Point of Existence Mod Update #79.5

[Ace101]

The Point of Existence (http://www.pointofexistence.com/) mod team has updated their website again with some exciting information. They have finally released the password to the POE2 client torrent. Take a look:

Point of Existence would like to thank everyone who has come out in our support this last week, its very much appreciated.

Many of you realize that the password for our release has been compromised. When we realized this had happend, we decided we needed to 'get on the bandwagon' and make sure that everyone got the RIGHT information.

With that in mind, we want to remind everyone that we are having our release party still at 11am PST and are releasing our full unpassworded zip file of the mod to our host Hypernia at 12noon PST.

Some people seem to be having a little trouble with the install of the torrent file. You need to unpack the zip file to your desktop and run the exe. We broke the installer into two pieces so that you would be able to burn cd's of the mod. The PoE2-v1.0.0.0-mappack.cab file is needed by the installer, but you dont need to do anything with it. It just needs to be in the same directory as the exe when you install.

The password for the .rar'ed version of the torrent is:

..]POEv1.0.0[..]BIGthanksTOeveryoneWHOhasSUPPORTEDus]..

The torrent is available here (http://pointofexistence.hypernia.net/)

The POE manual is available here (http://www.pointofexistence.com/pns/PN/html/)

Thanks again to everyone who has been involved in this mod. If you want to get involved we would love to hear your opinons, join and post in our forums, it will only make the mod better:
pointofexistence.com/forums/ (http://www.pointofexistence.com/forums)

See you Saturday at 11am PST and on the POE battlefield.

Great to hear POE2 mod team! I would like to thank you guys personally for all the dedication that went into making this mod.

[Doctor Venture]

Great Job PoE.
I am so very impressed with the mod so far, and to the guy in [20ID]rizzraz and the rest of them those leaked the password for this mod and think no one cares, alot of us do.

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

I am officially changing your name from totalbf2 to totalPOE, lol. Can we give the POE threads a little break here. The password is on thier site, its in your other thread, and all over the net. :rolleyes:

Its also a fun game, I just read about it too much and need to enjoy it more for what it is, free good fun.

[derrickkolba]

ya all of us who used the cracker programs paided off, only wish i had finished befor everyone! nice job on the mod and thanks!

[Dethred]

This website's main page doesn't hold the complete password, and windows extractor keeps crashing after entering the password in. What a great start.

[Doctor Venture]

-> TOTAL PASSWORD ..]POEv1.0.0[..]BIGthanksTOeveryoneWHOhasSUPPORTEDus]..

Copy and paste it to a document first to make sure your not adding a space at the end, or removing part of the ..'s on either end.
The password starts with .. and ends with ..

[jilted]

Look at the post in this thread not the front page, its complete up there ^^

[LBC|Jester]

I love what happens when you enter the uncaps! :)

[frontpage]

lets play!

[james_1991-fight]

how do i install this i odnt have a clue

[dnoe91]

Good job POE. Played for about 2 hours tonight. Great Mod.

[*{82nd)*Commando]

VERY VERY VERY NICE MOD!!! I am speachless! You guys ROCK!

I was kinda surprised to see no bot support :(

First server I was in was nothing but a buch of TK'ing, imature, mouthy little punks, who's daddy prolly got them the server.....what a shame!

Would of like to went right to a co-op game after, but decided to call it a night anyways.

[Casey]

1 Gb file FTW!

3 hours to go

[imported_UH60BHPilot]

I was holding off on downloading until the PW was released, but since it is I'm starting :) Will be done in 20 min from a German host... kind of strange I'm getting 900kbps from a German host when I'm in the West Coast of the USA, but I'm not complaining :) . Very anxious to play PoE great work!

[Gabe]

installing, looking foward to playing it after i goto bed

[imported_DANK]

It seems passwording the file did good and bad. It drove a couple places to crash I think because of the intense overload and some admins begged to have it released for the sake of their server.

Created a lot of hype though.

