Been a few years...

Since I was playing PR:BF2 regularly, but things have changed with work/life and I have more free time (yay!). Sadly, seems like HoG's servers are nearly always empty now and the european-based servers are in the 150ms range, so I used to avoid them.

Three things:

HoG/US-based servers always empty?

If so, where's all the North American players at?

What's ArmA 2/3 PR like?

I really never liked the ArmA 2 stock MP as the servers were almost always co-op and seemed to be a bit of a laugher the few times I played; I admit I didn't really give it much of a chance, but on first blush it seemed like a waste of time, MP-wise.

Anyways, older player hoping to get caught up to speed on what's going on.

Thanks for your time.

FCV I guess?

I don't even know what that means.

Free Candy Van. Look at PRSPY, it's currently full.
FCV and HOG are the main US servers right now.

Oh ok, so PRSPY is the server browser of choice now.

Thanks, I'll take a peek.

Any thoughts on ArmA 2/3 PR?

Just a note, weapon deviation and mumble integration are probably the biggest changes since you last left.

I don't know much about Arma 2/3 PR, it's not such a huge deal unfortunately.

I wonder why PR2 devs aren't as community friendly and optimistic as A3 devs?

Thanks, yeah, Mumble was something that a few were using, but I never tried it as the in-game voice chat seemed fine.

What's the deal with Mumble? Do you launch/connect before joining a server? Does it automatically handle the inter/intra-squad communications? If there's an FAQ or Mumble/PR manual somewhere I will go read it.

It handles everything automatically, it's fully integrated into PR now and it is really awesome.

A friendly advice would be to re-read the manual again because A LOT of things were changed and A LOT of new things were added
