Welcome to Project Reality: ARMA 2 (aka PR:ARMA2), a free to download game modification for the ARMA 2 retail Windows PC game. The main aim for PR:ARMA2 is to create a realistic and immersive modification for ARMA 2, which focuses on encouraging teamwork through game play. As with Project Reality's original conception on the Refractor 2 engine, at this stage PR:ARMA2 should be classed as a Mini-Mod; we have to start somewhere! Do not be fooled though, this release will by no means disappoint, due to the large number of high quality art assets already created by the Project Reality Team, and the considerable experience of the PR:ARMA2 Development Team on the Real Virtuality 3 engine!
Mod of the Year 2010 Players Choice - Upcoming Modification
Article Posted by Henley on Dec 23rd, 2010
Mod players of the world have spoken, and it seems that Half-Life 2 based mods have cleaned up this category. Considering the number of Half-Life 2 fans and developers, this may come as no surprise to many, but if you aren't one of the millions, push harder to help the mods you love get recognition in 2011. For now, lets acknowledge 2010's most anticipated, because love it or hate it every mod listed here deserves their place, and all promise to provide gamers with something memorable.
To qualify for the top 5, the mod must place higher than it has in previous years and must have had a significant update in 2010. Otherwise an honorable mention is given, which these teams have received:
It seems players this year absolutely love their Half-Life cannons with Opposing Force 2 no exception. Can we expect to see the continuation of Adrian Shephards story in 2011?
Is any explanation required? Without a SHADOW of a doubt, Black Mesa is the most hotly anticipated mod we have ever seen. The team may not update often, but when they do they stir up a frenzy and there is little doubt why. 2010 saw no release maybe just maybe 2011?
Just missing out placing again this year Stargate - Empire at War: Pegasus Chronicles has been on peoples mod wishlist for quite some time now. Will 2011 see a release? Or will they be up for another unreleased nomination?

Ivan's Secrets
is a singleplayer total conversion, focusing on horror, tactical shooting and exploration.It is set in the Aral Sea, now a dried up desert and features realistic and accurate locations. The player takes on the role of an investigative agent, sent into locate an aircraft that went missing 1 year before hand.

Cry of Fear
is a singleplayer modification of total conversion Half-Life which brings you the horror you've always been afraid of. It's all made exclusively by the developers. It also uses new gaming styles that you will rarely find in Half-Life mods, such as advanced cutscenes and other stuff that will be revealed at a later date.

Operation Black Mesa
is a total Source remake of Half Life: Opposing Force. Opposing Force is still an amazing game, although its not nearly as amazing as it was when it was released. Using the Source engine, the developers plan to recreate the Black Mesa research Facility as it was seen by Corporal Adrian Shephard of the H.E.C.U.

Dear Esther
is an award-winning, critically acclaimed, experimental first-person game. Built in the Source engine, it abandons traditional gameplay, leaving only a rich world soaked in atmosphere, and an abstract, poetic story to explore. Dear Esther was originally launched in 2008 and is currently being rebuilt by Robert Briscoe.

Project Reality: ArmA 2
will exist as a standalone modification. It will remain self contained, self developing and not rely on or use externally held add-ons from other sources where at all possible. What that means to the player is that it will be a 'one stop shop' as an installation package, with no requirement for additional multiple add on packs.

You are so derp.
Agree
(buried)
LOL! -44. :3 Everyone sure hates that comment.
(buried)
now -58 O.0
Good to see something other than an FPS in the list. Dear Esther was great and the updated version is looking to be outstanding.
Aren't they all FPSes?
Well there isn't much shooting, is there?
Dear Esther is FP, sure, but there is no shooting at all in it.
FPA? First Person Adventure?
FPNA!
First-Person-Narrative-Adventure!
Yay CoF
Not *twitch* even *twitch* a *twitch* mention *twitch* ?
Meh, there's always next year.
this time the modification will be so realitstic, u gonna die in real life if u get shot
God damnit you're getting as annoying as I am.
Oh, now developers will delay the release until next year's awards to become mod of the year ? Really, when is release?
They can release in January and still qualify for MOTY.
Sucks. A mod with 259 followers wins because there is no competition on ArmA 2 modding scene. Dear Esther loses because of other good mods on HL2.
But no can do of course, it's hard to create a completely fair competition.
Thing with that idea is that those are just followers on ModDB, which means virtually nothing ;)
Yes, it means something. It means all ArmA 2 players voted for this mod even if they they don't like it for the sake of ArmA 2. Am I wrong?
You are.
Indeed you are, Project Reality received a lot of bad press from the ArmA 2 playerbase on the BIS forums when it was announced that it would be standalone and not compatible with other mods.
The drama was unbelievable tbh. So no, not all ArmA 2 players will have voted for PR.
PR community? I guess you have no idea how many HL2 mods are there and how many people are following them.
Just because a game is widely used shouldn't effect the winner is all I'm saying. But that's unavoidable since ArmA is not for everyone and its fans are mostly hardcore.
To be fair it doesn't really matter because all of this, these awards are about who gets the most votes. and if the half life mods can't advertise well enough.. It's their problem. You can't just say that it's unfair just because a mod you like isn't in there.
nah it means the members of the current PR community who are excited and anticipating the A2 version but don't generally come on moddb voted.
That's what advertising is all about.
Damn we didnt made it this year again...but maybe next year with a release of Stargate - Empire at War: Pegasus Chronicles :)
atleast you where honorably mentioned
Yes this is pretty cool!
We are really pleased about this :)
Thanks Moddb Team!
Thanks for the honorable mention! We also want to thank you for all the support and suggestions, and our fan community has been keeping us alive for all these years! Keep tuned for our demo next month!
nice
Nice choice, players have spoken. ;)
Anyway, there are so awesome mods out there, here we have 5, maybe the 5 best mods. So you can see (again) what modders can do.
They can make a game better than it was originaly (imo Arma 2). Nice work.
Like always I watch the video before scrolling down to see the actual winner. Got to #2 and saw Dear Esther and found myself a bit confused but was not at all surprised to see Project Reality up there once again. Congrats too all the top 5 and keep modding alive!
Cry of Fear looks great
as does dear esther
off limits is missing from the list imo
wtf?! Half Life 2 mods?!
I think Earth Special Force is missing there...
Should've voted for it harder then shouldn't you pal
Can you teach me how to vote harder? It sounds kinky.
Sure does.
the votes are rigged what do u expect :/ and ESF dident get an Honorable mention so dont know what ur talking about :( Im not a massive fan of ESF but its seriously well made game kinda makes these games look bad no offense its deffinitly in its own league and bit too good for Mod db
Like as if World of warcraft was on Mod db the only reason it doesent win awards is becuase its too good and there for unfair if they include it
Cry of Fear & Dear Esther, wunderbar!
Cry of fear ftw

Boring FPSs everywhere.
You are boring.
If you think PR's an FPS like CoD, you might be mistaken. It is a completely different story. The difference between one FPS and another can be larger than the difference between a roleplaying game and a strategy game.
@Ahysates: Here we go, Nerd Rage of the Year 2010. Been waiting for this since January. It begins!
Because being an FPS makes a game boring, right?
how did black mesa source get the top upcoming mod if its been in "development" for almost 6 years?
