Too lazy to edit it in and select the most relevant entries but for 0.8 straight from my manual:

3 new game modes: Command & Control, Skirmish and Training
Critically wounded soldiers can be revived for up to two minutes. They can use
the “Give up” button on the Caps-Lock map to opt out of waiting for a medic
Medics can now resuscitate downed soldiers which untangles them from the
ground. This is useful to make sure the epipen will do it's job
Insurgents can build hideouts to spawn at
Regular armies and the militia can deploy a heavy machine gun emplacement
The spotting system has been overhauled. Automatic spotting is practically
gone. Squad leaders can send a contact report to the commander. The
commander can confirm those reports and place markers on the map to warn
the rest of the team
Artillery and mortars have been added to the list of possible area attacks
Pistols & SMGs do not suppress other players. Shots also need to travel some
distance before they have a suppression effect
Weapons need to be reloaded manually
Bunkers & Fire bases do not resupply soldiers and vehicles anymore
Deployable assets can be placed without permission if no commander is on
the team
Rally points can be placed anywhere. They are overrun and destroyed if 3
enemies get close to them or if 6 squad members die in their vincinity
Grenade launchers need to be fired at targets at least 30-40m from the
shooter or the grenade will not detonate
All factions have a command post which is enterable by the commander. The
commander can only use his map while inside the post.
The enemy tickets are not displayed
The main gun in any armored vehicle has a 30s usage delay
Soldiers start to bleed out when their health drops below 75%
Civilian collaborators will always respawn after 2 minutes regardless of how
they died
Insurgents can be arrested using the restrainer or the shotgun
Insurgents need to defend at least 3 out of 12 weapons caches
Capturing a control point takes at least 3 men
Limited kits have been reduced in number and are only reallocated every 10
minutes
Light machine guns can be used in deployed and undeployed modes. When
deployed they can only be fired while prone but are very accurate
Deploying bunkers & fire bases does require 2 supply crates. A supply truck is
not needed. Other assets just need to be build close enough to a forward
outpost and do not require any supplies

I joined in 0.2 days, just after the release, first release I was [R-DEV] for was 0.25, first release I was lead for was 0.3.

I still have the PM conversations from the mod leads at the time who were considering packing the project in hehe. I asked if I could take over as lead for v0.3 to see if we could turn it around

I developed AAS for a bunch of community made maps for PRMM v0.2. I got permissions from the map authors to use them for PR. Some of those maps made it into PR v0.25 which was released after I joined the team. Most of them were not suited to PR, but I hated the vBF2 maps. The main thing that I learned from that excercise was stuff people were adamant would not work, actually turned out to work very well (large cap radii, very long cap times, etc).

For 0.25 after I joined the team as an R-DEV I lost my mind because there was no code repository hehe. Myself and TheRealFritz got a code repo set up for v0.3 development just after v0.25 released. That was hosted at CVSDude, then we moved it to a GloryHoundz server for.. I think v0.4 (the size of the mod got so large that our hosting costs at CVSDude got close to $200 / month which I was covering out of my own pocket).

I think v0.2 was the last release where the mod folder was version specific. Meaning it was called "prmm_01" and "prmm_02". For v0.25 I think we changed it to be just "pr". That was important because it allowed things like Game Monitor to see "pr" as a single mod, whereas prmm_02 was - as far as game monitor was concerned - a completely different mod.

The code repository was a really critical juncture for PR imo. We greatly simplfied the process to get relesaes done and standardized a lot about how we could conduct concurrent testing of builds while still allowing public play to a tester's existing PR install. We would have "pr" as the normal publicly released build, but then have "pr_0305" as the 5th test build in the 0.3 dev cycle. This made it so we could easily have multiple builds in testing and public release without screwing up players / testers.

By the time v0.4 rolled around the build process was mostly scripted and for v0.7 the build scripts were completely re-written to almost totally automate the process.

But it was an important process and supporting tools in allowing PR to release early and release often .. listening to community feedback, then addressing it in upcoming releases.

Also for v0.3 that was when we started to track PR player populations. Fritz set up a brilliant system where we could track the history of PR concurrent player populations. I was insatiable for data about how releases were doing and we've been tracking player populations ever since.

This really helps us evaluate when people are saying "j00 kilt teh PR" because their favorite sniper rifle was removed or the like. We have always evaluated quantitaviely:
- are people playing it?
... and qualitatively:
- do we like playing it?




Anyways.. um.. this started out as "I joined as R-DEV in 0.25" hehe. Or um.. in January 2006 iirc.

[sofad]

i startet working for PR in 06/2006 as a R-CON with recording the british grunt voicesamples.
since 07 or 08/2006 i got R-DEV and started the massive sound overhaul beginning in V0.4

The history of Project Reality

[Deadfast]

1.) When was Muttrah v1 removed?

v0.6 IIRC

2.) When where the forklifts removed?

I'm fairly sure they were in v0.8's Muttrah.

[(HUN)Rud3bwoy]

I think the map "Airport" featuring British para vs MEC is also retired.

