night vision goggles
* Field Dressing x 1
* Body Armor

Heavy Anti-Tank Kit

* Knife
* Pistol (4+1 magazines)
* Heavy AT Weapon with 2 rounds
* Binoculars
* Field Dressing x 1
* Body Armor

Anti-Air Rifleman Kit

* Knife
* Assault Rifle with open sights (6+1 magazines)
* Shoulder fired AA weapon with 3 rounds
* Smoke Grenade x 1
* Field Dressing x 1
* Body Armor

Officer kit

* Knife
* Pistol
* Assault Rifle (8+1 magazines)
* Fragmentation Grenade x 2
* Signal Grenade x 3
* SOFLAM
* Field Dressing x 3
* Body Armor

You can also request a pilot kit and a crewman kit.

All of these kits are limited, by which I mean that you may only have so many of each on your team. The number of kits that can be allocated to a team depend on how many players the team has. Also, you only have that kit whilst you are alive. Once you die, you lose the kit. You must then wait for a minimum of 3 minutes before requesting a new kit. In order to equip the kit, you must first request it, then wait until the quartemaster says to you 'I've allocated your kit'. It will then appear as a kitbag at your feet. Just press the use button and your soldier will swap kits.

I can't think of anything else to say, apart from the fact that this game really is the dog's equipment.

Holy crap alot has changed since I played in 0.2 and 0.3 :eek:

Although I can still say that if you love soldier simulation and all the frustrations and benifits of it then go for it but if you are into more arcade-style games then probably not your cup of tea.
