Point of Existence 2 Mod Update #75

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

There is a new update posted today over at the Point of Existence 2 (http://www.pointofexistence.com/) mod website. They are back with some tourny news as well as have featured our PoE:2 preview! Here's what they had to say:

We have been asked if there will be ladders/leagues that will be hosting POE:2 and we’ll begin by providing a few that have contacted us so far. Click on their links to find out more about them. The first one is a North American league and the other two are hosted in Europe.

- Stronger Than All (http://bf2.sta-league.org/)
- Gamez-Club (http://gamez-club.de/)
- Enemy Down (http://www.enemydown.co.uk/)

Please take the time to go over to Totalbf2.com (http://www.totalbf2.com) and read the preview (http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90783) done by HKSniper. He has done a great job with previewing our mod from an open mind. There are many photos and a video he created from game play that he participated in with our stress testers.

We have two maps to showcase that haven’t been shown. Both are designed by Illicitfilms when he wasn’t making our video’s for us. The first one is called Dnipro Sunrise and the second one is named Guardian.

D_Fast decided to create his first official Wallpaper this week. Some of the guys and the fans have been making some nice wallpapers for POE:2 lately. Don’t forget to check out our wallpapers as we’ll continue to post new ones as we receive them.

Must you be so cruel??? lol j/k looking great I cant wait...

[SneakyPete67]

"Just around the bend". yea! Maps look friggen interesting! Keep it coming!

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

Im glad you have some custom stattics mixed in with the BF2 ones in a balanced way. Otherwise, it just doesnt seem new. I want more buildings I can get inside of and go up floors, like in the great DC maps.

[imported_UH60BHPilot]

Alright, well I'm a newly converted POE fan (Used to not be intrested at all, or atleast like I am now), so sorry if this has been asked before. Are there any plans in later releases to include the American and Russian side of the story again? The cease fire falls apart and all out war in the desert erupts?

Anyways, on with the update. It looks great and the winter maps will defiantly provide a new feel to the combat.

[Kixfox]

FRIGGEN THE RIGGIN OF SHIGGIN!

Cmon guys, don't tease me this much. I want to play, now now now. :)

However, I am looking forward for the mod this much: <----->, that's much.. very much!

[thunder350]

Good work guys! :)

[imported_dfour]

Bring it on!!!!

[*FMJ*Power]

you guys teasing us for a reason?????? we need POE2!!!!!

[peepot]

which I almost can't believe because all the other bigtime mods seem so far away :cry:

[GMEM]

[5150 Joker]

Give us some maps like the ones found in Armored Fury please!

[*FMJ*Power]

Give us some maps like the ones found in Armored Fury please!


the maps included will be priceless works of art compared to whats in af, balanced and thought out and most of all playable!!!


i sure hope my E6700 comes before poe2, hehehe.

[General Tso]

[[PTG]Fusion]

Awesome stuff PoE!

[pharand]

I wonder how many maps will be available. Does anybody know?

[imported_Master Shake]

I am so looking forward to POE, and if Operation Peacekeeper is any indication of where these mods are going we are all going to be playing for a long time.

[Mekstizzle]

Yes. Check out the storyline here:

So it's "evil soviets with ****ty tech vs super-angelic western dudes with super tech"

I'd say everything but the story is great though! I'm just kinda sick of playing crappy soviet outdated stuff vs super-duper american/german stuff. BF2 was nice in terms of story though becuase it was good soviet tech vs good american tech

[Jap1987]

The Ukraine/Russian tech is not outdated its always being modified to fit new standards. The only difference is that they started with a platform, the AK47, which was amazing and continued to improve it. With the US tech we started with a platform, the M16, which sucked in its overall design so we had nothing left to do then remake our assault weapon.

Overall im more impressed with this game then BF2. Awesome work team.

[EEzEY]

are there any plans to re create the KA-52 alligator attack chopper in future releases?? I played it in POE for BFV and it rocked,put in POE 2 and my life will be complete!

Good work fellas

[Ninjo]

Ukraining tech isn't outdated? I'm pretty sure even the best modifications of tanks like T-55's and even T-72's against German Leopard tanks is like Shermans vs. Tiger tanks in WWII. BTW, I'm sure they will balance them out to be just as good in the game, just irl the Russian stuff like that really is ****ty.

Why are you guys putting out all these little updates, just tell us your release date, like X number of days post-1.4 patch.

[|D|-Max]

here we go again about balance. balance killed BF2

and if you care about balance don't get FH2, Shermans die in one shot by a Tiger tanks and for a Sherman to kill a tiger tank well mmmm you need a lote of Shermans to kill a tiger :evil:

Maps look awesome and from what I 've read in the preview, the game rocks!

[jilted]

thanks for all the nice comments guys, appreciated.

stay tuned, seems like we are working up to SOMETHING

[L3adcannon]

does anyone have any info if they have changed the ingame physics or something. No other mod for BF2 has yet done it, vBF2 physics just suck balls. When people get shot, they whiggle and do some weird *** movements, 360 degree turns, saltos etc-comon, like a freaking cartoon.

Balance killed bf2? one thing i can't stand is when teams aren't balanced......You would wind up playing in servers with
25 guys on the side with the more powerful weapons and 5 guys on the other side getting their A**es kicked

NO THANKS!

I know the story, I was asking if there was a chance that the American and Russian truce falls apart.

[DrunkenPirate]

Some people really need to learn the meaning od patience, other also seem to forget that we aren't DICE/EA nor do we get paid like they do. we are doing this for $0 in our own personal time.
Show at least a little appreciation.

To the others, thankyou for the kind comments.

Maps: there will be as many maps as there are in BF2
Ukr vs. Ger tech: The gameplay and equipment has been fine tuned for balance whilst still maintaining the unique identity of the 2 teams.
Release: expect an announcement soon.

I think people are just getting impatiant thats all. I just wanted to thank you guys personally for all the hard work on this mod and i understand that you want to release a mod thats not all buggy. I can't wait til it comes out!

[-=SS=- *marcss*]

man we played the crap out of p.o.e. mod for bf vietnam,i cant wait for p.o.e. 2, it sounds awesome

[||Animal||]

I played POE for BFV a ton as well... Nothing was better than buzzing around in the comanche. As far as the impatient folks in the forum, just ignore them. They're a great example of the "instant gratification generation". Just take your time making it as good as you can and we'll appreciate it. Thanks for the hard work!

[Goosestaf]

ahhhh the POE2 media blitz continues :)

[peepot]

Everyone is just REALLY fiending for a good mod for BF2. Have a thick skin for people that are impateint. They just really want to play your mod and the others (like FH2). There is great frustration I think over mods these days, because like for BF2 and HL2, the mods are taking a long time to show up. I think it's because mod teams are trying to go above and beyond what has been done before. But you have to realize that its been a long wait - what other FPS do we have that aren't old by now? - none - the community is GOING NUTS. Take it the right way. When people are yelling "Release it dammit!" its just because the whole community is starved for mods! Besides if you can't stand criticism when your creating something... ANYTHING... well better get used to it because its reality.

Keep up the good work and whoever makes the first big release will be LOVED by the community!

:D

[Geledonutt]

Thanks for the comments guys, we are really looking forward to releasing and more information on that subject will be released soon. For those of you who where diehard PoE:1 fans we wont disappoint with PoE:2 all the excitement will still be there take my word on that. :)

Bf2 is not dead at all. I think its about to hit a hugh boom. The thing that killed bf2 was bugs, glitches, and ctd. So i like balance and hope poe trys to make it very balance.
