I still remember seein the article on a BF2 realism mod.. M.O.T.Y. 2008 no less, & the NEW v0.85 that had been released that day. The date was JAN 23, 2009. I DL'd, played, & was hooked. I was a member of Hardcore Gaming Clan by March of 09' & havent stopped playin PR since (for long). Hard to believe Jan 23 2016 (in 2 days) marks me & PR's 7 YEAR anniversary. She's a fickle beast, but I love her. So Thank You, VETERAN'S GAMING! You've been a HUGE part of at least the last 4+yrs. Great group of ppl & STILL THE BEST. Thx for havin me as part of your extended family, & a guest admin all these yrs. Going stand alone really helped rejuvinate the player base, at the expense of a tsunami of noobs. Krumper Koncrete(SK) explains whats its like bein a quest admin on VG these days. "Timbs strapped up to my neck. I buck wit THE VETS." https://www.youtube.com/embed/L_mIiKkUEC0

Hmm.. I still had v0.97 Single Player Map Pack installed.. along with some other. None show when i create a local host maplist.

Too Buku? Too Booku? Wow. I just now realized that phrase isnt even Vietnamese at all. It's actually French, spelled "too beaucoup", meaning lots, many, large &/or abundant.

I feel like im posting this in the wrong place, if so plz move it accordingly. Fix Hill 488, Melon! We've discussed this & i understand the mesh difficulties, but with their main uncapable its a 3 flag map. 2 of which we capture 1st & often the bot respawn time alone hands us the 3rd, & its game over. At least before we got to mass assault their DoD'd main til they ran out of tickets, or an admin rannext. Giving the NVA all flags at the start & makin both mains cappable would do, but if at all possible I want in that NVA tunnel complex, damnit!

1st things 1st... The return of Kokan is glorious. Thank you, Melon. Even tho im pretty heavily infantry/armor & CBQ oriented, having played PR as long as i have, variety is the spice of life. Real soldiers dont get to choose the weather, or where they fight. IMHO, most of the maps ppl hate is cuz they are doin it wrong. And no layer can stand up to a full server workin together. Yea, bots seein thru trees is BS, but Melon has actually eased up on that a bit (if u can believe that). The keys are knowing the maps & dictating the fields of fire (easier said than done, i know). However, maps like Iron Ridge, Korengal, Lashkar, & Charlies Point are some of my favs. Some maps I personally think we dont play enough would be.. Dragonfly, Beruit, Archer, Gaza, & all the Viet Nam maps. Speaking of Vietnam maps... Fix Hill 488, Melon! Seriously, with their main uncapable its a 3 flag map. 2 of which we capture 1st & often the bot respawn time alone hands us the 3rd & its game over. At least before we got to mass assault their uncappable main til they ran out of tickets, or an admin rannext. Makin both mains cappable would do, but I want in that NVA tunnel complex, damnit!

Lol, I must have missed this at the time. No, I am NOT Tutorial_Commander, but I've done my share of incoginto admining. I havent left =]H[=, but due to certain clan rules I've basically gone rogue as far as PR is concerned. So, for at least 4+ months now i've played PR strictly as Motown only. I dont see that changing anytime soon. In 5+ years of playin PR my alts include my original BF2 account *FNG*DRx (FNG was a Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon clan) & my original PR clan account: =]H[= De4dByD4wn. I also have 4 others: Foe*20, w0rdisb0nd, Perp1, & P!TTBo$$. *Note: The pics have nothin to do with this post, i just thought they were funny.

OMFG. I had never seen this =]H[= MAC$DRE vid before, like something strait off Al Jazeera... Fantastic use of real world audio. Direct YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4Qmic5qO2I My newfound vid making skills have been weighed, measured & found lacking. lol. (sorry for the edit: those youtubes gotta be =medium or they pork the thread width - semler)

Submitted for your approval, a tribute to the helicopter pilots of Hardcore by =]H[=MAC$DRE. A looong time in the making, most of the footage is from v.95, but chock full of awesomeness. Direct link:: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYLg_5Mm7_A Dre had been AWOL for a looong time, but hes back (seems hes gonna be a daddy). Added playlist of his PR vids to my channel. Just thought I'd share. :) (sorry for the edits: thread width requires =medium but you couldn't have known... -semler)

Totally. The stupidity of the civis is matched only by the inaccuracy of G-Club's punching, its hilarious to me. Its also why I chose "fight fire with fire" as a title/soundtrack for my version. :P

That sucks, lemme guess, Germany? The soundtrack is Metallica 'Fight Fire With Fire' (which was an audio editing 1st for me as well, using Audacity v1.3 to remove 2nd verse so transitions fit the action & vid length). It was originally blocked here too, til I added this disclaimer to my comment: "No copyright infringement intended. U.S. Copyright "Fair Use Act" noncommercial, non-competitive use of Metallica - Fight Fire With Fire (1984, Ride The Lightning)." Again, this was ALL a first for me, maybe I need to add something? Or word it differently? Dunno if its true, but I heard any vid that warrants a copyright disclamer is just blocked outright in some countries. Why so strict?!? I'm curious tho if there is a German "fair Use" equivalent? Maybe I could add it to description or sumthin? Anyways.. so ya dont feel left out, here is the original capture as uploaded by =]H[=G-Club. I just cropped it, added clan logo intro, title screen, killer music, credits, clan website outro, etc. The original is still an interesting clip tho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVz6p2EDauI Just Curious if you can watch this one? Credited music but no copyright disclaimer. By =]H[=Ralfidude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrAUOeJcVIE Me & =]H[=G-Club are experimenting with PR footage & real-world audio, this is just a rough "concept" mashup but you'll get the idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-XQi7bboe0

Hey thanks, I ripped the original video from G-Clubs channel so the quality blows but i didnt really know wtf I was doin when I started, and didnt expect it to turn out so well. I'm looking forward to making more. Any advice for capture progs. and/or editors (been using Fraps & Win Movie Maker, lookin to get Sony Vegas) would be much appreciated.

Hi VG, Wanted to post in your PR YouTube Flicks thread but I get this error: Fatal error: Call to a member function toHTML() on a non-object in /home/veterans/public_html/vg-handlers/shortcode_handler.php(173) : eval()'d code on line 15 If/when you fix that, just move this post there, plz. Anyways.. I'm a total YouTube noob and this is my 1st YouTube vid EVER. Just seein what I could come up with. Old school Metallica fans will prolly dig it, others may not, but imo it turned out rather entertaining. G-Club is usually a beast, dunno why he was havin so much trouble arresting that night, but he never gave up. Funny Stuff. In the end the intel alone was worth it. Enjoy. Overall sound level is a bit low so crank it up!
