Now Recruiting Mature BF2 and SF players!

Project Reality is a modification for the soon to be released Battlefield 2 engine. The developer's aims are to rework the original game engine developed by Digital Illusions of Sweden (Dice) to recreate a realistic combat environment. This includes adjusting the game's various elements that include physics, visual effects and gameplay. Along with changes to how the game handles, the PR team intends to include additional factions such as the British Military, and add to or alter existing factions so that they resemble real life military elements found within their respective environments.

The name 'Project Reality' is not solely for the purpose of throwing around a catchy title. Project Reality's team has a group of dedicated individuals, several of whom have backgrounds in armed services. Whose sole task it is to provide researched findings and statistical information to the developers tasked with creating the mod itself. If you are looking for a fact based FPS shooter from the perspective of a Soldier, Project Reality will be there to cater to those needs.

Inspiration for this modification has come from interviews BF2 Developers have participated in, to quote:

"Battlefield is all about fun, action-oriented gameplay. We'll leave the truly realistic experiences to the mod teams who thrive on that type of action." (DICE, source)

"Battlefield will always be first about fun and secondly about realism. Realism implies complexity." (Sean Decker, source)

Here are some very basic features that this mod will demonstrate once released.
- Kill Indicator Removed (e.g. Player A has killed Player B)
- Eliminate Friendly Indicator
- Realistic Ballistics (Bullet Drop, Speed, ROF)
- Longer Spawn Times (So hold on to your life)
- Realistic Damage (Goal is that damage to different hitboxes has different outcomes)

Forgotten Hope is a modification for Battlefield 1942 that concentrates on adding both a more realistic and more enjoyable playing experience than the original BF1942 and includes many new specially designed custom maps to play in.

The mod includes over 250 new pieces of authentic equipment (more than any other Second World War FPS), with tanks such as the mighty Russian IS-2 heavy tank and the diminutive Japanese Ha-Go light tank, aircraft from the rugged American P47 Thunderbolt to the antiquated British Fairey Swordfish biplane, warships such as the British Ark Royal aircraft carrier and the German Battleship Tirpitz and weapons including the powerful German Panzerfausts and the fearsome Russian PPSh-41 submachine gun.

New gameplay elements include a pilot class, which is now the only class equipped with a parachute, these can be found as pickup kits near most aircraft. There are also kits that contain deployable heavy machine guns, which can be setup anywhere on the map to create defensive strongpoints. Tank combat is greatly enhanced by a specially designed armour code, which determines how much armour anti-tank shells can penetrate, making it advantageous to outflank tanks to attack their weak rear armour. There are also towed anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns, these can be driven to a hidden ambush point then deployed to surprise the enemy.

The infantry class system has also been altered for more realistic and tactical gameplay, most maps will now allow you to choose from close quarters (an SMG armed soldier), assault (a rifleman who can use special rifle grenades), support (armed with a light machine gun), anti-tank (armed with an anti-tank weapon such as the bazooka) and officer (who can act as a spotter for artillery weapons and has an SMG). Sniper kits can now only be found spread around the maps, usually in special sniper hides. There are also paratrooper kits for certain maps that call for them, such as falschrimjager for the invasion of Crete.

All these features are implemented in a historically accurate way, so you won’t find the King Tiger on a map set in 1940. Speaking of maps, we also have many new custom maps (more maps than came with BF9142 infact) in addition to modified versions of some of the more popular original maps. The game also includes a new army, the Polish forces, and the French and Italian armies are also currently being implemented. In the future you can expect a host of new features, such as artillery batteries and flame based weapons along with even more accurate equipment for all armies.

So whether you like house to house fighting in Stalingrad, tank battles in the Tunisian desert or dogfights in skies over southern England – Forgotten Hope has something for you.

Ukraine - winter 2007/8.

On a midwinter’s morning, the success of the peaceful ‘Orange Revolution’ of two years before had been brought undone. At 2am, in the still of night, an alliance of pro-Russian factions stormed into the presidential mansion, executing the president and proclaiming the establishment of a new government.

In a few short weeks, all signs of opposition to the oppressive new regime had been brutally stamped out, with all prominent members of opposing political parties either turning up dead, or having gone missing, and all other dissidents imprisoned.

