Update: PR:BF2 v0.97 Map Pack Release Date

[[R-DEV]AncientMan]

After releasing 0.973 in August, the Project Reality team has been keeping busy making even more content for our award winning modification to Battlefield 2. To make things different this year, we have decided that instead of releasing the usual Christmas themed map pack, we would provide an early release of a few new maps that are ready now, ahead of our next anticipated release in 2012.

So, without further delay, the Project Reality team is proud to announce the PR: BF2 v0.973 Map Pack, which will be released on:

Saturday, December 17th, 2011 at 01:00:00
Approximate Release Time, UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)

Included Maps
The following brand new maps will be included in the map pack:
<ul><li>Black Gold (4km)</li><li>Operation Marlin (2km)</li><li>Pavlovsk Bay (4km)</li><li>Vadso City (4km)</li></ul>

In addition to these 4 new maps, the following previously released Project Reality: BF2 maps will be making a return, updated and overhauled for the current version of PR:BF2:
<ul><li>Assault On Mestia (1km)</li><li>Operation Ghost Train (1km)</li><li>Tad Sae Offensive (1km)</li></ul>

Download Information
The map pack will be available via torrent and direct download. The approximate size is 550Mb. Details on where to download will be provided on the Project Reality website as soon as it's ready for download.

Map Pack DLC
The map pack is official downloadable content (DLC) for existing users of PR:BF2 version 0.973 and is completely optional. The maps featured in this map pack will be integrated into PR:BF2's next full release, v1.0, which we are planning to release sometime next year.

While it is still completely optional, it is recommended you install this map pack to ensure you can play problem free on all of your favorite servers, as server admins may mix normal v0.973 maps and this map pack in the same rotation.

Beta Test Participants
If you participated in the beta test last month, upgrading to the final release is extremely simple. Just install the final map pack when it releases, and all beta files will be automatically overwritten with the final release files.

Server Files
If you currently host a Project Reality game server, you should receive the server files for map pack via the Server Admin Control Panel, a few hours before the client files release. If you are interested in hosting a new server, please follow the link below to apply for a server license.

If you are in the market for a new game server to host Project Reality: BF2, look no further than PR's officially endorsed server provider, Alpha Networks. Alpha Networks provide Project Reality: BF2 game servers to the public at highly competitive prices, as well as dedicated servers, and first-class customer support.

So, with 7 new maps for everyone to play on, we hope that everyone is excited, and we look forward to seeing you on the servers when the map pack releases!
