What could be added to Project Reality if it required the Special Forces expansion?

I was just wondering about it. Actually, the Project Reality mod needs only the BF2 game with last patch. What could be brought or used in PR if it used the Special Forces expansion too?
Now I have a question for the gamers here. Would you buy the BF2 expansion to play PR ? It costs now US$29.99 (after a quick search at google).
It came to my mind after reading about a mod called House of Pain and you need the expansion pack to play it. Take a look at 2 vids I found on youtube

I had no intention to cause any flame here, just asking if it would be good, bad or would make any difference for the PR development.

It is free with the 1.50 patch.

I thought that the free stuff were only the boost-packs!

PR already uses a fair few items from Special Forces

The grappling hooks are from SF.

Apparently some DICE guy allowed them to use some Special Forces content at some point. Grappling hooks, possibly a few statics, flashbangs, night vision etc. (some of which is currently not ingame).

PR has permission to use things from SF.

No, it's not. You only get Euro Force and Armored Fury with 1.5.

The stuff featured in the house of pain mod I think can only be done with SF installed.
I think it uses something to do with its shaders or something to give better glows to the tracers, the tracer effect is rather awesome (not the muzzleflash stuff thats meh)
All the nice huds etc are all doable in BF2 afaik, Combined Arms uses several of the techniques.

When PR uses an object weapon or vehicle from Speacial Forces they just load it into there own files so that the SF EP isn't required. This is easily done as long as you have permission.

That tracer effect is pretty cool, but not worth losing players over.

Yeah... I don't think it's necessary
There would be a loss in players

Yes, PR uses some assets included in the Special Forces pack; this was okay'd by a chap at Dice.
Does that mean everyone has to have BFSF installed? No, because we include the relevant assets in the PR install; just like you don't have to download assets we're using that have been borrowed from USI, for example.

I recently bought a spare VBF2 compilation disc (with EF/AF/SF) from Amazon UK only £8.50!
Just in case....

does this mean we can use their tracers as well or are they no different?
