BASED Community

The BASED Clan Tournament or BCT is a Project Reality event where eight Clans will face each other until one becomes victorious. This Tournament invites every Clan in the PR Community with the interest of bringing the Community even closer and to promote a friendly yet competitive and teamwork-oriented environment.

Every Clan is welcomed to the Tournament, from all skill levels and country. For those individuals who wish to join, but are not in a Clan, can create a Clan/Unit specifically for the Tournament.

The BCT will follow a knockout or elimination format where each match will consist of an 8 vs 8 skirmish infantry layout. The Tournament will last up to a month and matches will be fought each weekend. The maps will be selected at random and will be announced a week prior to the commencement of the Tournament.

Before joining or signing up your Clan, please make sure you read and follow the Rules & Regulations found HERE.

Ever since we introduced the beta program for new maps with Sahel we were happy to see many of you posted feedback and suggestions. So today we introduce a new map in the beta program: Route E-106. This map, just like Sahel is in need of community feedback and play testing before it can be finalized and implemented. Route E-106 features a forested and rural environment in hopes of creating an appealing aesthetic and features unpredictable flag layouts so that every round is fresh and develops differently each time you play. This map also serves as a proof of concept for influencing squad cohesion with careful placement of overgrowth and deliberate terrain alterations.

We also added an update to the Dutch infantry weapons with the addition of C7NLD and C8NLD and a rework of the MINIMI. Next to all this there are some changes and fixes as usual which you can read all below. Enjoy the release!

It has been a while since the last map update highlight and today we'd like to bring you Vadso City.


To begin, the bushes were redone for gameplay reasons. Lower in height than before, tweaked density, no longer casting shadows to blend in more and re-exported 3D model itself to fix some issues, they should hopefully be less detrimental to gameplay.


Lightmaps were also optimized, reducing the large amount of textures loaded while also increasing quality in other areas. For anyone struggling with memory issues this should come as a welcome.

Next up, Advance and Secure (AAS). The infamous southern route has been removed along with the island flag. Three flag routes now focus on the city and points of interest closer to center of map. Domes of Death were expanded.

CAS and tanks were removed opting instead for a mix of BTR-80, BRDM-2 and MTLB on Russian side against Warrior, Scimitar, Land Rover and Panther on British side in terms of assets.


AAS Alternative now holds an inverted layout with Russians starting at Camp Nyborgmoen and...
