The time has come! Point of Existence 2 (http://www.pointofexistence.com/) has now officially been released. Read below for more details:

Welcome to yet another PoE2 news release! as you know we had an unexpected early release of the password via IRC lastnight during our live matchcast on FragTV. we decided that once the cat was out of the bag there was no point in stopping it so we decided to release the password via official channels too. POE would like to once again thank everyone that has been involved for the last year with our mods production. We truly couldnt have done it without all of you.

Regardless, our prerelase is going extremely well, we hope that everyone is enjoying the mod. We realize that we have some things to work on, but didnt think it was worth holding up the mod right now to finish such small details.

To start out, we would like to thank Devil for another amazing wallpaper:

<a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=http://images.totalbf2.com/news/Rush800.jpg"><img src="http://images.totalbf2.com/news/thumb_Rush800.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>

There are 3 different sizes, you can see the full size version by clicking on one of the links: 800x600 (http://www.pointofexistence.com/newsimages/news80/Rush800.jpg), 1024x768 (http://www.pointofexistence.com/newsimages/news80/Rush1024.jpg), 1152x864 (http://www.pointofexistence.com/newsimages/news80/Rush1152.jpg).

To stay on track with our planned release schedule, here are the standard downlinks to the unpassworded client release. We would like to thank Hypernia again for thier amazing service during this process.

MyIS has nothing to do with the topic...

The reason there are so many threads is because if you noticed, they released the mod in different steps...and with each step comes a new news post on their site, thus a new newspost on our site.

Having some people scrambling to find a DL that works is a good thing in one sense, it means you creation is on fire. On the other hand, for those who are getting it late, its not so good.

I got my DL as soon as it went out, and got close to 800k down, and gave 1500k uo on bitcommet. Staying informed gives certain benefits, lol.

Great artwork, my hat goes off to this team. Best wepons models I have seen, inculding the BF2 ones. There just friggin sexy and mean, a great combination.:cool:

Filefront has it up and running.

To the other player who tried to download nofear... I started at 540 and 34 minutes later finished at about 478 or so.

Im pulling the zip file off Filefront as a backup in case the Rar fails at about 480/kb There are about 150 people who got the download ahead of me.

I wanta DL it, I really do.

But how do mods work? If I DL it will I still be able to play vanilla? How do you launch the mod version of the game when you wanta play it? would it mess vanilla up or anything, would I et thwat little "No modified content" error or something like that?Do you use the same file you use on BF2?

Sorry..just wanted to know before I got the mod.

Lobo[FH]
08-27-2006, 12:36 AM
Don't worry at all, the mods doesn't change a single file of the BF2 installation, they are installed in their own folder, you can play vanilla with no worries, or your favourite mods.

The installer will place a PoE shortcut in your desktop, just run it and you will start directly in PoE and find a server, remember to uncheck ranked servers in the menu selection, or it will not show PoE servers

Thanks, well..I tryed to extract all the files..and I did..then I tried opening up PoE:2 setup and got some NSIS error I think it was. :( Now I gotta re DL..this time it takes an hour. :(

Or did I do something wrong? do I need original POE (If there was one) to get POE 2?

man oh man - i have been playing this for god knows how many hours straight. Still haven't got through every map yet!

I demand 24/7 fallen servers! I used to be a tank man (which most of the maps cater nicely to) but i must say i enjoy the infantry play in this mod heaps (especially on all these packed servers!). Does anyone know if there is another map with a similar setup to fallen? (no vehicles?)


think i might go jump back on hahaha!


P.S - congrats guys on providing a worthy replacement to BF2. Ditching commander arty and UAV was the best decision for gameplay - far more enjoyable!

try orel jimbob, another infantry map (there is a jeep and dingo per team, but they are pretty minor in the battle).

Also most of the 16 player maps are mostly infantry.

