1. Open the .zip with WinRAR or a similar program.
2. Execute the .exe
3. Follow the setup instructions and choose your Battlefield 2 folder, if necessary.
4. Once the install is done, enjoy! ;)

if its a .zip it will most likley have a .exe inside. just exstract hte .exe, then run the setup, and it will install it into the correct path etc. If its not a exe and just a "pr" folder or something in side, come back and say and we can go from there.

The final step and probably the most crucial to a sucesfull PR instal is to click on the player guide icon installed along with the PR icon. Reading through this will make your time with PR much, much.... much better. :grin:

Welcome and enjoy.

Don't get discouraged when PR seems like a pair of shoes filled with nails, to enjoy the mod i believe.. no, i -know- you need to be part of a good squad. Which can be hard to find sometimes.

PR can be really confusing and frustrating. Even experinced players can get a headache when a new release comes out.

The player guide helps in this area but as others have said if you can find a good squad you will see what the game is all about. Keep playing until you find a server you like and keep an eye on the names of players you liked playing with. I always scan the squad lists to see if I recognize any of the names before joining. :D
