I'm an experienced Role-Player looking for a committed realistic version of bf2

[Delfer]

When I found this mod I thought it was great for one very important reason: I've been trying to play bf2 seriously for a while which is like trying to shoot a chipmunk with a water gun from 5miles away... (Lame comparison) With all those sickening (Insert map name here) 24/7 Infantry Only servers and the grenades flying everywhere I can't even play happily anymore! I find a mod out-of-the-blue that boasts realism and dedication to the game and I jump to it.

I'm very interested in the game and how I see all these different tactical formations and limits to the squad kits and all that stuff but I need to know a few things first...

1: I found that this mod can be downloaded from FilePlanet which is a site I trust and will download from. This is the link: FilePlanet: Battlefield 2 - Project Reality v0.75 Mod Core
I just want to confirm that that is the correct file and latest version.

2: Are the players here active? Do people regularly post on the boards and play the game? I don't want to play in a server with 5 people or have no response to this question... I understand that the servers won't have 800 players but there should be enough to have a fair amount on each team,
right?

3: Is the ranking the same as bf2 un-modded? And are there awards? Pls explain.


If you could answer these three questions I'd be very grateful and if it sounds good I'll join tomorrow

Sorry for Typo's

1. You need both the Core and the Levels files in order to play PR.

2. There's always a good amount of people playing, right now there are 465 players on the servers.

3. Some servers use ABR (Alternative Battlefield Ranking) which works like the normal BF2 Ranking, but without unlocks.

And welcome

So does that mean that I download that and the level files? Can you get me a link to the download files or something?

Also, is Teamspeak used for strategy? Can you play without it?

[[R-DEV]bosco]

Yes, Core and Levels.
You can get both files from one of the sites listed here:
Project Reality : Battlefield 2 Mod - Mod File Links


TeamSpeak is used by some servers (and the clans owning/playing on them), but it's not mandatory.
Using ingame VoIP is more important.

Err excuse my "noobness" but what is this in-game Voip?

[[R-DEV]bosco]

BF2 has a build-in communication tool (Voice over IP), you press 'B' (default) to talk to your squadmates (kinda like Teamspeak).

And V for the commander channel if you are squadleader. Also, the score is something that shouldnt matter a lot in PR - though it is still there, it is often better not to shoot at a target if that gives away your position, even if you'd get a few points for it. Make sure to join a squad, without you'll probably get auto-kicked, and even if not, it is a very important aspect of the game. Make sure to completly read the maunal for all informations. Before using heavier vehicles/aircraft, test those on an empty server or LAN server, or download the singleplayer-minimod (has its own forum section) or use community-created training tools/maps/minimods, also found here on the site.

Ahh I see, I could guessed that hehe. This all sounds perfect but only one question remains, *cough*Is there and age restriction?*cough cough cough*

I can understand you ask this question, if you have only tried -vanilla- Battlefield 2 .

If you want to play Project Reality, it's best to get yourself a microphone, as almost everyone uses voip for communications; point out location of enemies, talk tactics, give orders, explain things, scream blood, fire and murder, followed by a series of death screams, followed by shouts of excitement, joy and glory .

So yes, voip is pretty much mandatory . Tip, join squads named "voip", "teamwork", "tactics", "awesome!" (usually frosty mcownage squadleading, the great man he is ), etc.

Edit: age restriction? What's that? No, there's is none . If you can act and behave mature, give and/or follow orders and work -together-, the people will love you for it .

You are not alone out there, you have like 31 men on your side, all fighting the same enemy. Don't go Rambo-ing, as it will get you killed and I can tell you, get used to seeing the black screen of death a LOT of times, hehe (especially in the beginning, but you'll get used to it and after a while, you don't even notice ).

Nope, the PR community goes from 12 - 50+