Each map size is almost completely different. Hope everyone is trying different sizes.

played for last six hours. really enjoyed. frontline makes for good battles. Ukrainian assault rifle is the deadly. took out a whole clan hiding in a tower to take next flag in frontline. with vanilla I would have died because of inaccuracy/weakness of weapons.

having trouble with tanks getting owned not sure why.

frontline with 32 infantry map is best.

not got a round on fallen the best map or found pickup.

someone made a comment they missed poe1 with all the viechles at the bases. rubbish. some maps have that.

Can not believe the negative folk. If you have yet not played a good server, a good map with good players just try another.

Not enough frontline servers, Come on admins. makes for team play.

okay what the ****

You are extracting map pack first . extract other. It does not matter it will install anyway.

POE2 is awesome! Only minor suggestion I have is to tighten the spread a bit more on the infantry weapons and add a toggle to turn off the beeping sound and the mod will be perfect. I also don't think the tiger is overpowered like some people were complaining about.

[MyIS]Spetsnaz
08-27-2006, 06:45 AM
EDIT: The Ukies sound like old men! hehe

I just played for like 5 hours (mostly on 24/7 fallen ;) ). Gonna take a break and do some more :D

The POE team needs to somehow encourage the new game modes. Most of the servers run the default Conquest mode and, frankly, it totally sucks compared to the other cool modes. Frontline is freakin awesome man... so is the nuclear bomb mode.

One tactic that I've hated ever since BF1942 was the jeep maneuver. A single guy would get a jeep and drive around the corner of the map and get a flag all the way in the back. It becomes a problem because it's unfair to tell people that they have to sit around the edge of the map waiting for a single jeep while the rest get to have a good fight. Everyone should get a chance at the action and no one should have to sit around deserted waiting for these jeeps to come-a-drivin. And with no scans (a good thing), there is no way to identify these guys unless you sit around the edge of the map picking your nose and _hoping_ they'll show up so you get some action.

Fallen map is the shiznit.

The Ukranian assault rifle is devastating, but some people say it's unbalanced. I think it's perfectly balanced because Ukranian side has a medic rifle w/o a scope which makes it much harder to use. So Ukies gets their badass assault rifles and Germs get the uber medic rifle.

Visibility takes some getting used to, but I think I like. The engagements are usually very short range ones because of the fog.

I don't like the sniper rifles. They are what they should be though... the game should not have a kit that is has a true sniper rifle (like M95, etc). They should have squad designated marksman rifles which are usually just semi-auto rifles w/ scopes (SVD and the like). I dont like them because I love sniping and love bolt action, it makes for alot of suspense when you have 1 shot. But that's not what POE2 is about so I'm cool with that.

I was getting owned when in a tank. Finally the tankers need to have some tactical awareness! When I got the picture and started doing my job as a tank (suppressive fire), we took the flag and I got plenty of kills. BF2 has taught us to drive our tanks right into the middle of a group of infantry... not POE! Well done POE on the armor balance. I gotta say... the crosshair for the tank really confused me at first! heh

Almost every class has smoke grenades! woot!

It would be cool if when in a tank and selected between HEAT and SABOT, the weapon icon could hint on what the round is good for. Some people dont know or always forget. Is it just me, or is the HEAT round misspelled HEAP in the game?

Claymores are completely pointless and should either be removed or made into triggered explosives like C4. That way snipers will actually set the traps and have to keep track of them. Here's why claymores are pointless right now:

1) The game doesnt have snipers. It has squad based designated marksman. The rifles are *not* strong enough to sit at massive distances. This means the sniper needs always move with the team. Since sitting on some hill or rooftop is kind of unproductive, the sniper has nowhere to place his clays.

2) If sniper places clays to defend a base, some teammate will surely run over them intentionally (some people get a laugh out of screwing up other's scores or getting them kicked for TK violation).

3) If sniper places clays while attacking a base, his friendlies will run over them as they catch up to the base or when they spawn in later.

You could just say "oh well, then the sniper shouldnt use them unless he really needs it and he's isolated". That may be true, but every class gets a specialty weapon (defribs/medpack, ammo packs, wrench/mine, grenade launcher, c4). These weapons are meant to be used constantly... not fair that the sniper gets some claymore that he'll never be able to use unless he's playing in a clan match where they are all on the same page.

