Ok, I'm an idiot and fell for it. At least it better be a joke of that copy of ARMA2 is never going to get any use!

yea, really. because: i tried arma2, and i really, really didnt like it. (controls, graphics, etc.. just sucked..) so, i dont really care for the mod either, i don't expect it to be fun when the base game is horrible like that. also, i don't really care for vietnam. it looked nice, but its nothing i am really waiting for. so, as far as i am concerned, dropping those projects would be good news for me, as that would free up resources for other things.

i am not sure yet what to think of PR2.

the bf2 mod is great as it is, it doesnt really need much more development. only thing that sucks are the mortars, but somehow i don't think theyll change them; everything else is fine. new stuff is always nice, but not really *needed*

but what i really hoped for since i saw the first bf3 gameplay footage, was to combine that game with PR teamplay/gameplay. so, having reality studios working on bf3, implementing at least some of their ideas right at the roots of bf3 instead of "just" a mod, would be great news for me. although of course, i'd be fine with a pr:bf3 mod as well - depends on their level of involvement, which approach might end up better.

i did not think of the other way around, dice/ea influencing pr2, but as already stated, i'm currently not sure what to think about pr2 anyways..

Probably just April Fools... However, if this is true, I will be sad yet happy!
Sad because work on this awesome modification would cease.
Happy because you guys deserve to get the support of DICE and EA! You have really earned it!

I got all the way to PR: Arma2 being cancelled before I realized what day it was.

You win this time...

Why would EA "acquire" Black Sand Studios (yeah, typo by DEV :D ) in the first place?

Then you would have mentioned all the other mods (non-BF2) that BSS is working on.

+EA can take PR Mod whenever they want, can't they?

"This is the End, my lonely friend, the end."

It looks like RealityMod.com will be going down soon guys. I just talked to [R-DEV] PRBot and he said he loves me and they are going to put him down.

What did PRBot do to deserve this!

Only way this could be funnier was if it was - wait for it - Activision-Blizzard buying out BIS!
