Just wanted to post the news here so that gamers can see our latest. With the release of Forgotten Hope today I'm sure they will be having the spotlight which I'm sure will be well deserved on the front page of Totalbf2.com - Probably one of the most anticipated BF:2 mods finally has released! Take a peak below to see what's going on with PoE:2

Welcome back for the Point of Existence:2 News #116.

Daarken and our Testing Team has taken the time to create a video to introduce the level designed by Greasy_Mullet with assistance from Jilted called Raid on Kerch. We've received a lot of great comments on this map, so if you haven't downloaded PoE:2 version 2.1 (http://www.pointofexistence.com/poe2full.php) you are missing out on some great fun!

It's been two weeks since the release of PoE:2 version 2.1 and our team has been busy adjusting the new levels that were released with it. Today's news we will be showcasing some screenshots taken from the Tactical Gamer's (http://www.tacticalgamer.com) Point of Existence:2 game server. Today's news will just consist of screenshots from 2 of the 6 new levels and we'll post more in the next news post. We've received a lot of good feedback back from our fans and the level design team has been working on editing the new maps to make them better for online game play. The first map would be Snake Eyes developed by Illicitfilms. The map has the type of game play similar in nature of "Normady" that was originally developed on the BF:1942 engine. It's an amphibious assault by the Marines onto what used to be a Ukrainian beach resort. The Ukraine team has the advantage as the Marines fight for ground as soon as they hit the beach. This map includes a prototype destroyer referred to as the DDG-1000 which has two artillery batteries and a tomahawk missile launcher to support the landing Marines.

A word of caution - don't do what these unfortunate gamers attempted to do below. - Parachutes will not work on this level and the helicopters have to land to deliver the troops to the battlefield.

Hey Rhino - The links will still be available to download the mod :yay: Take your time - I'm an active player of the different mods so sometimes my son and I have to flip for it to see which mod we'll play. Since we can't play online due to having satellite internet we of course have to stay with mods that have "bots" for us to use as a turkey shoot.

I'm looking forward to download and trying out Forgotten Hope:2 w/bots - always enjoyed playing FH1.