C4 chucking is back :( I have no problem with it, because I dolphin dive and prone spam like crazy when in close range :D I even c4 chucked a little when it was popular in vanilla. Even still, it doesn't seem like something the POE team would want.

As mentioned above, dolphin diving and prone spam are all still there. I, of course, use it but would prefer if it wasnt there. It would be nice to finally have to from cover to cover and have tremendous recoil when shooting while standing. Only when you crouch or prone does your recoil drop down. There should also be 1 second delay between prone <> crouch <> stand. This would somewhat slow down the action, but I think it would make the battles much more memorable. As it stands, there's no point in sitting behind, say, a sandbag for more than 2 seconds. Just get out, hop around and prone spam till you get to next cover and shoot... rinse and repeat.

Dont take these as complaints, just a quick off-the-top-of-my-head brain fart of what I think so far! The mod is awesome and I'm somewhat amazed that you guys were able to release such a polished product in such a quick time for free! TY!

Is there any chance of changing the chopper physics to the same ones used in BF2? The ones in POE2 feel more like airplane physics than helicopter and its a bit akward using them.

Is it just me, or is the HEAT round misspelled HEAP in the game?



It's not misspelled. It's High-Explosive Anti-Personel, Not High-Explosive Anti-Tank.

I already have that zip file from file front.

MYSTERY SOLVED.

What I usually do is have the filters establish to allow punkbuster, same version, ranked and all maps with a ping limit of 100.

I cleared all of the filter options and just selected all map sizes and "Same Mod" way down in the lower left corner of the filter screen on the BF2 BFHQ.

BINGO. Heavy's in business.

We must have tried 20x to properly use the art setup, would not work...what are we missing?

1) guy is in gunner seat, requests art location from Q menu
2) I choose binoculars, aim on spot, click and it says that I should call for art
3) I switch within 3-4 secs, pressing the remote button
4) the guy as gunner does not see a videofeed show up, only "no signal"

Please help, I'm tired of hearing people clal out for art request, and no1 can do anything to help. Is it a bug?

to have the gunner see the spot he has to be looking at the satalite image(I think) while the spotter sports for you, than the "No Signal" should be replaced with a top down view of the area.

I must say though that its pretty difficult to ue, moreso than BF42 even, lol it takes about 6 shots for me to find my bearings on where im actually shooting, then another 3 to set up the height. Does the arty signal(the thing that pops up on the minimap when an arty strike is called) show up on your 3d map aswell? If not I think it should be considered as it would make lining up shots a little easier

Proper Arty Procedure.
1. Have Person in arty
2. Have teammate use binocs to spot arty, and then use the taccom radio to call it in.
3. Arty Gunner witches from the cannon to satellite.
4. Arty Gunner then should see the arty spot.

and to answer someone's question, yes this is PoE2's first BF2 release.

I take it you hadn't properly read my post.

1) There is a guy in the gunner seat of the art cannon. He is alone in the vehicle. He is in SAT. view with the message "NO SIGNAL" on the screen

2) I am about 300 meters away from him, he calls for a art. request.

3) I aim my binoculars to a flag where the enemy is about to be. I tell him there is a convoy incoming. (over VoIP)

4) I switch to my remote detonator looking thing, and I press it several times.

5) I don't see a art. icon on my map/mini-map, and his view continues to say "NO SIGNAL"

We tried repeatedly, switching positions in the tank-artillery (Ukr.). We tried putting someone to fill the driver position while attempting, never worked.

I followed the online manual, and the one I downloaded. I watched and re-watched the video, I just couldn't make this work.

Bug? Maybe something disabled on the server's end?

POE team, any idea what I was doing wrong?

Make sure after you click with the binoc's you wait for the red text to show up that the cordinates were recorded, then switch to the radio and call them in.

I hope they dont ruin this with Ranking. Server side ranking ios fine for those who care, but ranking is one of the things that killed bf2 for lots of us.

Remember when FPS games were about your side winning? It still is for some, but the ranking has killed teamwork. I hope that it doesnt become an issue, because this mod is really putting some steam into the mod scene. I give some real credit to them for that.

