Thought I'd give vanilla a run 2day, just too see if I had turned into this elite player after playing PR for quite a while. Well, I wasn't that's for sure..... I could not stand to play anymore than 10 mins, cracked the shits and left. These were my impressions: The NOISE!!!! I play PR with my headphones turned up, but man this is impossible with vanilla. The constant spamming, jets, arty, just ruin the sound experience. Everyone I shot lived. Everyone. I forgot that in bf2 its whoever has the g36 wins. Choppers were so EASY to fly. And so easy to spot the bad guys. This I admit is the strong point of vanilla - definetly not groundpounding. People just c…

i really need to blow off some PR related steam . today i have gotten increasingly pissed off with the "0.5 wave". Over the past few days i have gotten back my PR mojo (yes i lost my PR mojo and regained it on sunday) but over those few days some things have really started to get on my nerves. First of all , people who download the mod , dont bother asking for help and dont want to receive it , they piss me off something fierce , i'd laugh when they get into a chopper and cant do anything but spin around because they havent got a pilot kit , except it isn't funny , it's just annoying. Secondly , those annoying idiots who shoot at nothing , try to walk into you , …

**NOTE** This is a guide to tanking, it does not apply to APC's which are altogether different and require much more finesse to use. So here we have it, the complete guide to tanking (well, at least as complete as I can be bothered making it). This guide is intended for those of all skill levels. For those that are competent in the art of tanking, to those that don't know their coaxial from their cannon. There are a few things you need to know before you go tanking. 1.Patience 2.You need a crewman kit 3.You need to climb atop the turret to enter. 4.The driver of the tank 'owns' it. You will need to be in the same squad as the driver. 5.Unless you have VOIP/TS …

What's your beer of choice? Crownies or Boags for me.

aka the im bored as all hell at work thread. Currently watching Heroes Lost Prison Break The Sopranos (new season just started, so good) Also was watching Friday Night Lights but that finished a month or so back.

As some of you may have noticed, there is a problem with the server population. Yes, it's been flooded by new players. Now, the problem isn't so much the new players themselves. It's the lack of direction and knowledge that these players have. The lack of a veteran squad leader. I have seen many green players acting as squadleader due to the lack of those that are more familiar with the game putting their hands up. This is bad. Bad! I implore you all, if you see a green squadleader, do not join their squad. Instead, make your own. Even if you are horrible at squad leading, I can assure you that you will be better than the new players. At least you know how to put do…

There seems to be three distinct types of squad leader. I was curious as to which people like what type. What we basically have is: Mock Military Such as Aus sniper and photoshop. They will emulate military procedure to varying degrees. Laid Back Such as VisOne and I. A more relaxed 'go with the flow' type of squad leading. Tends not to emulate military procedure but uses what works in game. Silence is golden Squadleaders that provide nothing more than a rallypoint and mobile spawn. No real direction or leadership. **************** If possible, post your reasons explaining your choice.

Hi Guys, Tried playing tonight but the VOIP audio was really choppy. Others can hear me, but I can only hear half of what they are saying. All other audio was OK. I re-booted machine and restarted PR which seemed to settle things down a little. Pings remained consistent at around 50. Then after 15 minutes I got PB booted with a message that I was "losing key packets". Any ideas? My PC has been behaving strangely lately with unexplained delays and interruptions to normal browsing so something seems to be up but I have run 3 separate virus scanners and there is nothing reported.

It's cause I can sneak in to the heavily guarded DEV headquarters and steal top secret information like this! If you have ten minutes to spare, check it out. Some stuff on the new Al Basrah, the new armour map and a few other delicious tidbits. Anything after the eighth page is old, so once you get that far, you can stop. Just click 'view album as slideshow' and let it roll. Happy drooling. (if you see any strange red/yellow lines, don't worry, they're just map editor stuffs)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v134/DarkFusion/pipboy20007cu.jpg Hi, after an incredibly amusing round on Helmand Province last night, I thought I'd start a small discussion on the use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Jerrif and I had great fun rigging flags, moving off and waiting for the Brits to move in. *BOOM* it would go and chaos would follow. So, inspired by this I set off to attempt some more IED madness. I joined a 24/7 US Basrah server and quickly got my Insurgent engineer kit. After a few unsuccessful attempts at roadside bombings and traps, I looked to the sky... I clambered onto a rooftop and watched the pattern of US air drops. The BH…

