The Point of Existence 2 (http://www.pointofexistence.com/) mod team is back today with their latest news as they get closer and closer to their first release for Battlefield 2. Here's what they had to say:
Things are going pretty well with the build. The Developers sat down and had a meeting with the stress testers and decided to move forward with making some changes to the RC build of POE:2. The new changes will be released to the stress testers within the next day or two and we’ll see how things are from their test sessions.
Since the stress testers consist of Battlefield:2 community website representatives we have given them the green light to post previews of our game. In today’s news we will highlight a few that have taken the time to write them up.
Please visit their websites to see numerous more screenshots that are not shown in our news.

Just to make things a little more clearer,
There is nothing from Stock BF:2 in PoE:2 besides a few military/Industry type statics.
So that should answer most of the "BF2 Weapon Accurecy" questions.
Cant wait to cya all on the Battlefields!

bye bye BF2, HELLO POE2
very nice update
So will 1.4 effect POE's first release? Dice allways seems to have that problem.

Lets try to be civilized here, Dice and EA did a great job on giving us all a great platform to mod.
Lets not forget, without BF:2 you would not have PoE:2.

With the exception of the MI-17, rpk, and svd right?

Heh, he wasn't talking literally.
You will find the majority of the stuff in POE is completely new, with a few exceptions.
Custom sounds, music, voices, models, skins, statics, code
And this is just our first release ;)

You haven't got the slightest idea what kind of work is involved in a project of this magnitude. We will release it when it's ready to be released.

How did you guys get german/ukranian voices (ie: enemy boat spotted in german/ukrainian) do you guys hire actors?
Same with guns sounds, you guys actually have to get every gun, put a mic near it and fire? I dunno, it just seems really.....alot of work. Unless there's something else you do, but i'm just intruiged about how all this is done. Especially sounds, it's always been a mystery of how they get all the sounds for a game...even moreso for a mod that's being done for free.
Edit: Spelling mistakes in there i know, i'm more bothered to write this edit then correct them
POE team. How are the sounds in your lovely mod? I hate Bf2 sounds. I hope you guys do well in that department, cause to me, sounds is the most important thing.

How is it that people can be this good and not get paid is beyond me .
Its simple, they arent employed by anybody and are doing this for free, like every other MOD team out there. Lots of the guys on these teams are hoping for a gig out of this, kind of like the trauma DC merger I would guess.
The main problem seems to be that this is much like the music biz. There are tons of amazing artists out there that will never see that side of the coin. There just arent enough slots to give all the talented groups real contracts.
If enough people donwload and play this, maybe something like that could happen. I dont picture those kinds of numbers, but I do think this and a few other MODs will give BF2 a much longer shelf life, and hopefully put some life back into what has become a dreadfull tournament world.

They're using DICE's German (as in OPK) and their own for Russia/Ukraine.

Good to hear that the weapons have their own (hopefully much more accurate than BF2 weaposn) characteristics rather than being rehased BF2 weapon code.

I was just thinking the same thing. There are at least a half dozen great looking projects that I will have soon, and all FREE!!!
If that isnt enough to get you excited, then your just not one of us. :evil:

I gotta agree. So many of the mods are looking really great. I had the chance to play OPK for a short bit this weekend. I am very impressed with their work.
I am looking forward to POE2, Dcon, FH2, USI, ah hell, I shouldn't even try to list them all so I don't leave any mod out. Oh ya Rising Conflicts too. :D
=DNC=SYSEX73
08-15-2006, 09:15 PM
Rising is gonna kick ***, its my kind of combat, obviously, lol.
OPK is a killer MOD, so much content, great new stattics and maps, USI is back in Biz, its a good time. Now lets get those mod player numbers up!!!
