I just got bored of the spam. Somehow I got wind of PR. Thought I would try it out because I dearly wanted the tactical side and the squad cohesion (my first Mod ever). Basically I wanted like minds. It gave all, including the riproaring firefights and so stayed.

However I loved the maps and the noobishness of BF2. I liked a laugh and always was into quality games; I'm a gamer since the 70's, electronic games grew up with me; literally. It a hard core part of my persona. They grew up at the same time and with me. I wore Addidas, Defender was out. At ~15 women were more introduced in beat'emups etc etc and so on. Guantlet had alot to do with that, I guess. As an aside tradition is to play women in such games, they are faster, or are meant to be the more skilled. Well, we shall see how this genre develops. So once in a while I'd flirt with BF2 for an evening. But the shine had dimmed on BF2. Though like Defender, the coin op, or NHL 93 for the megadrive, it always had a soft spot as a gamer. And that is something to behold to be named in those ranks. As an internet thing, and PC, it took me to a new level. The human interaction instead of playing a consol like say, Goldeneye for the Nintendo ten years ago, between friends in a room. And it is not like the silly spam fest of other such games. It has depth and hence for me the right to be named amongst those that stood out and actually did something in the gaming field. It had reaction speed, timing, stealth, intuition and guile to incorporate into it. Ok, it did not have the fan thing, or luck keyed into it like NHL93 but that is another game altogether and the best by far as a standard to be met by developers in this field because even though it is a different game - it showed: quality.

I'm hoping a new version of the game will show alot of quality that holds like the giants (as couple mentioned) and not the dross. And am also glad of the BF2 server at TG for many reasons. I hope it is supported alot through the community.
