Battlefield 3 Reality Mod Releasing July 17

The mod has been in development for over seven years by more than 80 people.

The long-awaited Reality Mod for Battlefield 3 will finally be released. On July 17 the v0.1 release of the mod will bring some significant changes to the core Battlefield 3 gameplay.

The mod, which pulls inspiration from the popular Battlefield 2 Project Reality mod will add in new content like a day-night cycle, changes to how health works, a revamped medic system, and will include other changes to the gameplay and UI that will create "a more tactical and meaningful experience."

This first public release includes the following major features:

Adjusted game pace (movement / weapon-handling speed)
Gunplay (suppression / recoil / damage)
Adjusted gun / explosion sounds
Health and medic system (bleeding / bandaging / reviving)
Custom UI (main-menu / spawn-menu / map / comm-rose / HUD)
AAS game mode
5 modified and expanded vanilla maps
Two custom factions (USMC / Russian Army)
9 pre-fixed kits per faction
Modified vanilla vehicles (transport only)
Improved visuals (day-night cycle / weather)

As this is just the first public release of the mod, there are still many things in the mod's roadmap. Here is a look at what will be coming in the near future.