By winters end, heavy international pressure for the re-establishment of democratic processes, beginning with a free press, had built up, largely at the instigation of major western powers such as Germany, the United States, France and Great Britain. Moreover, the entire European Union, the United States, and NGO’s such as Amnesty International had begun to raise concerns of serious human rights violations against Ukrainian minorities such as Crimean Tartars (many having their citizenship status revoked and tortured while incarcerated); imprisonment, torture and suspected execution of Roma people; organized attacks on Hungarians; a rise in anti-Semitic violence and the imprisonment of people living with HIV/AIDS.

In spring 2008, the fledgling conservative German government, in power for seven months, had made its first major diplomatic decision, informing Kiev that if democratic reforms are not made, further diplomatic consequences will result, and showed it was serious by cutting off all trade ties accounting for a loss of ~16% of Ukraine’s imports/exports.

After failed attempts by the United States’ and German secret services to engineer a collapse of the regime, and a decision by other NATO countries that they saw no need to get involved in what was expected to be a US air-power dominated, 1999 Balkans-style campaign, the United States signaled that is was only willing to provide monetary and logistical support for any campaign that Germany engaged in, whilst under the table it had decided that if Russia were to join the conflict, then the US would invoke the NATO pact and 'provide more than mere logistical assistance'.

In spring 2009, German Paratroopers from southeastern Germany dropped over farmland in western Ukraine with the task of securing an airfield near the city of Rivne so that supplies and aircraft operations could be organised. Simultaneously, an amphibious landing operation from the Black Sea was launched in the area near Odessa with the objective of securing oilfields and industrial zones in the Crimea and southern Ukraine to hinder the Ukrainian Military’s fighting and logistic capacity.

After initial German success, the Ukrainians managed to stall the German offensive in a U-shaped line stretching 120 kilometres west of the Dnepr River, to the south of Kiev, and up towards Kharkiv. It was soon found that this was enabled by an increased logistic capacity thanks to supplies originating from Russian military bases and weapons factories in Kazakhstan. Later, US intelligence gathered evidence of Russian aircraft flying nighttime sorties from bases in Kazakhstan against German positions in the Ukraine.

The United States seized the opportunity to invoke the NATO pact and launched cruise missile and air attacks on Russian military bases in Kazakhstan, closely followed by the decision to launch a full invasion of Kazakhstan in order to protect against any surprise attacks against US and German forces stationed in nearby Afghanistan. Under assurance that no fighting would be allowed to take place on its territory, along with the promise of monetary aid and trade benefits, Uzbekistan allowed US land forces to cross from Afghanistan into Kazakhstan.

Middle Eastern tension boils over and an Alliance of Arabic States launches a surprise attack on Israel to bring the Middle East under complete control and forms The Brotherhood of Arabic Nations.
Saudi Arabia remains on the fence unwilling to comit to either BoAN or the coalition. BoAN tries to force their hand into submission by assasinating the American Ambasadors in their compound to eliminate their influence.

North Korea having endured more starvation and depletion of natural resources have reached a peak. They need to do something to prevent the total collapse of their government. For many years they have watched South Korea grow and prosper under the close ties with the US. South Korean economic growth has infuriated the North who's poverty has grown at the same rate as the South's economic growth.. South Korea with its large industry and off shore oil resources is exactly what the North Koreans need in order to survive.

With the people starving and the U.S continued scale back of its military presence in the region (so that it can continue its occupation of Iraq and support of afghan operations.) The North Korean Army strikes hard threw the DMZ. The U.S under its current treaty with South Korea is obliged to send 650,000 troops immediately to help the South Koreans. The US issues draft notices to all Adults aged 18 to 30, and mobilizing every reserve unit. Even with this the US falls short of its requirements. And asks its allies to help. The UK again offers its help and sends 2 brigades to South Korea. Australians send 1 brigade and the Canadians send 2 battle groups one which is integrated with a British brigade and the other integrated in a American brigade.

The European Union Stalls and doesn't send any troops due to the build up of Russian troops along its borders.

China seeing the opportunity Pours in support to the North Korean effort and grasping the opportunity to expand and take over Taiwan since the American forces are stretched thin . China sends a lightning fast strike into Taiwan easily occupying it.

Russia's demise back to communism along with its continued pressure on its former states have formed the Union of Communist states. Their first order was to integrate the military's into one formidable fighting force to ensure china does not look her way along with strengthening its demands that the Black Sea countries Provide her with Unlimited resources
