Welcome to Project Reality: Battlefield 2 (aka PR:BF2), a modification for the retail Battlefield 2 multi-player PC game. Project Reality's aim is to create a more realistic combat environment than standard Battlefield 2, and place a greater emphasis on teamwork and cooperation. Most of the aspects of Battlefield 2 that have the capacity to be modified have been tweaked, or completely overhauled, to reflect their real life counterparts, for increased realism. Ballistics have for example also been audited to reflect those of real weapons, including characteristics such as damage, deviation and bullet drop depending on a weapon systems calibre. Since EA and DICE no longer support Battlefield 2 and is no longer being played online, the Project Reality team made PR:BF2 a standalone game. No longer is a installation of Battlefield 2 required and we have implemented our own online account system for online play.

The award-winning Project Reality Team is proud to announce the official release of Project Reality: BF2 v1.8!

Celebrating 20 years of continuous development, we are excited to announce the launch of our 41st major update! This update stands out as one of the most content-rich in our history, achieved within one of our shortest development cycles relative to the volume of delivered content. Our ongoing support for the game is made possible by our community's persistent backing through donations.

As we enter our third decade of uninterrupted development, we express our gratitude to all community members who have contributed to the success of Project Reality as the first of its kind, large-scale, teamwork-oriented standalone multiplayer experience in a realistic combat environment. We are also grateful to over 320,000 players who have experienced Project Reality in the last four years, including more than 80,000 new players in 2024 alone. Remarkably, this year, Project Reality surpassed 1,000 concurrent online players for the first time in nearly a decade, proving without a doubt that Project Reality and its population remain strong. Thank you for being part of our journey!

On this day, 83 years ago, on June 22, 1941, the Red Army and the Wehrmacht clashed along a 3,000-kilometer (1,800-mile) front. Fought on the ashes of annexed Eastern European countries, the operation was code-named after Frederick Barbarossa ("red beard") and marked the largest land offensive in human history.
