I just posted a whole thread on this that got deleted, so im just going to copy and paste over from realitymod.com and show you just what Project Reality has done to Bf2.

Project Reality is a free to download game modification for the Battlefield 2 (BF2) retail windows game. The Reality Mod installs alongside the existing game installation allowing both the original game and Project Reality to be played separately without causing conflicts.

The Mod developers aims are to rework the original game engine developed by Digital Illusions of Sweden (Dice) within legal and feasible constraints to create a more realistic combat environment for the gaming community. This includes adjusting various gameplay elements including physics, visual effects and overall game play formats. Along with changes to how the game handles, the PR team has been introducing British and Insurgent factions, plus a number of community assisted factions are currently in the works to introduce Canadian, Russian and IDF forces to the virtual battlefields.

Project Reality has won second place two years running in ModDB.com annual Mod of the Year competition. The competition is the definitive event that showcases the best mods and indie games in the world and recognises the teams behind them.

The Project Reality team comprises a group of dedicated individuals, several of whom have backgrounds in armed services and whose sole task is to provide researched material, including statistical information to the developers. These are in turn tasked with coding and creating the mod itself. If you are looking for a fact based first person shooter from the perspective of a combat soldier, we feel Project Reality will provide for your gaming needs.

"Battlefield is all about fun, action-oriented gameplay. We'll leave the truly realistic experiences to the mod teams who thrive on that type of action." (DICE)

"Battlefield will always be first about fun and secondly about realism. Realism implies complexity." (Sean Decker)

"As close to war as you are going to get when it comes to the Battlefield franchise" (TotalBF2.com)

"Get ready for one of the meanest, most ruthlessly-demanding shooter experiences around." (IGN.com)

The Mod is currently in its eighth incarnation, Project Reality 0.8. In its earliest forms, the Project Reality Mini-Mod series began as a platform to experiment with certain realism changes and analyse their impact on gameplay with the retail BF2 engine. As the changes have progressed into tried and tested features it has become a product with a frequent release schedule which provides the gaming community with ever increasing material on the battlefield whilst improving on the realistic gaming necessary to satisfy their needs.

The ultimate goal continues to be the path to develop and release Project Reality v1.0, a stable and completed Mod build which will be a markedly increased step up from the Project Reality Mini-Mod beginnings. This will include a complete British faction, including their various soldier classes, weaponry, vehicles and assets, as well as additional factions created by the community with help from the core developers.


Basically, Project Reality is a mod with thousands of players dedicated to make each round consist of teamwork and cooperation, the likes of which have never been seen before.

If your interested in playing, make sure you have a mic. It's impossible to follow your squad or suppress the enemy in a firefight without constantly communicating. The same for armor squads, telling points of interest to your gunner (Yes, no more 1 person armor). Like flying? Theres no way you can put 50 Hydra rockets on your target or spray it with the A-10's GAU-8 unless you have a spotter on the ground.


Ill post a little gallery here for you :)

    I've had reality mod for quite sometime now, absolutely love it. If you've got a decent set of headphones or speakers, crank them up, turn the lights off and you've got yourself a pretty damn realistic game.

    Yep this mod seems pretty sweet, but its very complicated (or maybe I'm just slow :) ).

    Anyways, after you get it installed and play around with it a little your bound to be confused.

    Thankfully there is a Wiki for n00bs.

    What I really dig about this mod (asside from the graphics overhaul) is that it forces players into teamwork that I wish people would participate in vanilla BF2.

    Yea, that's what I like the most too. Yesterday I found myself in a squad with guys from around the world and we were working together clearing a house and covering each other going through an alley, teamwork makes the game much more fun. Every now and then I'll get on special forces when I just wanna kill something and not work together. :crazy:
