hey guys, I'm new and have never owned BF2. I cannot find it on Amazon.ca, Steam or Origin. I checked and I cannot find a boxed version in my country (Canada). I'm really into tactical shooters and this game really looks great. Can anyone help me find a copy?

Cheers!

Main thing is you read PR manual because I lot of important game mechanics are described there and there is people online all the time. During EU peak times it might be even up to 300 to 400 players online. :smile:

Since you're in North America, the two most active servers are HOG and PRTA NA/1; make sure you check their forums first before jumping on so that you know the rules of the server and don't get in trouble for being new and not knowing the rules. Servers are populated most days from early morning to late night in NA times. Other than that, flood luck and have fun :) .

I suggest you watch some videos if you haven't already, to get an idea of how it works out while you wait for it to come. It can be faster than reading manuals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ii7SZD ... g&index=27

I wouldn't recommend watching Bluedrake videos if you want to learn how to properly play PR.

Have a go at Slorgs tutorial videos instead. Or search for "Project Reality Tutorial" on youtube, and help yourself.


Edit: @ comment below: You still need a legitimate key if you want to play online.

Why bother buying the game when EA decided to pull the plug?

Thanks guys, I'll check out the YouTube videos and such. I bought BF2 becasue I'm not downloading a torrent and risk getting a Virus from it, its was $19 so thats not too bad.

The video by slorgs is a bit out of date now with the installation process but the gameplay tips are still relevant.
