COH: Europe In Ruins

I saw a post for the empires mod, and if you want something that is realistic, check out project reality (www.realitymod.com) I am a dev (retired) from over there. And CoH inspired a lot of ideas that we put into PR. It's a modern combat FPS, that has RTS elements. Each team can have a commander who helps build outposts, AA guns, razor wire, and sand bags. The team is broken up into squads, and each squad has a SL who sets up rally points which allows you to spawn in on them. The is A LOT to this mod, huge maps, use of close air support with your team members, realistic ballistics, tons and tons of other stuff.

If you like FPS, and you like vehicles, but hate how unrealistic and dumb BF2142 or BF2 can be check out this mod, it's amazing. We also won some moddb awards and some other awards too.

I'm going to look around for the most recent videos/trailers we have, I sadly don't think we have any for our last release (.75).

This is a video of a bomb that you only see once and a while (an hour into battle I think)

Here is our trailer for our .6 release.

The mod has the best sound effects I've heard in any game. If you got any questions about it I can answer.

Yea I've been playing it since .4 and its great. I love to play the insurgency gamemode and I'm thinking about getting .75 for the new insurgency map.

Yeah great mod, I am a constant player, and let me tell you that if you like realism, teamwork, cool vehicles and great sounds and you own BF2 then it is a no brainer to d/l this mod. If you can get working with a great squad you will have games that will leave you feeling tired, and like you just got done fighting a real war.

On a side note: If you want a WWII COH-like BF2 experience you can check out Forgottenhope 2 a WWII mod for BF2, and a great one. Google Forgotten Hope 2 (FH2) to find the website, it isn't forgottenhope2.com

I've played PR before, and I can say that I've loved the command assets. However, the levels are just too freakin' big. It takes more than 20 minutes on foot to cross each of the levels.

For a while, I liked it, but I became annoyed by the NECESSITY of vehicles and their infrequent respawning.

On another note, it IS realistic as hell, almost as much as Insurgency (A Hl2 Mod designed by a soldier who returned from Iraq), and the vehicle combat is fun. It's also nice to corner a squad and mow them all down with a machine gun. The only problem is when YOU die and have to wait 30 seconds to get back in, and then 5-20 minutes to get into combat again.

You should play RO on one of those new beta Tank Map (Altie Zeglei), it a HUGE map and I find myself in fights from about 500m~1000m and it isn't fun when you basically get oneshotted by an IS-2 or a Tiger/Panther and have to roll back there in a slow tank.

For those of you interested, here are some things to help you get started.

hmmm seems cool anyone up for a game later?

Put your game names up and what server you frequent.

I usually play tactical gamer server, or tactics and teamwork.

I used to play this on a competetive level with a 'realism" clan.
They moved to ArmA but I never followed.

Use a T34. I've killed two Panthers, a Tiger, and a P4 with one once before going down. They're pretty much the best tank in the game.

Yeah, a T-34 is especially good on that map since it is basically the fastest tank in-game and has a decent punch to come along with it..

FH2 > RO.

FH2 >> RO

I've played my fair share of PR and FH2 both are great games.
I always seem to become an engineer squad leader since noone else ever builds things for the commander

I haven't played FH2 yet, I know PR and FH2 have shared some resources. I am going to go DL FH2 right now, I waited so long for it, then purposely forgot about it so I wouldn't be tortured thinking about it.

i am officially addicted to the project reality mod, love the realism and the teamwork better than FH2. Almost missed worked today cause of it lol

Unknown- ive an awesome download location that u can get it in 20mins if thats an incentive to get back into it

Goddamn saint, don't get me into this ;).

You gotta get into vent, I need a good FPS teammate that understands teamwork, unlike Apex haha.

If you want to have good tactics join Tactical Gamer---Tactics and Teamwork---Texas Teamplayers can have its good moments---and if you speak some German Thors Brigade is a good one, but knowing German is important. If you are in one of the first 3 servers you can look for my squad "VOIP Body".

lol remember apex in FH2. hang on ill get a stuka and support u guys. meanwhile we fight waves of tanks on the ground, no sight of apex

did any of the FH2 people play in the Forgotten Honor Tournament ???

PR looks good :) dl'n it now.

