Greetings everyone! After a hiatus of four years I am reinstalling bf2 and Project reality. However I have some questions.
1. Can I just install patch 1.5 or do I have to install every patch released before that?
2. I know PR is multiplayer oreinted but I was wondering if I can play single player skirmishes and if the AI bots are improved over vanilla BF.
Please forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong forum or if the answers to my questions are right under my nose. Thank you very much for your time!

Re: Returning after 4 years with questions
Thank you very much CTRifle for the warm welcome! Quick question. What do you mean by "both patches"? As you can see in Battlefield 2 | Files | Official Patches | Game Front there are many patches for BF2. Do I just install 1.41 and 1.5? Sorry for these questions. Thank you for any assistance.

Re: Returning after 4 years with questions
After you install vBF2, install 1.41 then 1.5. You should be set to install PR after that.

Re: Returning after 4 years with questions
I take it that vBF2 is the state that BF is in immediately after installing the discs (I have the original retail discs)? Once again I apologize for the noob level questions!

While PR installs, be sure to read the manual to see what has changed. Many of the important changes are listed there. https://www.realitymod.com/manual/pr_manual.pdfwargod2009 wrote:Awesome! Thank you so much! I look forward to seeing you all in game!
