The project reality mod has some great potential here at Tactical Gamer but it will take a little bit of work to get there.

A majority of PR players are looking to both realism and teamwork. Many external PR servers offer the realism but lack in the teamwork. TG now has the capability to offer both. It is surprising how many of the new faces will follow SL orders. After just two nights we've had quite a few faces return and quite a few in-game comments that this is the best server for communication & teamwork.

Now the hard part lies in getting these new faces to experience the TG-way of playing. Many will be shy / quiet at first because they aren't used to open communication. Many won't have the experience leading a TG-squad. What I found out though is it did not take much to get them rolling. They just needed a round or two with a TG player.

Here is where I'd like to ask the TG community for help. I understand many of us, including myself, have limited gaming time and that we'd like to spend that time playing with TG players. I don't want to stop that. What I'd like to see happening is that at least one round per night, break out of the normal TG squad and work with the new faces. Explain to them the way we play and invite them to the forums. That's it, one round. If we are all doing this, then there should be very few rounds where there is an all pubby squad.

If you feel comfortable, take the SL position at least once per night. This is both a learning experience to be SL and a great way to show the TG leadership to the new faces. Rope the players in and capture their interest.

Now if you are really feeling frisky, take the CO chair. Let's work through and figure out how to organize these green squads. We're all learning the maps so be patient. The CO chair also needs to be filled to provide supplies and artillery, when available.

Now when we're reaching out to these new faces please make sure to explain to them that we run a vanilla conquest mode and not AAS. Many PR players have a habit of swarming to the flags because just about every other PR server runs AAS. We all know AAS is frustrating when there are 25v25 fighting over the same one or two flags. TG separates itself by demonstrating cohesive squads and comprehensive strategies on conquest maps. Do your best to avoid the whack-a-mole problems that many players are afraid of.

Barring the occasional server crash, TG has the opportunity to be the most populated PR server out there. On top of that, we can demonstrate that there can be more teamwork, communication, tactics, strategy, etc. on this large scale. Let's seize this moment to increase the TG BF community. Getting these players to return frequently and visit the forums will introduce them to great game-play on the PoE2 and 2142 servers.