The file is too big, i'll dl it tommorow or so (current version is too old)

Darkest hour 1944 is what im looking forward to, Eastern front is just getting a bit boring. But yeah PR is really good if you play on servers that are really dedicated to team work (Tactical Gamer) which is one of the best.

It is really fun. The only reason I quit was because I hate the African Campaign.

Forgotten Honor is gay. It was started by the annoying asses that got banned from WaW. WaW is the way to go.

I used to play PR back in the day, havent played it for a long time...actually dont even know where my BF2 cd's are right now.  Cant remember the release I played last, might have to reinstall BF2 if I can find the discs and give it a run again.

The newest release had modified iron sights, added in an annoing blur "suppression effect" and the Huey chopper for the USMC. Along with 2 new maps. But for the total list of all the cool things from previous releases go check www.realitymod.com.

Hey i always wanted a fps with suppresion effect, in most fps your a target beacon if your on a mg. Soldiers tryed to do it with the ppl how have a good amount of bullets hitting around them, woud have less aim, but it didnt work out.

well, the guys at forgotten hope 2 were able to do it... not with aiming per se, but you get a tiny "tear gas" effect for every bullet that lands close. It adds up when you're under fire from an MG, and you really ARE suppressed.

Too bad the african campaign is no fun, I'm eagerly awaiting normandy...

Did the PR mod do anything to fix BF2's awful hitboxes?

I had a bunch of friends who enjoyed the BF2 demo a ton, but the hitboxes kept them from wanting to buy the game (having to aim behind people to hit them and half of the shots not registering on stationary targets?)

The guns behave very realistically. you aim for the head, you will shoot the head. The problem with vBF2 is that all the weapons had these retarded deviations, so even if you aim at the head, the deviation would throw off your shot. But in PR you can't just aim and shoot, you have to sit there for a few seconds like you would in real life.

Riki is correct. However they have added a "stabalization" period. If you get done sprinting and begin shooting you will be way off target but if you stay still for like 2 secs your shots will be more accurate.

Unknown and i are gonna give it go, anyone wanna do some real infantry tactics pm us

No rambo's ;).

Been playing this since September. It one of the best mods I've played and there is great teamwork,most people have mics and work together. :)

Anyone who wants a game,feel free to ask on Ventrilo(LekyIRL)

BUMP.
Let's play a game tonight, Saint, Apex & everyone else who has this :).

For everyone that wants to dll: you'll need 2 files:

what time ??? i'm in FL.

Is this game playable with a cracked BF2?

Warez ban!

Think; You cant play online with a cracked bf2, prject reality is a online mod...

i thought BF2 was only online?!

bf2 fails with all battlefield games with the sp bots that would run into a tank to kill them selfs...or group to together and stand next to the other team bots firing into the air ...best AI since 91'

Excuse me for livin'...I have Faces of War cracked and I play that online.

it depends what CD protection the company has set up... Sins of a solar empire has non for example.

I'm from a PR gaming clan called I'm Going In .:iGi:. PR is a great mod and all the added features boost the game play and teamwork like no other game. It's definetly one to check out and cast the vBF2 assertions aside.

This is a very good mod. Apart from Red Orchestra, which is the most realistic concerning tank combat, this is the most realistic mod concerning infantry warfare.

Dude red orchesta doesent have;
crushing things with tanks, destroying single party (thread, gun), tank catching fire (ALL things that FoW - tank combat has)

I woud never call that realistic.
Also 1 man can use a tank nearly as good as a full crew :I

I had play a while at this map , nice done but i had never understood why all tank explode like WTF ?

when you drive a tank you never understand who killed you and how (Mine At weapon , air missile )
you just see BOOM

I love tank combat in RO.

You think tank crew in RL instnatly know where it came from??

I wish I could play with you guys but I'm at my rents house for a week, my grandfather is out here visiting.

Oh man.  I just got BF2 last week and got Forgotten Hope 2 and Project Reality.  I have to say, PR is amazing especially if you have a good squad.  Any of the rest of you play PR?  If so, we should all play sometime.

I play PR.I think Saint,Apex and Unkown do as well(or at least I had a game with them once). Can't play at the moment because I had to reinstall Vista and my BF2 cd is cracked.

