The idea of making this mini-mod came to my mind back when I was playing a lot of Door Kickers. I figured that the high deviation and lack of sprint were harsh design choices, but it translated to a very coherent gameplay. An example of such is that the player is always second guessing where the enemy's location is before daring to expose himself. The player will struggle to take down two enemies simultaneously as turning towards the second target will potentially be a lost fight due to a spike in deviation and positional disadvantage. Therefore, when you're about to assault an area you need make sure your men will cover every angle of it through coordinaded efforts. This preemptive methodology on the field is crutial to engage the enemies both in numerical and tactical superiority.
My idea was to recreate this entire process in a PVP FPS.
The first major features were the removal of any sprint for a silent walk animation, the addition of a crosshair that moves according to the new deviation based on weapon movement rather than speed, and the addition of a GPS (on the HUD) that provides above ground view of the map layout.
To be able to predict where the enemy is going to be is an important feature in a tactical shooter. One of the features being explored is the implementation of a heartbeat sensor device, but until then (and because we're not sure if it's possible yet) we have added thermal vision to the squad leader binoculars.
Infantry Skirmish layers of Dovre and Dovre Winter got reworked to fit the mini-mod gameplay mechanics. Hopefully PRD will be able to add more close quarters oriented maps in the future.
If you want to play it first you need to download and install Project Reality Standalone, then download the mini-mod by clicking below and follow the installation instructions you'll find in the readme file. And in case you'd like to run your own dedicated server, you should find all the files required to do so below as well.

This is an excellent idea, i've been playing SWAT 4 in the past few days and it made me think how Project Reality has never really had the "everybody charge in covering every single possible flank to avoid casualties" aspect of urban pacification down.
Just wanna let you guys know I'm doing all I can to get at least one server up. Just keep checking everyday, at least one should get up and running really soon :D
fun mod but like the most random *** mod ever for pr....really dope tho :D
You managed to play a bit with some buddies?
This sounds cool. Love PR since it went standalone. Also love Door Kickers!
Interesting idea, however,I'd personally find that cross-hair really distracting. Perhaps it looks different in game?

Im sorry i know they are easy steps but i keep tryn and i get nothin´. Thanks for your time and GJ btw. Sorry for my stupidness :P
Hey man!
No prob I admit it's pretty tricky :p
First make sure you installed Project Reality and launched it at least once (Find it here: Realitymod.com )
Once it's done, go to your Project Reality folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Project Reality\Project Reality BF2\), open the PRD rar file (called 'Project Reality Deviation v0.1.0.1.rar'), select the folder 'mods', and the files 'PRBF2_d.exe', 'PRBF2_d_w32ded.exe', and paste them into the Project Reality BF2 folder you've just opened.
Next go back to the PRD rar file, select 'PR_D_SHORTCUT_EXAMPLE.lnk', and put it on your desk. Double-click this one to run the mini-mod :)
ok thank man, now it works fine! I hope more people can join a try it cuz it looks very good!
I have maxed out settings on an updated PR, followed the instructions, then the examples, then what worked for me for other mods, on multiple game modes.
This mod didn't work after any of it, anyone want to clarify how to get this to work?