It worked for the first time tonight, was really handy having that SAT link. I had finally seen the art symbol, but it was displayed in the center of the map pretty much everytime. I had to enter/exit a couple times from SAT view to regular view before it showed up.

There never was a BF42 version, just BFV. But yeah DC was going strong back then so I never got into POE because of that. I still think POE2 has some problems which will never get resolved (since some people are content with the way things are) like:

1. chopper physics that should've been left alone
2. grenade launcher that should've been changed back to the way it was pre-nerf
3. grass draw distance increased and/or more static objects to make up for the lack of grass draw distance.
4. ability to hit targets accurately when strafing without having to zoom (since you MUST be zoomed in to hit accurately in POE).

The first poe was not available for BF1942, it was deveolped on BFV. Its tought o compare any MOD to DC, even more so when the theme is totaly different, like POE. Its fun to have lots of MOPDs though, and play whatever your in the mood for at the time.

I only hope people support the other MODs from here on out as well. POE2 is a blast, lots of action, thats for sure.

The perfect mod IMO would be:

1. DC chopper physics
2. Weapons that are accurate and powerful enough to hit targets nearby while straffing (without having to zoom in).
3. POE maps + DC urban maps
4. DC jets
5. POE models + skins
6. Pre-nerf grenade launcher
7. Dolphin diving removed
8. Pre-nerf C4 chucking
9. Opinions of realism (aka noobie) nutjobs ignored.

Sigh..unfortunately my dream won't ever be realized in a BF2 mod. I'm hoping Quake Wars comes close--judging by the videos I've seen of infantry combat, it is fast paced and straffing + firing lands on targets perfectly without having to use zoom. POE2 is a lot of fun but the infantry combat reminds me of GRAW for XB360 more than it does a fast paced game that doesn't require you to be zoomed in all the time to hit a target accurately.

To call this a mod, doesn't do it justice.

To me, it's the way BF2 was meant to be played. It you haven't played this, then you NEED to give this a try. It kicks ***.

Highlights:-

No indiscriminate commander artillery! You no longer have to pray when capping a flag!

No commander scans or UAV's (which were naff).

The gameplay is actually BALANCED. Yes, there is a true rock/paper/scissors stone approach. Sry Flyboys, but you ain't gonna get your usual 50-1 kill ratios.... Also tanks are tough at the front, but very vulenerble at the back.

Infrantry combat just feels "right". The weapons actually feel deadly when aimed and not like some sort of pea-shooter.

Maps are varied and very well designed. The IO maps create some really intense firefights.

I could go on and on...... :D

CONGRATS POE team on a very professional and solid first release. Remember people, this is only going to get better (unlike vanilla which seems to ahve gone from bad to worse!)

To call this a mod, doesn't do it justice.

To me, it's the way BF2 was meant to be played. It you haven't played this, then you NEED to give this a try. It kicks ***.

Highlights:-

No indiscriminate commander artillery! You no longer have to pray when capping a flag!

No commander scans or UAV's (which were naff).

More balanced. lol. I will remain the voice of sanity in the smooch fest on POE. There has to be at least one voice of dissent, lol (theres actually plenty)

This is like putting a different paint job on a mustang, and calling it a Ferrari. :rolleyes:

You're entitled to your opinion of course - but that statement implies that all the modders did was change some player and weapon skins - add a couple of models and maps and called it a day.

That clearly isn't the case. I have to agree with those that say the game does have a totally different feel to it. I wouldn't want to compare it to DC (gasp! blasphemy!) - but all in all a jam up job!

i played PoE2 before on a multiplayer server and it was great, the only thing i dont like is the heli control, it seems too... "flimsy" unlike bf2 where it feels smooth, maybe its just me but im sure ill get used to it.

besides that its a great mod, great vechiles, great weapons, great maps :D

well done you deserve the applause :D

Its just an anology, I never really thought of BF2 as a ferrari before, more like a rental car, in which you can jump rail road tracks and not care.

