Things NOT to do while playing PR

[daveee]

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.

[CaptAndy]

When driving an APC...Do Not;

1: Keep reversing over your team mates.

2: Drive into battle with a full load & get everyone destroyed.

3: Park it a million miles from anywhere.

4: Drive around oblivious to the vehicles importance.

Am sure there is more :)

[ThePhotoshop]

When playing PR, do not:

- Alt+Tab and talk to people on MSN

- Check your MySpace

- Spend ten minutes on the phone whilst Squad Leader.

All true stories.

[firehawk88]

1. Do not do loop-the-loops with a fully loaded little bird above Muttrah City.

[icehollowpoint]

not to do with PR :

do not mess with Visone . he is the righteous hammer of justice.

do not take me on in a head on knife fight , you will die.

if you are new , stop requesting all the marksman/support/sniper kits , you suck with them , and you will die , thus yielding the kit to the enemy.

if Aus tells you to take a walk over a berm , stealthily drop a nade near him beforehand.

once again , if you are new , stop requesting the marksman kit. you don't look cool with it , and most of you new players can't hit crap past 100 meters.

dont spawn on me and then proceed to move infront of my sights while im trying to get a bead on someone , i will frigging stab you.

if someone is moving low on the jungle floor , slowly and silenty , even though there is enemies ahead , there's usually a pretty good bloody reason for it. stop popping up and shooting enemies just because you want some pointless kills on the scoreboard , especially when the reason we're hiding is because they have A) armored vehicle or B) they heavily outnumber us.

- Swear
- Badger people
- Pick fights with Admins...(You will always loose)
- Show no respect to other players, That's only unless they are tardlike, But I am the judge of that.
- Map Vote continuously, I like to kick people for it, I have acquired the taste for Map Kicking
- Cheat, I ban people, and place VooDoo Curses in 3 Haitian dialects.
- Humvee taxi yo arse to nowhere. I don't like you already if you know you do it.
- fly a chopper when you just gosh darn can't do it with a full squad onboard
- Not let said chopper fully spool up before trying to take off, it will just violently pitch to the dirt.
- APC taxi to nowhere and expect me to like you.
- Get a requested kit and then get killed and tell nobody about it...It's a kit your team needs, and now they have NFI where it it?
- Get a connection error
- Enter a game with 20seconds to go
- Play on Ice's team...Nah just kiddin' :P

[ThePhotoshop]

solution DON'T play on laptops
:cry:

[VisOne]

Mate you can say what ever you want just don't type it out loud :wink:

[Anonymous]

DON'T get in gunners position of small un-armoured vehicle whilst I'm driving and then proceed to randomly shoot at nothing, or worse try to kill a AFV with the M60 whilst I'm trying to do a silent flanking run.

So help me I will hunt you down and give you a 40mm M203 skull tap.

[Wokeye]

Don't try to throw grenades through tree foliage - they will most likely bounce back and land at your feet. Or your squaddy's.

Never run towards Bahlye when his missus is playing.

[some_random_panda]

Don't fly like I do - I found out quickly that flying is not my strength and so don't fly anymore.

How DO you land a heli? Just hold down s?

[Kindros]

Here's an ok guide. Goes through the basics of how to start and finish. The main thing is though to just keep practicing. I personally hop on the Mullet when I'm at home through a local server and just prac flying and landing. Hop in a squad and put a move marker down and just practice landing on that position.

Yeap remember to play on a local server and drop down the console using the ~ key and type in the below message REMEMBER THE . its important ;)

DON'T MOVE THE INSURGENT SPAWN CAR!!!!!!!!!!!! Espically after being asked not to do it or ordered not to do it the insurgent squad leader may loose it an execute you!!!

[ThePhotoshop]

Guys, if you don't move the spawn cars away from where they spawn, I'm just going to come up and SLAM them as I'll know exactly where they are.

[VisOne]

AH not in that regard of course Photoshop just don't move them anywhere near flags :lol:

[Kindros]

Guys, if you don't move the spawn cars away from where they spawn, I'm just going to come up and SLAM them as I'll know exactly where they are.

I would blow up my own car just to spite you :twisted:

[JLycett]

Tahts what I ment Vis Don't move them to the flag

[Sandy_Beret]

Don't bloody pinch my HMMWV/VODNIK/WHATEVER when I am using heavy AT kit as I rearm off the vehicle... it so p!sses me off when people steal my vehicle, drive it into the middle of a sh!tfight and die... leaving me with a pistol to defend myself...

[Jdz]

Well to be honest, we can't really know what you want and it doesn't exactly have your name on it.

:(

[Sandy_Beret]

It's pretty obvious if I am walking around with a heavy AT kit and
hovering around a vehicle parked to the edge of the battlefield

[VisOne]

No I was there leading Fusions squad on the occasion he is talking about no it was there for a reason the other person who was with him shouldn't have been there at all no it was his vehicle unquestionably.

