Project Reality is probably the least entertaining mod available for Battlefield 2.

Where to start with this game?
Jeeze laweeze what a mess!
1. Poor performance issues, even on lowest settings possible in comparison to vanilla BF2 without much of a noticeable difference in graphical quality.
2. Hyper-sensitive Helicopter controls with Joystick.
3. Unique bug to Project Reality where parked or landing/landed air vehicles do somersaults for no reason and explode immediately.
4. Q- Communication Rose can't seem to decide whether the message should be broadcast over a radio'd global chat, or local shout, or even a global shout (Voice of God!).
5. Being able to enter vehicles that require a crewman/pilot kit, but only seeing a black screen if aforementioned kit is not equipped. Then being killed by the flying spaghetti monster if you don't exit the vehicle. (Project Fantasy more-like!)
6. Not being able to ride as a passenger in a helicopter if you have a Pilot Kit. Killed Immediately by flying spaghetti monster.
7. Horribly anal and immature community that will kick for the following extremely simpleminded reasons:
7a. Not using mumble. (Would help if Pr Mumble automatically connected to the Mumble Server hosted by the PR server. Would also help if most of these servers that kick for not using mumble at least had the mumble information in the MOTD/anywhere in-game)
7b. Have someone lie about you. (e.g. Wasting assets, when not actually wasting assets.)
^^^^^^unique to HOG server^^^^^^
7c. Not using mumble. (I'm listing it again, because the only reason that mumble is even necessary is because the Communication Rose has been gimped beyond belief. The community also doesn't know how to type very well either. And I guess VOIP is too hard for them to figure out.)
8a. Getting hurt from a 6 foot fall.
8b. Dying immediately from an 8 foot fall. (I wasn't aware the military allowed people suffering from Brittle Bones Disease to serve)
Really, my complaints are few and they partially involve the servers who host, but so far - the only redeemable thing about having played PR are the people over at the =]H[= HARDCORE server. Coolguys who don't kick on command.
The scope of this mod and it's execution both add up to a gigantic 4 gigabyte headache of poor decisions.
(9. The fucking weird cryptic messages obviously written by someone with severe psychological problems that pop up while waiting for a map to load.
Some of the messages are informative, others are insightful, even more are obliviously obvious, but just a few are just brain-damage psychofucked.)
Aight, peace. Gonna go play a game that sucks considerably less. (Battlefield 2)
