We are pleased to announce that a new map will be featured in the next content patch for Project Reality.

Masirah, based on the real life location of the same name, is a map by Rabbit that has been sitting on the bench for a while. Thanks to some free time during lockdown we've been able to bring the map up for inclusion.


Aside from a new locale we're also introducing some new gameplay features. Main bases for both teams are, currently lacking a proper model, a Mistral class lookalike carrier situated outside of the map, similar to Falklands. It will be up to both French and MEC teams to utilise their air and waterborne assets to reach the mainland.

To deal with base protection in outside terrain we've now implemented a Python-based DOD system coded by
[R-DEV]AlonTavor that replaces the vanilla DOD system which otherwise doesn't work in outside terrain. The end result is roughly a 6x4km playable area seen below with adequate base protection for both teams.

Hello guys! As you may know, three of my creations have already made it into the game, Assault on Grozny, Bamyan and Reichswald. Today I would like to present to you my fourth map, which is finally nearing completion.

When I started working on this map back in March of 2015 I had no idea of how much effort it would actually take to finish it. This is by far the most arduous map project I’ve done so far.

Assault on Grozny was a big project that took a long time to complete, but most areas of the map could be built in a unique way which made it more fun. My interest in the Chechen conflict, and my strong will to see a map like Grozny in the game also made it easier, and of course the map was only 2 km.

Bamyan however, is 4 km and quite detailed compared to some other 4 km maps. Although when I made Bamyan, to some degree I followed the same formula as most 4 km maps, i.e. one or two types of terrain texture, and focusing details mostly around a handful of POI’s spread around the map.

My latest map, Reichswald, was actually a side project that I started working on in 2017 after getting tired of working on the map I am presenting today. It is a detailed map but it is only 1 km, so i managed to complete it relatively quickly.

The map I would like to present to you today is called Fields of Kassel. Some of you might have seen a sneak peek here and there, but I guess it’s new to most of you. It is going to...

With the upcoming PR:BF2 1.6.1 update we not only bring a lot of additional bug fixes for the recent v1.6 launch, but also included a couple of bigger gameplay changes. This highlight will give you more perspective and details about these upcoming changes.

Changes to stamina
When getting revived you usually get the black & white bleed effect to disable instant sprinting away. This effect could be avoided by putting a field dressing on the body before reviving. In order to prevent just revived soldier from sprinting away, you will now get revived with 0% stamina.

In addition to the above changes we also reduce the available stamina while bleeding. If you go below 60% HP the time you will be able to sprint will be proportional to your current HP. Once you reach 10% HP and go into the black&white effect, your current stamina will be set to 0% just like after a revive. The time to refill your stamina always stays the same. With this wounded soldiers will be unable to travel as fast as healthy ones.

Some numbers:

• Normal sprint time: 30s
• Normal refill time: 30s
• 50% HP sprint time: ~25s
• 50% HP refill time: 30s

Changes to UAV
Currently the commander gets to stare at a black screen until the UAV finally arrives at its location. With this all the information it could have gathered while...

The Project Reality Team is proud to announce the official release of Project Reality: BF2 v1.6! We would like to start with a major thank you for the ongoing support and feedback through all these years. We are now in PR:BF2's 16th year of development, that is no small feat. Today, Project Reality: BF2 is a free-to-play & standalone online game, with an emphasis on realistic combat environments, teamwork and cooperation with 50v50 servers. The development cycle for v1.6 was long and difficult, but it is your support that keeps us going! Today we are excited to launch our 39th major update.

Project Reality:BF2 v1.6
In this latest version of Project Reality: BF2, we implement the long-awaited World War 2 Western Front theatre, with a fully equipped US Army and Wehrmacht, battling on five brand new maps with dozens of new weapons and vehicles. Next to that we also introduce several other new assets and features to the core PR experience. You can find more information in the changelog below the screenshots.

We are excited to announce our 39th major release of Project Reality: v1.6! It will feature the highly anticipated World War 2 theatre, but that's not everything we have prepared for this occasion. We would like to highlight some of the things that will be available for you to play very soon!

World War 2 has finally been fully integrated into Project Reality after seeing a lot of improvements and additions since the WW2 Beta a few years back. It features the Western Front with US and German forces, 33 weapons, 16 vehicles and 5 new maps. We would like to thank everyone who contributed over the years to the WW2 project, their names can be found below.

Another big part of the v1.6 update is new and updated content for existing factions. Adding not only two new helicopters and several vehicles, the Russian forces will also now no longer rely on a cargo ship to transport their troops to battle, as the Vladimir Andreev LPD ship will be their new main base on maps such as Vadso, Saaremaa and Beirut.

Many new features have been added such as the ability to drag bodies, ejector seats in aircraft, improved lag compensation and parachutes opening automatically. Furthermore, the main menus has received a makeover to look more modern. Several vehicle HUDs have also been updated.

As this is only the announcement, it’s by no means a full and complete list of all features and content, for that you’ll have to wait for the full changelog. We plan to release v1.6...
