Over the past two years, we’ve reported on a fan-made Battlefield 3 mod that gives gamers a more grounded, serious take on the franchise called the Battlefield 3 Reality Mod (as Battlefield vets can see, it is inspired by the Battlefield 2 mod Project Reality). Today, we have some good news, as not only do we have a new trailer, but the dev team has announced Battlefield 3 Reality Mod release is now set for July 17!

Players will need to own Battlefield 3’s base game and all of the DLC on PC in order to check this mod out, but given how cheap that is nowadays, I say it’s worth a plunge! If you ever wanted a more Arma take on Battlefield, or perhaps a Battlefield game with Rainbow Six-like gunplay, then this might be just what the doctor ordered!

Battlefield 3 Reality Mod Release Date Trailer:

7 years of development, more than 80 contributors. What we have achieved is absolute madness! We are super stoked to finally be releasing BF3: Reality Mod on the 17th of July!
