Hi, probably ridiculous questions but couldn't find the answers anywhere!
I've been looking at PR for a while now and it looks awesome, so i've unearthed my BF2 game and its installed.
I was wondering once PR is installed can I still play the original game?
Also to install the game is all do I just need to install Part 1,2 and 3 of the full client then i'm good to go? or is there more to it?
Thanks in advance

Make sure BF2 is fully patched to 1.5 and just install the three parts. You will also be asked if you want to install mumble which is our voice client, a lot of servers use it.
Installation guide here.
Mumble FAQ here.

first make sure BF2 is updated
remember
1 download and install 1.41 patch
2 download and isntall 1.5 patch
3 install PR
Also you can install as many mods as you want
I suggest you give Forgotten Hope 2 a try
good luck

You can have tons of mods installed and still be able to play BF2

Just been onto BF2, its a bit annoying that when you update the game you can only go on updated servers :/ available servers have dropped from about 60 to 7

does V1.5 have more servers than 1.41?

It should. All servers should be updated to 1.5, you can only play on servers with your same patch version.

And since u r from the UK (and not american, who have another timezone, makes it harder to play together), I recommend you to join a Clan/Community, like our amazing Invictus Clan in the Forgotten Honor Community, check
this and
this.

Tip: Before playing Project Reality, login to BF2 Vanilla if you haven't made an account and join a server before exiting to avoid a disconnection the first time you try to join a server (second time it's fine).
If you already have an account, then you should be fine.
If you need help on any problems, you can PM me.

Welcome to PR
Don't forget to set up Mumble and get familiar with it. It has become one of the most valuable things in PR, and everybody who wants to enjoy the full potential of PR is constantly using it.
I hope you will enjoy your stay

Fresh blood
Welcome, enjoy, and make sure you get the 1.0 mumble version, the one installed with your mod is the 0.5 (in the cases ive found)
