How do I get the custom maps?

PiLL has been kind enough to post the BF2 Map Packs (1, 2, and 3) on FileFront. Look for the links in the downloads section of the Home Page. When installing make sure the installer finds your BF2 program folder. Map Pack 1 has a problem finding it by default. If you want to download the maps individually I have posted the seperate map files here (http://www.digitalreactor.com/downloads/BF2/) . Just download, unzip the files to a folder, and then move the files to your BF2 installation. All custom maps should end up in you Battlefield2/Mods/BF2/Levels folder. *I am testing more maps not inlcuded in the big 3 map packs so be sure to download the maps files from the above link.

*Updated *
These maps are available for playing in normal BF2. These include maps from Map Packs 1, 2 and 3, along with other custom maps.

Operation Yellow Dragon
Stait of Hormuz
Strike at Karkand 2
Codename Valhalla
Mahoni Island
Operation Power Failure
Strike at Abu Dhabi
Mashtuur City
Berlin
Attack at Taiming
Uluwatu City
Insurgency on Alcatraz Island
Operation Black Hawk Down (*Non Map Pack Map)

The following Maps were removed form rotation as not being very playable for 16 players.

King of the Hill
Mekong River
Smyrna

We will try and have a Mod Server Night Wed. or Thurs. each week so be sure to join us. If anyone has any custom maps you want to see run on the server please post here.

Important:

Remember, you only gain RANK and UNLOCKS from playing on our Ranked Server. This server is for when we need a break and want to play with just our OSG squadmates.

Project Reality Mod

Anyone that has joined us for a POE2 night knows how fun the mod and maps can be. (maybe not all game modes though as we found out last night) For the first time in a long time there were 12-15 members in Vent chatting and laughing...and smack talking, without any of the edge that had started to come with vanilla BF2 nights. Now I am not suggesting we abandon our Ranked Server, we have too many other squads that join us regularly on it to miss out on the larger force on force action. (Actually looking forward to a round of 64 player Sharqui this weekend.)

With that said, I went back to a site of one of the mods that originally caught my attention PRMM (Project Reality Mini Mod). It released PRMM v.03 in May and has what seems to better alternate game modes.

http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/57/files2/46005_1t.jpg

Included in the new release are the following game modes:

a) Extraction (aka XTRACT) – In this original PR game mode, one team works to withdraw a high-tier VIP from one point to another (in his attractive and quite shiny SUV), to a designated extraction point. That team succeeds by reaching the target destination with the VIP, while the defending team scores points by destroying this VIP vehicle, and forcing heavy ticket bleeds on the attackers.

b) Single Objective Mode – In this game mode, one team seeks to destroy a particularly important asset of the enemy’s to succeed. It’s up to brute force, or possibly some stealthy special operations tactics, to win this game mode.

c) Advance and Secure – In this game mode, each team battles over a single flag at any given time. A team must capture that flag before moving on to the next designated flag. One should expect fierce battles erupting over those flags, with very concentrated action.

d) Conquest – The typical Battlefield 2 battle that you have all become accustomed to.

For more info check out the site: http://realitymod.com/prmm03.htm

I can see switching the Private Server back and forth from POE2 and PRMM every other week to keep things fresh a couple BF2 Mod nights each week.

Or you can try it from this mirro site posted on the PR web site:
