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?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 Unfortunately if the client is out of date (because of a slow link) then the player from the server's point of view will be shooting where the target was not where he is.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.
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'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?gazzthompson wrote:1234567

Then you have to reinstall everything when the performance patch is released... oops.ma21212 wrote:i unstalled, why? lag. i used to be able to play alot of maps like qwi, now qwi is unplayable.
I think you are wrong to assume this as people don't seem to mind so much the actual act of building the firebase or even the faffing about required at times to get a supply crate. It's simply that no matter how many you have it is no substitute for the squad RP. The thing that has impressed me most about was PR was the teamwork. To me that was 6 people working like clockwork to achieve a goal (and often linking with other squads to bulk up). Now that is simply gone. Apart from leaving main initially, where you momentarily get that buzz of the anticipation of a map about to be played with 6 people about to work with intense coordination, it is just 1s, 2s and 3s after that first encounter until the end. Look at your map if you don't believe me. 0.87 you could look at the map and generally see 2 or 3 'good' infantry squads moving as one. You see the SL and the rest trail closely like a comet. Now it is just a random scatterings. It is just so blah..gazzthompson wrote:why do people hate building firebases so much ? it takes like, 15 seconds?