I am not willing to play 20 bucks for a game that old ...

*pay...

Borrow it from a friend and then get a mini image/Daemon tools ;)

That's what I'm doing.

u should get a game with us kolath and watch apex charge tanks with an mg

Hahaha!  Definitely.  Also, for folks who don't have it, BF2 is on sale at Best Buy for $10 in the states.

6 euros!

sigh i'd have to reinstall it.. but well... waiting for 2.0 gotta do something!

I played it a while too but often found myself lacking because I have no mic.

Yeah mic is pretty key.  You should really just go out and buy a mic.  You can probably get a functional stand-alone boom mic suitable for gaming for <$30.  I know the one I use is one I canabalized from my little sister's virtual pet game Catz 3 like 4 years ago and it works great.

Go get a mic man! Not only will it help you in FH2 and PR, but also here as well!

Maybe we should have a PR day as well as a FH2 day, or simply some way to get a group of us together to play one of those  ;D

Yes I concur.  I am in favor of any events that combine fun games (regardless of game) with community building.  This is especially the case as we wait for 2.0.

just come on vent were usually playing something

CoD4 bitches!!

COD 4 is unrealistic

If you want realism lets go play ARMA, you won't even see an enemy for 3 hours as you walk a patrol, then later you get to simulate some sleeping and showering. The next day we do it again.

Project reality takes realism to the next level without damaging gameplay, it's amazing. And it plays a lot better than ARMA imho. CoD 4, even on hardcore is arcadish & hardly tactical.

Don't get me wrong, I like both, CoD 4 offers some great fast-paced mindless action for 30 minutes or so (that's when I get bored of it), it's perfect to kill some time. PR on the other hand is a lot more in-depth, you can keep playing for hours and it's the perfect mix between fast-paced/arcadish action and realistic gameplay.

CoD 4 fails on so many levels for me. It's just like counter strike to me, no real skills other then twitch reflexes. As unknown says it's alright for about 30 minutes, then it's just too boring. I get fed up with guys spawning 2 feet behind of me after i kill them, really ruins gameplay for me.

Not to toot my horn, but PR really is a perfect balance between realism and arcade shooter. You play and look at the clock and hours have gone by. It always feels exciting no matter what you are doing because every action seems important, even when you are just defending waiting for an attack, because you know when it comes it'll come hard.

Never play CoD4 on DM or TDM if you want to have any fun.

Playing the objective based modes makes it so you don't spawn behind enemies.

i like this mod but

i wanna russia vs nato

:( not middle east asia , china

Even on HQ, imho one of the better gamemodes the spawns can be really annoying.
Sabotage/S&D is just a campfest like CS tbh.

I just play COD 4 if I don't have enough time for a longer game of PR/EiR


Russian is nearly finished and will be in 0.8

The 'rebels' or whatever they're called who fight the Brits speak russian.

They are chechnyan (i apologize for the butchering of spelling!) rebels. And as far as "allies" go PR is beetter then NATO, because instead of it being a single NATO force, it's brits, and soon to be US army and US marines.

The truth is that I actually have a mic, the problem is using it.
1) I get that cracky sound which I think may be because of my crappy sound card.
2) I sleep/game/live in the same room as my brother, who unlike me needs to study alot (only weekends though). Even then I have to be silent with my typing, since I tend to bash my keyboard when typing fast.

lol that sucks, I know how it is, like when i used to live with my parents and didn't have my own computer I used the one in the living/dining room. Anyways, tell your brother to go to the libary and study  ;D

Problem there:
He can't study downstairs, it's too loud with the customers and all,
all the other places don't have enough room for him to study in.
He occasionally studies outside at the dining room when noone else is upstairs, and even then I have homework too...
It's quite complicated really, but that's the main issue concerning microphone usage.

Oh I'm glad I live where I live....
Much better equipment by standard here. ;)

To PR: played it once, I have to admit running around shooting like an idiot works best on close maps as NO one EVER expects you to do just that.
On an other Note:
That mod fried my sound driver, and now I can't select X-FI as soundsupporter.
And only 96 bit sound anymore...  sucks.
Nice mod though.
Just too slow, insurgency is faster.

Not exactly BF2 PR, but a great BF2 vid:
