Just Want to Say...Fantastic Mod and Community

I'm relatively new here. I just found my way to Project Reality after owning Battlefield 2 for some time. I had moved away from Battlefield and got into ArmA and ArmA 2 recently. Both great games, but of course ArmA 2 is not optimized to it's fullest extent right now and it's hard to run on even a fantastic computer.

In reading some forums for America's Army 3, I heard about the Project Reality mod and began looking it up. I couldn't find my BF2 cd anymore, so I had to buy the game again, but it's definitely been worth it. I downloaded Project Reality and started playing to get a feel for the game. I'm still a relatively fresh "noob" but I love being on a squad with a good squad leader.

I have played a lot and learned a lot, I definitely know a lot more now than I did. There's still a lot I'm unsure about, but I've been learning as I go and have been in some successful squads and had a lot of fun. I had a great game today playing Russia and Chechnya, and it was great to be working with a squad trying to take the Estate. We fought multiple times for it, then they would come right back with an attack, our APC would roll in and lay down some serious fire, and it all just felt superb.

I thoroughly enjoy this game and just wanted to tell all of the Devs thanks. I'm a Software & Information Systems major at school and I have had to take some pretty hard programming courses, so I can definitely understand the sheer amount of work you guys had to put in to get this game working as well as it does. I remember all the code it took to get my blackjack game running in Java.

These forums are very informative and despite the couple of knuckleheads every place has, the community here seems good and fun to play with. I don't necessarily enjoy playing with somebody who thinks he is General Patton, but the game in general has a lot of great players who work as a team and have fun knowing it's still just a game.

Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks for building this and making BF2 a great game, this mod is excellent, and the community here is superb in my opinion.

Hope to see you guys on the battlefield.

Well said; the new reality games coming out may have more features or better graphics, but there is just something extremely unique about PR that no other game possesses.

Well ArmA2 is one of the best looking games I've ever seen. But when I'm reading about people with i7 Core's having problems running the game, then it still needs to be optimized. I enjoy it, but I have some serious slow downs that keep me from loving it.

With PR I can run everything maxed out and the game really looks pretty fantastic to me with everyone on high. The sounds are excellent and everything is great.

Wish we could get more players with the same attitude as that. The learning curve has been set to a high standard for this game but there are a few, like you, who are willing to learn and accept it.

Cya on the battlefield!

Thanks to all. I certainly will join your squad if I see you on.

Forgot to mention, I love how diverse the community is. Seems like everyone is from a different country, very cool.