First joined: v0.5, first map: original Muttrah. I just wanted to look what map is played the most and draw conclusions from that gameplay to be the worst(like strike at karkand in vBF2), but it was not bad. After that I tried Al Basrah(with the cobras and A10s still there ) and thats what got me hooked. I remember that supply drops were still in the game, though it took them 10 minutes to hit the ground . I also remember the leet specop kit on all sides, the apc/SL spawn(the apcs were like clown trucks back then ).
Ahh, good memories.
Keep up with the good work Devs

[Bigglestheman]

When was the US Army introduced? I see weapons and vehicles introduced, but I don't see the faction.

Anyways, beautiful. Brought a tear to my eye....s.

Haha yeah my favorite faction right there. Except there are no tear's just me wanting to kill more Ivan's in Silent eagle(god I love that map). Started playing in I think March got hooked to the game it's fun and the map's are a lot better than what BF2 had. You guy's have came a long way from looking at that list let's hope it gets a hell of a lot longer.

[CPU]

I (well, the entire TC Clan) joined in 2.x with [R-Dev]Rhino. Boy what a relevation it was, we'd been playing vBF for a long time but we all felt a little "reality" was what was needed. The first map I played PR on was 'Rolling Thunder' (all the early maps were vBF maps) and the strange bug it had where you could crawl across the waterfall itself at the dam. And then Rhino brought out PR map 'Muttrah 1' and I still vividly remember us taking that first flight down main in the LB, it was like OMG

I was there for the never-ending Beta testing, the numerous wars, as well as the thriving clan battles. It was never a problem to fill a 64 slot server back then

Looking back at the retired map list (I remember them all) that sure brings back a lot of good memories, shame so many got the chop in the name of progress

I did put up some videos from the "old" days, nothing special, but may be of interest to those with a liking for old history ( type this into google " cpuuk project reality site:youtube.com " )

I don't play PR any more since I moved to 64bit Win7 which PR didn't work with, although BF2 did O_o

Look forward to what you guys do next

[Rhino]

hey cpu, long time no see

PR works fine on Win7 x64, but if your having problems its nothing that can't be fixed.

I think that's the topic for getting it to work, but if not you should be able to find it somewhere in here: PR:BF2 Support - Project Reality Forums

[Figisaacnewton]

Damn it's been a while. I wonder how hard it would be to include a list of all the beta testers hahah.

But yeah if anybody cares, I started playing PR when 0.2 came out, I think because solodude from Desert Combat Realism (BF42) told me about it.

Played a lot, eventually got inducted into the beta team and beta-tested a lot. I remember fighting through the streets of Iran to rescue a downed pilot, being one of the first to try to storm the hills of Hamgyong, and finding that weird glitch in the python that broke the squad specific weapons whenever someone's name included a non alphanumeric character. I remember tap dancing in the helicopter on Ghost Train, and shooting the hell out of Basrah as an Insurgent and a Brit for the promo video. Tested through version 6 and into the beginnings of 0.7

But, come Fall 2007, classes at the University of Washington commanded my attention so I couldn't really beta anymore. I suppose if I can't find a job outta college I'll be free to beta-test some more haha! It's awesome to look back and find this place still vibrant and growing. Proud to have history here!

Oh man suuuuuch good memories. A time where PR was far less serious. It was a great game, but in a totally different way to what it is now. PR now is to PRMM what PRMM was to BF2 imo. Just that next step . People have often said I have rose tinted glasses on when I harp on about how awesome the *good old days* were but watching those videos brings it all back.

Oh and by the way, PR definitely works with W7 64bit.

[=]H[= Apollo]

Can 0.96 and 0.97 be added to the OP's post?

[40mmrain]

nice compilation. I started playing at 0.85, and it was pretty similar to what we play today. IT used to be really different from what I can see..

Why so many retired maps? surely some of them are still playable for AAS or insurgency?

[dtacs]

None of them meet the PR development standard or are more attuned to previous iterations of PR. Ejod Desert for example was too simplistic and lacked depth. It worked originally, but when tanks, APC's and TOW Humvees were added the map proved to be too small and not up to the standard of other maps.

Theres alot of debate over maps such as Ghost Train which could be bought back in, however 1KM maps (OGT, Fallujah, Tad Sae size) are gradually being phased out because 2 and 4KM maps give larger, near infinite replay value which is very apt.

[Almost]

Man, I remember playing the very first release of this game....and then the first tourny with Ol' Gaz as my Squad Lead....those were the days...Lol.

I knew I could find it....Lol.

I feel like there was nothing wrong with OGT that can't be fixed with a little Muttrah City treatment. Meaning, just make it bigger, keep the idea the same, and streamline for the modern game and come out with a 'version 2'.

I will say that there is something particular to OGT that is now missing in PR now. Everything is so desert or urban oriented, I miss the jungle. Everyone talks about how hard it is to see players' kits at range, or they used to, in OGT a good player could hide from you 5 meters away. Squad ops in the jungle are my favourite PR memory. Never did I ever experience so much panic at not being able to identify the location of fire. Get two full squads firing at each other it might as well be some image of the Civil War in the Wilderness.

Maybe I loved OGT so much because I started playing around .7 when Deviation was pwning everyone's ability to kill stuff and in the jungle you were always right on top of them so it didn't matter as much.

[AFsoccer]

The issue is performance. Making a realistic looking jungle on anything larger than 1km is very difficult without lagging everyone out.