Heres a BIG one you have all seen them vehicles, Humvees, GAZ jeeps basically vehicles with a BIG ammo and repair icon on them you need a engineer or drivers kit to drive DON'T MOVE THEM there repair vehicles and super important. There no ones personal transport they don't belong near flags, in the front line or at any time blocking the retreat of the APC's or tanks.

[Lucid Nightmare]

More importantly, if you get the resupply vehicles destroyed. Armour won't be able to re-arm unless there is a UAV on the map. Most of the time there isn't....

[icehollowpoint]

Well to be honest, we can't really know what you want and it doesn't exactly have your name on it.

:(

Well to be honest , the vehicles are team assests , you shouldn't be drving them into a pointless firefight only to get killed and the vehicle rendered useless.

[K|2um]

When one of your team vehicles are destoryed doesn't your team lose tickets ? I remember reading something about that. Correct me if i'm wrong!

[daveee]

Pretty sure, just like you lose 10 tickets for losing a flag.

[80 Russians]

On insurgent maps, your greatest threat as one of them is being given terminal suntan by your own RPG gunners running in front of you to fire off their party favours.

[Jim]

Thread cleaned up a lil and stickied for the newbies.

This is a good reference point for new players.
Please continue to add pointers where appropriate, and please, please keep it on topic.

[K|2um]

I know everything below has been said before, but i keep on seeing it happen every map i play on... and not by new players but by regulars!!

When near armor OR thinking of using armor.

RESUPPLY VEHICLES
Do not use this vehicle as means of transport to get closer to battle, TANKS depend on this vehicle to be in a safe location for resupply and repairing when there is no UAV on the map.

TANKS
If a player is already standing next to a tank and looks to be requesting a Crewman kit, do not try to beat him to it... the tank is his, first in best dressed as the old saying goes. If you would like to join that player in the tank, then ask him as in most cases the player will won't to solo in the tank as its very rare to have a gunner that listens to the driver.

Do not stand next too or behind tanks in citys as in most cases that tank is going to reverse on your face if he takes AT fire. Also the tank operator could think u are an enemy laying mines or slams.. in which case he is gonna step on the peddle.

Do not jump on top of the tank like a mad man during combat as u could distract the tank operator for a important shot, as what happened to me when i saw lucid in a tank, some random was jumping all over my tank very painfull when u trying to get a oneshot on a enemy tank. :(

Do not throw smoke grenades at a friendly tank thinking he needs cover... Tanks have there own smoke and will use it when they need it.

Do not abuse the tank operator if he refuses to help a squad in city combat, it is up to the tank operator to asses the risks for his tank... you don't have to wait for the tank to respawn.

APC
Majority of the Do nots for tanks cover APC as well so I won't repeat myself.

Do not abuse the APC operator if he refuses to drop you off in a certain location, the driver has to consider the risks to the mobile spawn location as this is more vital to keep in a round on some maps then getting you closer to combat.

Do not abuse the APC operator if he suddenly speeds off out of a battle, there a number of reasons for this, 1. to keep alive the mobile spawn point, 2. It only takes 2 ROUNDS of LIGHT AT to destroy an APC, 3. If he takes 1 AT fire he should leave as fast as possible and repair not stay and protect the ground troops.

Edit: APC's are not Tanks, if you see a enemy tank drive away and use the terrain as cover, I've only destroyed a tank with the APC twice but thats because the Tank didn't know where I was on both occasions.

Above are just some of my main frustrations when it comes to Armor

[VisOne]

You missed one Krum old friend .... probably the biggest one when using APC's always remember its NOT A TANK so never attempt stand off attacks against tanks with them in fact you see a tank while your in a APC run for cover.

On a side not fellow moderators we need to look at cleaning this thread up and compiling the suggestions into a list, I'll do it soon if no one else feels the need however guys feel free to keep adding to the list.

[CombatKiwi]

I had a skim over all the suggestions and don't remember seeing this, might be wrong.

Don't fire your gun randomly. When you are moving to a Flag it is VERY important to hold your fire until you are guaranteed a kill shot. Random firing will alert your enemy to your presence and possibly cost the lives of your whole squad. Suprise is the key.

Don't waste your defib, be sure you will hit your patient. You only get six charges, save them, you'll need 'em.

When revived don't just lay there waiting to be healed up. Move to position of cover. Who ever shot you the first time might be waiting to get the both of us, and I am more important than you are.

Don't ask for Morphine from my medkit. I ain't got none, I used it all and it is the only thing that makes this war bareable!

[AncientMan]

Also to do with medics, I notice that a lot of people, once they revive someone, they don't recharge the shock paddles. Then, you see them charging out in the open, pulling out the shock paddles, going ****, gotta wait for the recharge, then 2 seconds later they are dead. Most of the times they would've saved both themselves and the patient if they recharged before. This can be easily done when running back to cover after the revive.

[VisOne]

New thread has been opened to accommodate all the Do's and Dont's we have found here >> http://bigdgaming.net/viewtopic.php?p=5503 #5503

Feel free to continue the discussion there just be aware there will be purges and your comments added to the original list of the do's and dont's.