[imported_thebamsco]

woohoo just in from work and the passy is there...fook x factor will be playing this the night :D

[LahLahSr]

POE is...interesting. Mostly because it is not BF2. The haze, poor visibility and green-brown color-scheme appears refreshingly different at first, but it is fatiguing on the eyes and make sit hard to appreciate the work that's gone into the models.

The gun-sounds, while different, are too loud and so are the voice-overs. The vehicles still take an unseemly amount of damage just going over the terrain as well.

Nice to see that the guns can actually hit something, for a change - however the coax and mounted MG's have very poor accuracy and are virtually useless at range - considering that soldiers can hop and sprint/stop/sprint all the same.

Higher foliage favors the infantry and armored vehicles are fairly useless on the forest maps - everyone and their brother carries the AT gear.

Too bad that no work has gone into smacktard-prevention. People still spam the same stupid messages over and over - would've been nice if the voice-overs was suppressed in those cases.

Hard to see why the M1 was remodelled - by and large it acts like the regular BF2 version and it still can't climb up a 10% incline without "soaping around". Especially on the forest-maps it would have been nice if the MBTs had some advantage in the terrain - a 2 year old sapling of a tree stops it dead in it's tracks.

Despite these design-flaws and odd priorities, it is still a fresh breath of air. It has potential to become a decent...even good..mod, as far as mods goes. The small-arms are nice and there is a good variety.

Cheers :-)

[3_eyed_weasel]

No wait just a minute. I've played about 5 maps all 64, and I have yet to find the map that has hundreds of every vehicle imaginable right at the team base. Where'd the old POE go?

[jimbob]

your kidding right? just now i got off a server where a convoy of 6 tanks 4 apc and 2 antiair followed by god knows how many jeeps etc left the main... play more :)

[-MIkie.]

what? only torrent :( or am I just blind?

[3_eyed_weasel]

Remember that dessert map in the BFV version? I think it was El Dabba or something. Anyway, there was like, 10 transport vehicles, 10 armor, 5 helicopters and 3 airplanes. And seeing as how there was no cover except for buildings all the vehicles were destroyed by ambushes if not prepared. That was awesome. I do however like the new no vehicle map they have in the BF2 version.

While this post just looks very nice, I just got the feeling that you were trying to cram as much content and threw anything into it. And I'm not sure how sounds and vehicle damage goes into the same paragraph.

I'll note that I've not even played the mod, so I'll just cover what I do know.

Anywho, as far as sounds go, the audio menu in your options is not there to just look pretty. Not to mention that most audio systems come with a volume control. This issue seems pretty bunk.

Don't know if you played the Swamp maps back before they were removed (Which I still in the back of my head hate the guts out of the POE team for), but when you got into a vehicle, you found the largest group of people on foot and moved with them like nails on wood, even if they really didn't want you to. This gave you better odds of them getting to the enemy first than you.

Radio spamming is one of those things that is built in and not easy to change, if you can at all. You can't make someone not press a button on their keyboard if they really want to. I would suspect this also ties into your sound problem.

Asking why the M1A1 was remodeled is ridiculous. This mod, by claim, is a total conversion. Most people take this quite literally. That and you have the art styles of the modelers to take into consideration, and the need to streamline them together to create a proper visual style.

And while you may not have intended it, your last comment was an insult of sorts, calling the mod bellow even what you consider decent, which from POE's track record, I find considerably hard to be true. Unless you are some kind of elite.

[teetsaar123]

There werent any passwords needed for the .rar and there was only a client files torrent!And whats with the 10 kb/sec? the poe team promised to make download sites for the 26 august but there arent any and it is 26 august over here!

You talking about the one with the small city and camp as flags. And two non cap mains?

[[TRashED]Topper]

Still downloading 8.6 percent at 118 kbps uploading at 31 percent.Cant wait to play this mod.I cant believe there is issues people have with this mod.I dont care,this mod ownes,if you dont like,dont play it,its that simple.

[NoFear|Evan]

its ok i suppose, TV missiles on APC's dont kill tanks instantly (stupid), and there is a major bug, i just came off a server where i was upclose to this guy, emptied 3 mags into him and knifed him 5 times and still no death, he did the same to me... havent even seen this in bf2.

