The Project Reality Team is proud to announce the official release of Project Reality: BF2 v1.6! We would like to start with a major thank you for the ongoing support and feedback through all these years. We are now in PR:BF2's 16th year of development, that is no small feat. Today, Project Reality: BF2 is a free-to-play & standalone online game, with an emphasis on realistic combat environments, teamwork and cooperation with 50v50 servers. The development cycle for v1.6 was long and difficult, but it is your support that keeps us going! Today we are excited to launch our 39th major update.

sounds absolutely amazing. thank you for your ongoing work through the years.
would it be possible to add the "drag wounded" ability to everyone?
usually we kept the medic out of the firelines whenever possible.
Have been waiting for this for years! This is literally Forgotten Hope 3! So hype!
Congrats guys! Almost can't believe the day has come! Downloading now, but ouch download speeds will be slow for the next few days until people seed.
Going to try seeding myself to help out.
