The Project Reality modding team has been supporting its Project Reality mod for Battlefield 2 for almost twenty years. And, yesterday, the team released a new major update for it.
Although I don’t play BF2 anymore, it’s fascinating witnessing the dedication of this team. So, kudos to them for offering new updates to their mod these past twenty years.
For those unaware, Project Reality is a mod for Battlefield 2 (BF2) that makes the game more realistic and focuses on teamwork. Almost everything in the game has been changed to be more like real life. For example, the way bullets behave, like damage, accuracy, and drop, now match real weapons. This means that players need to work together and use real combat tactics to succeed. Or at least that’s the concept.
What’s interesting here is that a lot of people seem to be playing this mod. The team claimed that Project Reality surpassed 1,000 concurrent online players in 2024. Over 320,000 players have experienced Project Reality in the last four years, including more than 80,000 new players in 2024. So, more power to them.
Project Reality: Battlefield 2 Version 1.8 adds six new factions to the game. These are: Soviet Forces WW2 1941-42, Soviet Forces WW2 1944-45, German Forces WW2 1941-42, Russian 1990s, Militia 1990s and Chechen 1990s. Moreover, it brings 10 new maps to the game. Not only that, but it adds new vehicle, kit, and menu icons.
Those interested can download the latest version of the mod from this link. Below you can also find a trailer for it. This trailer shows off its key features, so be sure to watch it.
Again, I have nothing but good things to say about this mod. If you are a die-hard BF2 player, I highly recommend downloading it and giving it a go. And if you are not, watch the trailer to see what this modding team has been cooking all this time.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

if only triple A developers were this dedicated keeping their games alive.
all the crazy things i did in BF2..brings back memories..
If EA and DICE weren't companies entirely comprised of clueless bundles of sticks, they would've hired these guys to make a proper next gen Battlefield.

Man, that was a flashback to the dark ages of gaming on Linux, where I used to fiddle around with WINE to get it to translate DX9 using games to OpenGL, so I could enjoy these at half their original speed compared to Windows.
How far we've come…
Kudos to them for supporting this game for so long! well done!
Not sure if its worth noting that the project reality mod is actually managed by many of the same devs of the game SQUAD.