[Verzili]

i must say i love the sniper kits +pick ups dam thats some good variety there,great job i just hope its got a few good uk server running :)

[ammar]

euh.. so i downloaded it .. and the instal program is working good .. but the map pack wont open !! the RAR file is dameged !!

HELP MY AZZ!!!!111!!!11

[[TRashED]Topper]

LMAO!!! Totaly misread the part where I thought they said that this mod could NOT be burned to a cd,I should open my eyes a little more lol

[[4TA]S|Pvt.Dronetek]

Great job POE DEVS! We had a great time playing with you all on our server last night!

[frontpage]

lets just hope for an hotfix soon

[-MIkie.]

what? only torrent :( or am I just blind?
:confused:

[SgT.uK]

euh.. so i downloaded it .. and the instal program is working good .. but the map pack wont open !! the RAR file is dameged !!

HELP MY AZZ!!!!111!!!11

You dont need to touch the mappack.rar file, they are extracted during the install, just use the .exe and the maps are installed at the end.

[masterllama]

Hey guys i used an ausgamers link to download the game and it is used as a zip file but whenever i enter the password it doesn't work, what's wrong?

[antseezee]

I played the game for one round, on one map, Cartha Mountains. I must say that the game does present the same feeling like OPK did. It feels different than BF2, but relates a lot to OPK.

I had some fun playing. I did not like the Cartha map though (no air support), and it felt congested at first. We did not have a commander though, so it was difficult to judge whether or not we were receiving the full gameplay experience. Plus, no one in any of the squads speaked VOIP or English, so that messed up things even worse.

I think it's a great mod, and I may add a database listing to it on GameFAQs (write a FAQ & review) if it truly is awesome. I will play more tonight.

[Cold Fussion]

I played poe for a few hours. Its a great mod bu there are a few things i don't like.

1) The tornado's physics are bad, very bad. Its either full up or full down, there is no inbetween.

2) I Hate the the way the jets are set up. The conventinaly bf2 with the guns for main fire and switch between scendaries would b far better.

3) Cartha Mountains. This map needs a serious overhaul. Its huge, too many trees, not enough vecheiles and many other things which make it as enjoyable as watching the grass grow.

4) the weapon sounds. They are way to loud and each sound sounds very simular. Also, the silencer dose nothing. In my perosnal oppion, the normal bf2 gun sounds would be alot more enjoyable.

All in all it was good. Although, my expectation were too high so i was abit dissapointed in how some of the stuff was done.

I'll still be playing bf2 it would seem.

YAY 23h DOWNLOAD FOR UTORRENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

agree, its like OPK, only worst imo

[Ghost Dog]

The torrent does not work for me, I can download other torrents without issues but this one keeps giving me connection errors/timeouts...

They plan the release one week in advance yet the day it 's released there are barely any mirrors and the torrent doesn't work, great. Ausgamers gives me a poor 55kb/s... 5 hours remaining :( .

PS: where the hell is patch 1.4, I thought the delay wouldn't be long.

[imported_WereWolf]

15h for a download, and I have a ****ing 4MBP/s CONNECTION!!!!!!

[Ghost Dog]

15h for a download, and I have a ****ing 4MBP/s CONNECTION!!!!!!I got a 10mbit line and am downloading at 55kb/s :cry: , fix the bloody torrent!

[Cherni]

does this meen i can dowload the mod the old fashoned way at 12!

[imported_WereWolf]

Why can't it be like Bfv PoE was? were we can just download the .exe FILE !?!?

Oh yea, 15KBP/s right now at 5%......... i've been downloading for f-ing 30min's <_<

If this download does not get any faster... I'm not downloading untill they do something about it...

We need more seed's........................ and more peer's to make faster.....

There will be a non passworded EXE file for you today at the release party.

Also I would like to encourage those that have spent sometime getting use to PoE:2 to please use our forums to make suggestions /comments. We need your input to make the next hotfix/patch. It can only get better from here guys,with your input of course.

