This is kind of my baby and I think it's really special. What good dad doesn't?
It's an old game with mediocre graphics compared with some of the newer releases, but the gameplay on this is unlike anything you've ever played before. I guarantee it.
You will need the CD or DVD for Battlefield 2. At the very least, you will need a CD key. You can get a copy from Amazon for $8. You don't need the Special Forces, Euro Forces, or Armored Fury.

If you have never logged into BF2 before or you do not have an EA user account (i.e. for Bad Company 2), log into regular BF2 first, create an account and quit the game.
Now that you have created a profile, you can make your Clan tags the right way following these directions.

You can now start Project Reality from the executable icon. Get with me, Bigwill, Plaino, Cuba or some of the other PR veterans to start your indoctrination process.
READ THE MANUAL!!! It's about 35 pages with really big print and some pictures, but it is full of some really good information that you can use to kick some ass.
