Project Reality Forums

If this is true, it's awesome! PR really need to focus on future engines and not the "kind of out dated" ones that they're working on today.

If it's not true, too bad...

That was one of the best april fools jokes since we pretended the house was falling down over here...

But in all seriousness, if its real, then ill basically go into online suicide, and sell all of my games, I couldnt handle this!

Wow this is some interesting news! I always wondered if the PR Team was going to get picked up some day since their work has often surpassed DICE when it came to modifications, tweaks and awesome content. It also makes me feel good that PR or something like PR may exist with the Frostbite2 engine within BF3. The one thing that always made me happy about PR was the realism in both vehicles and on foot, the restrictions such as SL points and class restrictions and things like the fire bases and other deployable objects such as sandbags, razor wire etc. I am absolutely looking forward to PR2 and what it may entail especially with the Frostbite2 engine.

I wish you and your team the best of luck and while I have not been in the community for a while, I do plan on rejoining the FPS world with BF3. So I greatly look forward to any future projects by the PR Team or whatever your official title will be within DICE and EA.

Cheers and well done!

P.S. And to cover all my bases... If this is an April Fools joke, you're a day early (March 31st) and it also kind of sucks because I was really looking forward to a PR type game using FrostBite2. It would have been pretty kick ***.

As said, Its not 31st anymore in Australia.

God damnit, don't torture us like this.

Tell us if this is true or not.

Hah, almost got me

Joke or not a joke, I hope PR will always keep its own very unique spirit instead of getting influenced by commercial companies like EA.

so this is april fools but there may some things hidden...

Remaining Project Reality: BF2 developers will be working on the next and final version to this long running modification, v0.96. This version will contain mostly bugfixes and some performance tweaks, as well as a few new assets for everyone to put to good use on the battlefield. It will not contain any new community factions, Vietnam, or 128 player support, as unfortunately this requires far too much work with the now small and limited team. Some may be confused as to why we do not call this final version v1.0, but as we have always said when asked, 1.0 is just a number, and we do not believe that it represents anything that previous version numbers have not.

so next version is 1.0!!!it contains few new assets,new faction,VIETNAM,128 support!

Unfortunately, Project Reality: ARMA 2 is now cancelled. The work already done on what was a promising modification will instead be used as an internal testing tool for features in Battlefield 3 and Project Reality 2. We would like to thank Bohemia Interactive for their excellent support, and implementation of requested features. Although we will now not be using these added features, we hope that other modifications can benefit instead.

SO ARMA2 PROJECT REALITY GETS SOON RELEASED!!!

Project Reality 2 is still going ahead! Members from the ARMA 2 team, and BF2 team once work is complete on v0.96, will be joining the PR2 team to give it a massive boost in manpower. As well as this, veteran developers from Electronic Arts will be joining the team to offer skills and advice for this ambitious project. More news regarding this transition will be announced in the next few weeks, but needless to say, this has massively reduced the length of time required to complete an initial release.

also this means that there is news coming about PR2...maybe pictures,VIDEOS!!!

Best april fools joke ever... or is it?
If it's true I'm really excited.
If it's false I'm also really excited.

If the first part is true and the second part is false: EXCITEMENT OVERFLOW!
There is no other scenario.....

P.S: Thank you everyone for the extremely hilarious comments.
No matter what the case is, this has surely made my day.

i dont want PR:BF2 to stop evolving. i walked every tough road with it from 0.1 to now. it mustn't dieeeeeee!!!!!!!

ACE team mentions this as well.

hmm... it must be the first of april already in Australia...

I must admit that you had me untill 2/3 of the text!

Acquisition of Reality Studios by EA Games = Epic Fail = You guys sold your souls

EA Games killed the best games ever made: DAOC, Dragon Age, ME, ...
A black day for us. EA will make you to mainstream coder to produce the most amount of money the can get and this will not be PR gamingstyle, this will be CoD style.

But realy good guys, you made it ! The money is floating.

(Btw. A.C.E was a to havy and complex mod/competitors for ArmA2, unbeatable for you PR guys.)

not funny