[imported_WereWolf]

Will the download be faster or... we will still have to wait a week ?

Oh wait, your being sarcastic... just caught it...

13h, YAAAAAY!

[b` m3ow]

Yea! I Lov you POE! *goes and calls hookers for a party* :)

[Shrooms(Scott)]

Man i hate torrents. They are stupid

Cant wait for the non torrent version : )

[The Defeatest]

Played for a couple of hours and I must say what an incredible job for a first release. You can tell countless hours were put into these maps, not to mention everything else. Very professional and just great fun!

[silky_z]

party in 3 minuets!!!

BTW, the map pack had an error after the install. help!

[[GU]LIZARD{GEN}]

This mod is awesome. I love it. I don't think it related to OPK. OPK was a garbage mod, it sucked. Everything is balenced though. Lots of *** holes exist. I found a bug it would seem where if your in the Tiger, and you fire a missile at a tank sitting on one of the birdges (can't remember the map), you get a **** load of negative points. Lets see I went from 78 points to -400 when I experienced this bug. I don't know exactly why it happend, but it was odd. As I said lots of TKing going on. The mod is more based towards german, and other countries. I'd like to see a USA side in the near future like POE in vietnam had. With the A-10, Apache, and Commache. Those were the days.
Over-all not one thing is wrong with this mod. I had some clan mates talk about some lag after playing it awhile, but I didn't experience that myself. It ran smooth as butter for me. The snow maps are something else to. Quality models as well, the models just own. Even the player skins look sweet. For this mod being on 1.3, I didn't experience none of the bugs that 1.3 had in it. I didn't crash to the desktop once, none of the servers I was in crashed. It was just top of the line. Very professional. Great work guys!

Just 300 megs download wasted :) .

[silky_z]

ok, i ran the mod and it works!

i found just one problem, I CAN'T STOP!!!

[Doctor Venture]

There are alot of people who have no idea how a torrent works apparently.
I downloaded the mod yesterday afternoon, at 600kb, settings on YOUR firewall/router and ISP determine how fast you get the torrent. I saw over 1,000 seeders when I started.

Btw, for all you haters out there, 300 servers and 1900 people playing this mod is not bad. I have never seen anyone else release with this amount of players online.
I am sure PoE will only get better.

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

Btw, for all you haters out there, 300 servers and 1900 people playing this mod is not bad. I have never seen anyone else release with this amount of players online.

Thats great, I hope everyone enjoys tha game. You can have as many people and servers as you want, the Hype alone was beyond anything I have ever seen. Of course big sponsors, EA\DICE all over your home page, reviews from friendly sites pronouncing it the second comming, wonder why so many people are in a frenzy.

On the torrent, read a little people, its not that hard, lol. I got 1.5 megs DL speed, and seeded at almost 2 megs for a whole night of sleep. Its the best way to distribute, and Hypernia hosting the only available torrent link was a cute touch.

It feels like vanilla to me, but you can run like the wind, and use sniper rifles as assault. The sounds need a lot of work, HKsniper must smoke alot when he plays given his rave review of the ingame sounds. BF2 beats it hands down in the sound dept.

Dont overhype the next MOD that comes out people, just let it come. I thought this MOD was going to change the entier feel of the game, errrr, wrong. The best part of it IMO are the weapons, they are stunning and look much better than the BF2 ones.

[D_FAST]

Cant please 100% of the people 100% of the time. But we are here to try!

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

Cant please 100% of the people 100% of the time. But we are here to try!

Dont get me wrong, I am impressed. The hype machine put in motion was crazy, so one person giving you an honest opinion shouldnt sting too bad. I expected it to feel less like bf2 vanilla gameplay. Beatifull weapons, nice maps, people can run too fast. Feels like an arcade game to me.

[scrogathon]

I managed to download this torrent at 650kbs constant yesterday, I bet you all wish you downloaded it ahead of time like it sayed on the front page of tbf2.