What is the AMD equivalent of intels C2D range. ive been searching and searching but i cant find out //**EDIT**// I found it never mind. I think im going to be going amd becuase it seems to be alot cheaper then the intel range.. The AMD AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core - 4600+ Socket AM2 is equivalent of E6600 interms of overall performance in it only costs $170 the E6600 costs $319, which is why when i first looked at the prices i thought th athlon 64 X2 Dual core must be an outdated processor. so my final list for my computer is.....(hopefully will not change) M2N-SLI Deluxe $197 7900GS - 256MB - PCIE - Asus Graphics Card - DDR3 $230 AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Cor…

Can't say I am particularly flash at the CQB maps, or just in tight areas in general. I usually walk around a congested area and don't know if it's an enemy crouched behind the box and by then I am shot. I'd hate to TK a teamie that's like a few metres away. Tips? :?

Simply put if you intend on organising a community match or any match for that matter we ask that you take a number of things into account. Firstly you will need to fill out the below parameters, its fine if you discuss this and fill them out over time. Map: Time: Date: Rules: Server: Server Setting: Kit Limitations: Password: However before you set your Time and Date in stone you will first need to run it past the admins who currently have server side BF2CC control. You will need one of them to set the server up for you and take it down when your done. Quite easy really decide on the time and dates you want to book the server, throw up a new thread in the…

Get this instead of that GT you were talking about - so much nicer and quite a bit of fun, I'd imagine. http://www.fitbikeco.com/product/FlowStreet_Complete.jpg Although that being said, I prefer my MTB, it handles like a big bmx anyway! (Perhaps we can turn this thread into a riding thread? )

... our handy Tardlist get replaced by the politically correct "Players To Watch Out For" thread, which we can't post in anyway because it's locked? Seriously, if you acted like a tard you deserved a place on that list. It's not like it was hard to get off either... Generally all you had to do was apologise and have someone attest to your recent good conduct. Problem solved. Now we have this locked thread with ads_pie on the list, and I can't even post to say he's always been an exemplary squad member whenever I've played with him. Which he has. So let's discuss his removal. Also, since we're apparently on a mission to make the title as vague as possible, lets not …

I know some of you wont be interested on what I'm about to say but what if we held something like a special battle for ANZAC day this month on the 25th...what ya think? :wink:

Hey Guys As you know Gaming SA are hosting our server and have bent over backwards to provide things to make us feel at home. The GamingSA forums are undergoing a resurrection of sorts and it would be good for us to show our appreciation. So make the effort to go to their forums and have a look around. GamingSA Join and post as you do here, encourage the members to come look at our mod. We will not only be helping our hosts to promote what they offer but will also help the PR forums as well. The more people coming to the forums, the more people will see our server and our posts. You would be amazed at the number and different types of servers they have …

Ok..I feel stupid and retarded for asking this, but it must be done. was going to add the [bD]c tag to my name last night, so I started a new account and entered in "[bD]c workingrobbie" and got the reply back that I'd entered invalid characters. I'm guessing it's the space. What did I do wrong? How do I fix it?

Obviously not for everyone especially the many currently serving or former military men who play PR however for those who have had no actual hands on experience with assault rifles which I believe would be most people in Australia myself included. This is basically a series of videos hosted on youtube about the basics of assault rifles it goes through many of the more prolific weapons as well as those your would expect to see in movies and things of that like. Very interesting to say the least and should give people a little more respect as to just how hard it is to actually control some of these weapons in real life, hopefully it might even teach some people a little mor…

Land a chopper ANYWHERE other than a helipad, hop out and get the other person in to pilot it. Any ground that is not completely flat will flip the chopper. This is bad. It makes me angry. Feel free to add to the list.

Hi guys, Over the last few weeks we've seen our beloved Bigdy server grow in size to the point that most nights the server is full. A lot of us have been playing PR for quite some time while we also see a lot of new players joining. Let's get one thing straight first - New players are good for the server. However, PR has quite a steep learning curve. I must've died at least 10 times before I got my first kill back in .32 or what ever it was. But, you learn, adapt and become a better player. Never has this learning curve been so apparent than in 0.5. As such, we've seen quite a bit of an increase in Vanillaesque behavior. So, new players, please understand a fe…
