Sucks

Every time you die it takes longer to respawn
Makes you want to die less, doesn't it?

you cannot steal the enemy teams vehicles

you can only spawn on certain flags at a time

squad leaders are often to dumb to realize you need a officer kit to make rally points

ATs have 2 shots, tank take 4 hits to die
Get a rifleman to stick with you. You shouldn't have a problem taking down a tank if you're in a squad.[/b]

Everyone has the same or similar guns
Uhh... Take a look at ANY current army. They are all pretty much given  the same rifle. Exceptions are carbines and machineguns.

Don't Suck

Rally points when the SL know how they are

The field bandage pack thingie
Agreed. I love that thing

the special kits

you need to aim down the sights to see where to shoot

you can spawn on cars and APCs

The pistols are much more badass

Dirt Bikes

The new maps (most of them anyways)

The M249, it pwns

The heavy AT only takes 1-2 hits to kill a tank.  Besides, I don't agaree with any of your "sucks" reasons.  Most of your complaints are what I love about PR.

what sucks: nothing
what  owns : TOW missles

TOW FTW!!!!

what will rock

fucking fast as hell jets in .6

What sucks: I get chosen as a proper tester for 0.6 and onwards, but my AGP slot fucks up. Forcing me to use onboard and wrecking any chance of playing BF2 or PR until i get a new computer.

Wow, at least one post in this thread that's not to be considered fanboy-ism (okay, adding the "me2"-post from David makes 2).

I really, really don't understand why someone can say "nothing sucks about this mod" and still not turn all purple or something.

I played with zeidmaan and a few others earlier this week. Yes, there was some sort of communication, at least between our squadleader, zeid, me and, occasionally, a fourth guy. The other two weren't talking and basically doing their own thing, except for when they needed our SL as spawn point.

We were US on Al Basrah and basically got handed our asses to us really, really bad.
The four guys in our squad that sticked together had died more than 100 times (summed up) at the end of the round, that makes 50 minutes of staring at the respawn screen by default respawn time, not calculating in the personal penalty time.
All squadmembers went through situations as described there, even more than once: http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?pi … 6#p1416306
My lesson from that was: teamwork can't keep you from dying in this mod. Totally not.
That sucks.
The respawn time sucks.
The personal dying penalty time sucks, for reasons described above.

The balancing sucks.

This does not suck:

Yes, definitely.

A gimmick, barely more. If your squad's medics both died, you might not be able to get yourself enough time to wait for their re-arrival to get fully healed, you'll just be forced to spend more time watching your vision get blurry and listening to your alter-ego coughing and then losing consciousness. Wow.

doctastrangelove1964 wrote:

Yes. I'm not a vBF2 sniper, but did pretty good with a picked up sniper (or marksman?) kit in this mod earlier this week. The thought of a team full of those scares the shit out of me. The limited availability of some other kits doesn't seem that much reasonable to me.

Which is possible in 2142, too, yet less of a risk because even if your pilot or driver is a retard, you won't add another 30+x seconds waiting time after he rammed you into the next best building. I basically like the idea of mobile spawn points, but not fully the way they're implemented.

What I personally like a lot is the accuracy of weapons. Playing too much vBF2 makes one totally forget how accurate these weapons should basically be.

What sucks:
People stating the obivous.

Why would anyone need you to tell them that good squadleaders or working strategies are a nice thing to have?

Naah SL can use their own field dressings, its just that you need to be on flat ground when throwing them. If you are on a slope sometimes field dressing sink in to ground. That pisses me of so much.