[imported_thebamsco]

Single best thing about this mod?

People are playing it :D Hurrah!!

http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?search=gamevariant=poe2&type=variable&game=bf2

Just under 2000 players on right now!!

And as for 23 hours for the torrent file... lol I got it in 1 hour on my 4 meg line :D

Fingers crossed it retains a fan base!

[Feenix5712]

So I D/L the passworded torrent and it seemed to have installed okay, but I wanted to play singleplayer first and I load it up and I see no maps. I even made sure that the install was correct and the Levels folder is there and everything. Any help is greatly appreciated...

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

Ummmm, cause there is no single player dude. Yeah, that would explain it.

I hope at least this gets the kiddish bf2 crowd into the mod scene. It surely is in need of the POE injection its getting right now

[=DNC=BongSquad]

SWEET the torrent is working well. It's going to take me less than 2 hours. Nice work on the password scheme.

I apparently do not know how to use it...
I see 883 seeds but I am only downloading from 1 of them really slow. Using ABC. I am not working off a firewall or router on the comp that is dling this so I know that is out of the question on how it's setup. I do know you download at the speed that someone can upload. I was getting a download at about 200kBs before but now I lost that one and there is only 1 dling at about 2 kBs with 50% to download. If you could explain to the rest of us then how to get that 600KBs download speed from the 883 seeds, it would be appreciated.

Create a server in game mate from the multiplayer screen. Then you can mess about with the vehicles, maps and weapons and get a heads up before playing online ;)

I think you need a new soundcard my friend. Althought the sounds aren't mindblowingly awesome, they are very very very good and on par with Vanilla. When the jets go flying over, man! really incredible feeling on the ground. The mp5 alone is just wicked, and way better than vanilla.
I dont know I have an xfi, and the sounds rock to me!!

[Shrooms(Scott)]

so how soon will this .exe come

[imported_ThePieSpy]

Good maybe we can actually get a DL that is useful, not some 10kbs a sec Torrent. Retarded as ****.

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

I think you need a new soundcard my friend. Althought the sounds aren't mindblowingly awesome, they are very very very good and on par with Vanilla. I dont know I have an xfi, and the sounds rock to me!!

Im not going to ramble about what kind of sound system I have, but lets just say that anything made by soundblaster doesnt really hold up to my system. I do video and audio work for a living for a large corporation, and all I do is handle media files. I use 64 bit systems just to check the properties of audio.

None of that nonsense matters anyways. If it sounds good on your gear, then enjoy it. I however was led to believe by the staff here and its review that they were mind blowing sounds.

All issues with BF2 aside, the audio in POE doesnt hold a candle to the vanilla sounds. You might not like how loud they are in game, or how far you can hear them from, but thats a different story.

Then again, lots of people here talked about how great the weapon sounds were in USI, so there is no accounting for taste.

[Jap1987]

Maybe you shouldn't run audio hardware that's designed to expose audio flaws when you play games.

Dont get me wrong, I am impressed. The hype machine put in motion was crazy, so one person giving you an honest opinion shouldnt sting too bad. I expected it to feel less like bf2 vanilla gameplay. Beatifull weapons, nice maps, people can run too fast. Feels like an arcade game to me.


I haven't had a chance to play it yet but if it has fast paced arcade action like you say then all I have to say is: HELL YEAH ABOUT TIME!!! If you want realism, go play operation flashpoint, don't ruin the BF series for those of us that love arcade type games.

FYI the best torrent program is EASILY utorrent. I've used many, including abc.

Ive used that, ,but bitcomet is better in my opinion..

Ive used that, ,but bitcomet is better in my opinion..I prefer Azureus, shows you everything you need to know and much much more.

I finally got to play the game and I must say I like it a lot. Everything seems better, the accuracy, the vehicle physics, the models, but especially the sound. I just love the jet and chopper sounds, very impressive :) .

Found a few bugs but nothing too bad so I must say WELL DONE... and this for a first release. If anyone gives me a direct link to the bug report area, I 'll post what I 've found so far documented with screenshots.
