The votes have been counted, and the results are in! Out of 4,000 mods spanning across a variety of games and some 80,000 votes in total, Project Reality has received 2nd Place in the prestigious Mod DB "Mod of the Year 2007" competition. This is the second year running we have placed 2nd, a historical first in the 6 years Mod DB has been holding this competition. Only two mods from Battlefield 2 made it to the Top 5, the other being Forgotten Hope 2, who scored an impressive fourth place in the released category. We would like to extend our congratulations out to the Forgotten Hope 2 Team for their great finish. To see a video featuring all the winners from each category or simply see who finished where, head on over to Mod DB.
Xfire Project Reality Developer Chat
In other news, last month's Xfire chat event was a raging success with nearly a hundred users tuning in for a Q&A session with the developers lasting a little over an hour. An immense array of questions was asked, covering all aspects of the Project Reality Mod. For those of you that missed it, you can read the entire chat transcript over at Xfire here. Here is just a small sample of the action to be found:
Question: What can we expect in the new patch?
Answer: It's basically just bugfixes and gameplay fixes. There are lots of things that will be changed greatly improving the gameplay.
Question: When 0.8 rolls around will there be more open area combat or urban city combat?
Answer: v0.8 will have a large focus on maps, and yes there will be plenty more urban city combat.
Question: Have you found a solution for the M14 inaccuracy?
Answer: Yes, all DM/Sniper rifles have had their accuracy/deviation fixed.
Question: Are you planning on making more buildings where players can garrison troops? Are you planning on making more destructible buildings?
Answer: As far as enterable buildings...I have it from a good source (me) that there will be alot alot alot of enterable buildings in the next release.. One map in particular will have nearly a 100 percent enterable buildings.. players should be able to hide anywhere their little hearts desire..
As for destructibles. we have a fixed limit of 1024 objects which can contain network information per each level in bf2, so that is our fixed limit.
