Something doesn't add up... file planet

Download Battlefield 2 - Project Reality v0.8 Mod Core
Filename: pr_0809_core_setup.exe
Author: Project Reality
Size: 1,496.1 MB
Created: 10/18/2005
Updated: 8/29/2008
Downloads: 183,839

183,839 downloads already and climbing?!

Ok, let's say only a quarter of those people decided to actually even play the mod (highly unlikely due to the 2Gb+ download) that means we only need what...718, 64 slot servers up.

Someone please tell me I am wrong, is this even possible?

Fileplanet would have just updated the 0.75 download links... In fact I think those figures are since 0.5 or 0.6.

It's a completely different number on every Project Reality file, unless this is for some reason totalled.

its' possible that more servers will start playing PRM.

but I think a lot less than 1/4 of those will actually play project reality.

Yeah, that's every PR release since they first started hosting PR, back in 2005.

Probably just the [R-PUB]s downloading it loads of times to make it seem really popular...

Confused me a little, seems with introducing a new file they add the total from every other download ontop of that? Seems a little silly really..

Nah, it allows them to rank mods based on popularity, based on total download numbers.


Not a true reflection of a mod's current playerbase, but hey, there you go.

They just pulled those numbers out of there butts. They do that with all files so people think something is good cause everyone must be DLing it. More BS from FP.

If they are adding them up with every cumulative release how could the 0.8 levels files possibly be at

These figures are completely FUBAR.

Releasing PR on fileplanet is maybe a good way to attract a new player base (i.e more vannilla tards) but in terms of spreading the files this is from far the worst idea ever.

Oh snap, with only 12 posts, you aren't describing yourself are you? :)



Ah YES, the flood of nilla smacktards are on there way here right now.

For the next two weeks it's gonna seem like Deja vu all over again. I can hear the pidder padder of little nilla feet coming closer as I type this.


Prepare to witness noob, and smacktard behavior for the next 2 to 3 weeks ;) But alass, this too shall pass away :)

Rico, behave. You may be a tester but you aren't above being warned for being a jackass to new forum members/players :p

Sundance: take the new players, teach them how to play. You end up with more good players... ALL of us were vBF2 players at some point so the same goes for you - play nice :p
