We'll start with the I likes:
Abrams and Blackhawk's speed has been gauged up, because both can go fast, whereas BF2 has them lumbering along at incredibly slow speeds. Same with the Cobras.
I love the ideas of having to request kits, having to be in squads, and the variety of kits.
I love the Little Bird and A-10 being introduced into a vanilla Bf2 mod.
I love the British being in the mod with their sweet weapons, and vehicles.
I like the idea of having there being a number of different classes, with M16s (more realistic) and having different mini weapons and tools at their disposal.
I like the new sounds, they sound more vibrant, and I really get a feel for it.
I like how I have to be in a squad, and another dude has to be in the same squad, for the Cobra (or little bird) to work.
I like how you always gotta be on your toes, always gotta have your head covered etc.
I like the new factions

Don't likes:
I don't like the healing system at all, I feel its flawed. One would assume that you'd patch yourself up, and the bleeding would stop, without having to simulate it with a field dressing. And they're not that effective, as well as only being a one time thing (I'd suggest maybe 5)
I don't like having to be in a squad or else. Sometimes, server glitches, and you can't join/create squads. In Bf2, it was tolerable, now its game crippling.
I don't like some of the maps. I bet I could map better than some of them, they have some nice scenes, but I'm just going through the map, and thinking...I could have done so much better.
My personal favorite maps are Gulf of Oman (sad that I like this one, considering its EXACTLY from vanilla) and Muttrah City.
The rest are bleh, I just feel that the new maps will be cool, for 0.6, but I don't know.
I don't like the having to be in the exact same squad as someone else to fly. While I said I like it, I also don't like it, because some boob will get in, because he doesn't know how to play, and try and take off, gets off a few feet, and the aircraft pulverizes.
I don't like the spawn system. The Squad leader is dead most of the time, and you can only spawn on points your squad leader designates. If you spawn on some other squad's points, you're spawned at the very beginning station of the map. And if you don't want a crewman kit, you're going to have to foot it a very long distance. (courtesy of the maps being way too big and sucking usually).
I don't like the fact that only 2 marksman kits can be issued. I push it up to at least 5, at most 8. Snipers, maybe 4. I don't know much about crewman or pilots, but I'd extend it a bit as well.
I don't like how erratic driving gets you hurt, true its more realistic, but I don't like it. I guess I'm not very fond of that sort of reality.

So thats all I can think of for now, overall, the mod has a ton of potential, and I hope they keep it up.

Absolutely none, which leaves a pretty big statement of my opinion on the maps.

I hate to say it but it looks like this mod is not for you. Some of the best features in the mod are your cons.
Dont get me wrong but your 2 most favorite maps are in 0.5 by accident
The maker of mutrah thinks its shit with 0.5 rules and oman is vBF2 map. Those 2 maps are not in rotation on pros servers. The reason it takes 2 squad members to operate vehicles is that its impossible to function without coordination. 2 players in a cobra or a tank unable to communicate would be a waste of resources.
The reason you can only spawn on your own rally point is to make squads stick together and to increase the value of rally points. Rally point is worth more than the life of your entire squad. If you could spawn on any rally point than your own rally point would loose its value dramatically.
Marksman and Sniper kits are one shot kill on most classes, so having 10 of them in a team would turn the game in to ridiculous frag fest.

You need to give the mod some more time and you will come to love all those cons you mentioned.
If you are from EU than add me to x fire and we can team up.

well I played it for a little bit more. I have to say, it can get old, but its very interesting and very refreshing. I like some of it, it can be confusing and difficult, but its pretty fun, and its pretty good. I like some parts, and I dislike others. I'm pretty interested where pr0.6 will go, and then the PRs after it. I'm pretty pwning at it too, I get a K/D ratio of around 13/7 and sometimes even more each map. I like it, its a good turn, I just wish you'd (if you're from PR 0.5) add Hueys, and some good stuff like that. Overall though, I think its a mod well done.
And yeah, I figured marksman is pretty pwnin, its just its pretty frustrating to have someone nab your marksmen kit, and run off with the gun, because he spawned nearest to the designated area and got the kit first.
but its nice overall.
I don't know what you mean by EU though. I'm not from the European Union if thats what you mean.

EDIT: I just noticed they're adding the UH-1Y. w0000000t!!! + 5000 Mac points.

EDIT #2: I also noticed you're adding in new fixed wing aircraft. Why not have the F-35? Its replacing the F-18 and the F-15E I am told, so why not have that aircraft?

I actually like the restrictions of the Marksman and Sniper kits. If we have too many marksman, they would pretty much own a ton of infantry from far away. I hear they are adding scopes to the Rifleman classes so that will be interesting. Crewman and pilot kits are unlimited.

Yes, if you try to spawn on any other squad's rally point you spawn at the closest available area. About the Squad Leaders dying, if he/she knows what they are doing, they will usually lay down a rally point somewhere so you don't have to constantly spawn on him. APCs also act as a spawn point, dont forget that.

Though I do agree with the healing system. Those field dressings don't do too much but in reality, they are suppose to patch up a light wound anyways. If you get the blurry screen, you're pretty much screwed unless there is a medic near by or you find steal other kits.

Yeah, when would an average solder get shot in the chest, pull out a bandaid slap it on a be 100%?
The field dressing heals 20% IIRC, so 5 would be full health from dead....
Hell even two is almost half your health back.

Its just supposed to keep you sustained till you can a medic.

If you have blurred vision a single field dressing will bring you back to normal vision. You will still be bleeding but you will have about 30 seconds to find a medic, someone to give you theirs field dressings or to resupply your own.

@The_Mac, I meant if your from Europe, and if you play on European servers. And 0.6 is getting commander vehicles and the option for commander to build bunkers, firebases, AA guns etc. Also new maps, increased view distance, faster planes etc.
I don't know what hardware they are planing for what version though. I'm not in any way involved in making of PR, I just know some things Ive heard

I don't like that the British Army isn't exactly realistic.. For example, support, WRON WEAPON, M1A2 tank, WRONG TANK!

Yeah but to fair the LSW is a pile of crap. And aren't we trying to get some FN Minimis anyway?
Although I do agree with the tank thing. It annoyed me in vBF2, playing as the SAS. Why do the EU get the Challengers and yet the SAS get an M1A2? MAKES NO SENSE

Wait till v0.6-v0.7 at the latest. The British army is still being worked on and the Challenger 2 is scheduled to be out in v0.7. Don't worry

I play that mod sometimes. Did it get upgraded from the newest or something? There was only ~2 servers manned when I logged on.  That and it was only the Ukraine vs. Germany. No US on the action.
