Update: PR:BF2 Falklands v0.1 Addon Release Date & Trailer

[[R-DEV]2Slick4U]

Hello and welcome to an exciting update from the Project Reality team. Today we are very proud to announce that the release of our third official DLC, PR:BF2 Falklands (PR:F), is finally upon us! You heard right, the infamous 1982 Falklands War has been recreated within the PR:BF2 v0.97 modification. Our entire team has labored endlessly and dedicated themselves to ensure that this addon remains historically accurate while preserving the team-oriented gameplay and high quality that has come to be expected from PR team.

Even though this release will include several place holders, the gameplay and quality is very solid and we feel that it is time to show our progress and have you help serve as a platform for testing the new content and features in a public environment. So, it is with great pleasure that the PR team will be publicly releasing Project Reality: BF2 Falklands v0.1 on:

Friday, October 5th, 2012 at 19:00:00

About the Falklands War
Three hundred miles off the Argentina coast in the South Atlantic lay the British-owned Falkland Islands, consisting of two main isles (East and West Falkland) and about two hundred smaller islands. With a total population of only a couple thousand stalwart individuals, the Falklands seems an odd place to fight a war over, but that's exactly what happened on Friday 2nd April 1982 when the Argentine war machine invaded and captured the islands.

In response, the British dispatched a naval task force 8,000 miles to engage the Argentine Forces and retake the islands. Seventy-two days later the conflict was over. The British forces, which had been outnumbered from the start, triumphed over the Argentine forces, capturing 11,000 prisoners but suffered casualties numbering in the hundreds.

Download Information
The PR:BF2 Falklands addon will be distributed as a single installer and will be available via Torrent and direct download. The Project Reality: BF2 v0.97 mod will be required to play this addon. Similar to the recent release of Project Reality: Vietnam, this DLC release will be a completely optional addon. However, due to many servers running the PR:F addon, we strongly recommend that everyone download and install it to avoid problems with servers running a mixed map rotation.

If you currently host a Project Reality game server, you will receive the server files for Project Reality: BF2 Falklands via the Server Admin Control Panel a few hours before the release. If you are interested in hosting a new server, please Apply For a License.


In conclusion, we hope that everyone is looking forward to the release of PR:BF2 Falklands. We are confident that everyone can look past the in-game place holders and have an enjoyable time while hashing it out in this remote part of the South Atlantic.
