Get Real: Project Reality 0.9 (Battlefield 2)

I dread to think what will happen when Project Reality reaches 1.0. At that point logging in will presumably see you enrolled in a real army and shipped off to an actual warzone to fight for your life. To tide us over ’til that exciting inevitability, version 0.9 of the incredibly popular war-sim mod has just been released, and it’s absolutely massive.

So, what’s new? 8 new maps, 3 new factions and an army truckload of tweaks for starters. Then there’s the 20 new vehicles and 20 new weapons as well as a few new game modes, including the exciting sounding Vehicle Warfare, which should see the heaviest armour in the game duking it out.

Then there are other intriguing additions, such as the addition of a ‘mutiny’ command for squad leaders. Bots are also included, so you can practice with the new weapons before unleashing hell on deadlier human opponents.

There’s far, far too much to mention in the space of one post, so take a look a the changelist here while you download. It’s a huge update, coming in two massive chunks. The first part is here (1,780mb) and the second is here (1,634mb).