I didnt crawl out from under any rock, and I also didnt insult anyone personally. I have written all sorts of praise for the things I like about this MOD. I think the weapons are beautiful, they kill people (which I like). The Stattics are amazing, and the map variety is great. They obviously put a lot of time and focus on this. I have been playing it several nights a week, and I havent gone near BF2 in about 3 months.

I happen to have a different point of view from some people on a few topics, and have every right to voice them. Maybe you would be happy if people would lie just to agree with your point of view, "but homie dont play that". You also have the right to make personal insults every time you disagree with someones thoughts or approach, which you do most of the time.

I happen to think that the game aldo feels like BF2, but much faster paced. I dont like the weapon sounds, but I like the map ambience (especially the wolf in the forest sound). I thought the game was going to feel like a different game somewhow, from all the talk from people on forums.

Im still playing the game, there are hundreds of servers, its very very popular, and The entire team at POE2 seems to remain very professional, as the very small group of us mention our dislikes. For some reason though, you always like to be a jerk on other peoples behalf.

That s MO. Keep your cosmetics for yourself. :D
Flying helicopters in BF2 is way more realistic. In POE2 i think i am flying a car.

I have to admit that music in POE2 is great. Gets you "into" it. Like the great soundtrack of Forgotten hope 1rst realeses. EPIC stuff (until the changed the music in 0.66 or 0.7 ii think)

Somewhat agree with you on the Helo. Although I prefer DC style HELO flying to BF2, so I am not complimenting BF2 by any means.

Totaly disagree with you on the music, makes me want to go to bed, or remix it, or get the weird clicks I hear when I turn up my speakers a bunch. The weapon sounds are better, they sound like BF2 sounds to me, but you can hear them from much further, which is sweeet.

Yes, PoE owns SF. There are 2 or so servers that run ranked PoE(in a way). They're almost always full though.

You mean "LIGHTER" feeling.

The German Attack Chopper was more responsive than the USMC Cobra and felt really good when I flew it. The Assault heli is a little bit of a Bus but that is ok, still a little bit lighter and more agile than the hawk.

The more I play POE with my Clan on ventrillo, the more Im convinced that this mod is what BF2 should have been from the very beginning (Not including the 1.3 problems) Im having too much fun with it to give a damn about rankings.

I think some of you are staying away because there are no ranks to earn or gain in POE.

Download, install and play the game and see for yourself why it is pretty good.

rofl - somone needs to take their meds.

who is more of a jerk? the guy who posts a JOKE at a rather not-very-well-thought-out analogy? or the guy who has to post 4 paragraphs of waffle finished off with a bland insult just because he is so insecure that he can't see a JOKE with a friggin laughing emoticon at the end of it? take a look in the mirror, pal.

build a bridge - get over it.

I found this map (http://www.bf-games.net/index.php?action=download_details&new=1&downloadid=1607) for SP but it doesen't work... The game starts normally, but once in front of class selection i can't spawn and game doesen't starts. Even bots aren't in-game... I saw instructions but are in german....:cry: some help?:hmm:

Map finally worked... My congratulations guys.. even if i feel a little balance in weapons is needed... German rifles seem to be a little less accurate. especially the sniper...

I hope to see more maps for this beautiful mod also in SP mode... is there any hope to get it ??????:)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO awsome i have been looking for a reason to stop playing bf2 and now i have found it

?? Your sig. I understand that you 'hate' EA. But do you even realise that without EA there is no PoE? Don't give me that EA didn't make the game. I know that Dice did, but they did sign on the dotted line also. EA made it as popular as it is today. Without all the popularity PoE wouldn't be ****.

wtf does vanilla means.. ive heard it alot but im not that intrested in mods so i never asked...

Vanilla means BF2 plain. Meaning BF2 out of the box without mods.

Thank you POE2 team. I haven't played BF2 in a month, was getting very tired of the same old s$#t.

POE2 Maps are amazing, Fallen is insainely fun. Guns and vehicles are awesome.. I love the balance, feel, atmosphere.. everything.

And to think this is just the start, so much to add.... Thank you!!
