Project Reality (PR) is a modification for the retail Battlefield 2 multi-player PC game. Project Reality's aim is to create a more realistic combat environment than standard Battlefield 2, and place a greater emphasis on teamwork and cooperation.

Most of the aspects of Battlefield 2 that have the capacity to be modified have been tweaked, or completely overhauled, to reflect their real life counterparts, for increased realism. Ballistics have for example also been audited to reflect those of real weapons, including characteristics such as damage, deviation and bullet drop depending on a weapon systems calibre.

Since EA and DICE no longer support Battlefield 2 and is no longer being played online, the Project Reality team made PR:BF2 a standalone game. No longer is a installation of Battlefield 2 required and we have implemented our own online account system for online play.

Major Features
  • Standalone game. No Battlefield 2 installation required.
  • 100 player dedicated servers with up to 8 man squads.
  • Integrated custom VOIP system with 3D local speech.
  • Realistic behaviour for all aspects of the game while keeping it fun.
  • Heavy focus on teamwork based squad-gameplay with many new soldier classes.
  • Over 40 maps spanning 5 unique gamemodes.
  • Over 15 factions.
  • Many additional features such as deployable defences, thermal vision, logistics and many more
  • Modern warfare & insurgency but also historic battles such as Vietnam,Normandy and Falklands are featured.

Major Features of the v1.5 release
  • Added Polish Forces with over 20 new weapons and vehicles.
  • Added 3 new maps featuring Polish Forces : Outpost, Shahadah and Operation Thunder - BETA.
  • Added new Map Gallery.
  • Added Russian GAZ Tigr-M armored jeep.
  • Added Dutch DAF YA-4442 truck series.
  • Added H&K L134A1 GMG.
  • Updated requesting kits from crates. Will now cost supply points and deplete the crate.
  • Updated player manual

Gonna post this part again and bold it so people don't miss it. Since EA and DICE no longer support Battlefield 2 and is no longer being played online, the Project Reality team made PR:BF2 a standalone game. No longer is a installation of Battlefield 2 required and we have implemented our own online account system for online play.

Did they reimplement/switch the engine or are they still shipping DICE's binary with patches? I had tons of fun with PR but it always felt very janky due to engine limitations and I thought Squad is the spiritual successor for PR nowadays. Might need to check this out anyway.

Huh, no shit? You really have to admire the dedication of these guys, PR has been around for, what, a decade now?

The singleplayer works great on the smallest maps, but anything bigger and it falls apart.

Unfortunately no. It's amazing what they've been able to do with the Battlefield 2 engine. Maybe the community will focus on a reimplementation but this seems to have been abandoned.

Squad is great but they have a lot of catching up to do in terms of content. Also, Post Scriptum (Squad WW2) is coming soon.

These are all these mp focused games ?
Yeah. Squad just released their Alpha v10 trailer to compete with Project Reality's 1.5 release (despite it being an alpha, it's a solid game with a very active community)

v10 released today


Here's Post Scriptum


There's also Hell Let Loose releasing sometime this year but I'm not convinced on that one yet.
