This news update was released on the 31st of March and everyone thought it was just an Aprils fools joke......... Personally speaking ive been waiting years for a realistic Nam mod/game to come out so for me this is gonna be great because I already know the awesome level of work that went into PR.

Wow, man, the PR team is just bleeding awesome. If you haven't played their BF2 Project Reality mod, I suggest you do that.

I'm rather excited about this one, thanks for the heads up.

I know man I cant wait and the devs are saying a first release is getting close already!! They are working with that Nam BF2 mod team I cant remember the name of the mod right now.

7.62 mm Full Metal Jacket.

2 of my fav Nam films of all time I used to watch these every weekend when I was younger.

Creepy awesome tune.

I really can't wait for this. I remember playing Eve of Destruction a little bit back and wondering how awesome it would be if it had the gameplay from Project Reality. Kudos to the Project Reality team.

This is great. I might have to reinstall bf2 for the millionth time.

I hope one day the PoE team gives their content to PR (germany + ukraine).

I might have a chubby.

Good Vietnam War history documentary series from the 1980s produced by liberal leaning American PBS: 'Vietnam: A Television History', based on the book, 'Vietnam: A History' by American journalist Stanley Karnow.

The 13 hour long series was originally broadcast in 1983; a few years later, the series was re-released in an eleven hour version:

YouTube - Viet Nam a Television History 1, The Roots of War 1

Second segment:

YouTube - Viet Nam A Television History 1, The Roots of War 2

I say that line all the time in BF2 while I'm playing with my buddies.

"Why don't you jump on the team and come in for the big win!"

 

[Uurastaja]

All kinds of awesome! I'd get BF2 just to play this.

 

[Shadrach]

Looks great, maybe time I'd get into PR (have to buy BF2 first). Maybe a bit too much focus on the hardware in that vid which is not all that interesting to me...

 

[Flogger23m]

This is for BF2 right?

I bought it, but never played it. Stupid punkbuster kicked me, too confusing to fix.

Maybe I will give it a try one of these days.

 

[Bluehawk]

I hate all mods for BF2, by virtue of being based on that engine, but I'll have to give this a try.

ditto.

You should try PR if you haven't already. There is a fantastic community if you like teamwork. The gameplay is very cool too.

you should get into PR in any case i recon, like bear says it's a good community and the teamwork is second to none.
You do occasionally have to put up with the odd English nutter who likes to add to the immersion by busting your balls when your not doing things by the numbers thou.

 

[NoxNoctum]

ditto.

You're missing out man. It's the most organized teamplay I've ever seen. About 90% of people playing have mics and use them. I recommend the Chicago Hardcore servers especially.

 

[dogbadger]

there's a bit of chat about this on the PR servers, as you'd except.

I have mixed feelings myself - yes I love what BSS has done and trust them to produce a great vietnam experience, one of if not my favourite real war setting.
However, with the team also venturing out onto the arma engine, i am wondering if they will be spreading their playerbase a bit thin.

Yes it's a popular mod - but even so the numbers aren't that substantial and they are mostly loyal regulars who play continuously anyway, and obviously can't populate 2 mods at once.

The question is how many ppl don't play Project reality because it's set in the modern day, and isn't historical?
Let's hope theres a fair few, and the experience also brings many of them to the modern PR, but i wouldn't say it's a given.

Although 0.9 was released recently, Project Reality hasn't been getting a lot of publicity. I think that when Vietnam is released, there'll be a surge of prospective players for both mods. I've also been trying to get people into Project Reality, and so far we have at least eight players who have really gotten into it.
