Anyway I really love this mod (Project Reality), and I really want them to incorporate this little mod (My Mod) that I made. It really makes the battles seem more realistic, and really adds tension as you see the smoke build up as firefights go on. This is something that is really hard to show in pictures/movies. It is really best to play for yourself.
This may be old news for some of the TotalBF2ers here but what the heck, why not?

2 Question FAQ
1. Is it realistic?
Yes and no. Firearms in real life emit much more smoke than they do fire/flash (well as far as the human eye can see anyway). This mod basically replaces all muzzleflashes with two smoke effects. A short term smoke that you see everytime you fire, and a long term that lingers around for quite some time. Short answer, yes it is realistic because there is more smoke. No because it is a little overdone
2. How does it run?
This is a toughie. Mileage may vary. On my computer the mod hardly effected performance, I actually did not notice a difference at all. My friend told me that it cut about 5-10 frames. Not too bad considering what it does. It really should not matter though. BF2 automatically scales all effects, so for example if you are already playing on medium settings the effects will have as much a performance hit as they would if they were on high. In theory anyway...
I swear I spent 30 minutes writing and editing this post.
