The guys behind the Point of Existence 2 (http://www.pointofexistence.com/) mod are back today with their latest update. They are showing off some new media as well as talk of a new game mode. Have a look:
It’s been a pretty exciting week in the Battlefield Modding Community with a couple of the mods finally releasing. Congratulations go out to the teams that have released. We are in the stage of finishing up on the last few content items, coding, and quality assurance. With that in mind, let’s begin our news by showcasing some screenshots from the objective mod that we are finishing up on. Our forums had a lot of speculation on what the objective would be and Chew6acca almost guessed it. He came very close but showed the wrong vehicle. The main objective will be for the German team to recon the area and pinpoint the location of the RS-12M Topol mobile nuclear launch vehicle and destroy the mobile missile launcher before the Ukrainians have the time to set it up and initialize launch sequence. If the launch vehicle is not destroyed by the time it takes for the launch sequence to be completed a nuclear 550 kT missile will launch!

This game mode will be included initially on SgtWedge’s Carpathian Mountains level. Gamemode by Mach10, Model by jilted, skin by GeleDonutt. We are testing the waters to see what types of game modes will be enjoyable outside the basic conquest mode, and the community will be the judge.
The next item is to answer a question asked by C4BLE in our suggestion topic area. His question was “will there be a counterpart to the Ukrainian UAZ 3151, on the German side?” Sometimes pictures are better than words so here it goes C4BLE…
Last item to showcase this week is the Ukrainian made Fort-12 semi-auto pistol. The model would be Macht_Tot’s first model since he joined us two weeks ago.

Wow that wolf is very impressive, by far one of the most realistic looking vehicle renders I have seen posted recently.
That new gameplay mode sounds very interesting, not to mention the model of the nuke looks cool.
This will have to be a must get.

Had lots of fun playing PoE/BFV, so I'm really curious about PoE 2. The new game mode sounds cool; I really like what the mod-teams are doing with BF2.

Nice looking work. The launcher and tube itself seems a little unfinished. Like the shape and skin are great, but it needs more stuff on it. Cant say what exactly. Maybe a box with wires going down the tube.
I hope it actually blows up half the map, that would be awesome.

Nice to see the new gamemode is working out, does the launcher spawn at a random spot or can it be driven around and deployed?

yes, you will hear sounds, the missle will launcher, you'll have time to figure out what hapened before the game switches to winner/looser screen. Also, unlike other objective modes out there, defenders get bonuses for guarding the nuke

From what I can tell, PoE has the most accurate, and the most professional looking models out there.
Now who would put a huge mobile ROCKET LAUNCHER in the middle of a mountain, next to a log cabin! What where they thinking, launching that thing can cause a forest fire!!
That rocket launcher reminds me of when I pet my dog, and he likes it to much. :)
At least it is not a red rocket!

Thats why I said half the map. The half that the launching crew is not on, lol.:cool:
Its great to see so many new gameplay mods comming out. I remember the days of conquest, ctf, and once in a while objective. These new ones should be great.

Awesome news, Mach10...you're my hero! :)
I think the Launcher/Truck needs some skin work. It's looks too plain with that paintjob.
p.s.: It won't make sense to destroy the opponent's attacking force with the Nuke...It's a ballistic missile which is probably aimed at Berlin(Germany).
I'm guessing that it will just fire, etc. (like Mach10 said) and that's it.

Yes, that's the point.. Germans will have to find it and Ukrainians will need to hide it/prepare for launch.

The launcher is not mobile. It is static in a defendable position.
It really doesnt pay to rush through the final details on a mod that has taken us 10-11 months to complete. I think everyone will be much happier with a complete, planned release.

READ THE DEV POSTS.
You CANNOT drive the launcher, you are supposed to destroy it if you are German, and protect it if you are Ukrainian.
Gawd.
I pwn hardcore BTW.

As a former PoE dev, and a current FH dev, I can tell you PoE has exactly the same policy FH has. That is, no release date is announced until the mod is fully complete and uploaded to the FTP.
As [FH]Lobo said in one of the other mods news comments:
'] anounce an oficial release date 1 week before with the final build in your hands, fully tested and after you hit the SEND button of the mail to the websites that will host the baby, trust on me :laugh:
You never know what will happen:
1. the dog of a dev bites his hand and he can't finish the model of plane X, wich is a must
2. One dev has an horrible discussion with the girlfriend and then he can't finish the tank Y in time because he has depression
3. Somebody forget a stupid .con with 3 Kb's compiling the very final building and the whole mod crashes and cause hard disk implosions in customers
4. One hour before the oficial release the dev sending the build looses his brand awesome cable conection because his cousin forgot to pay the bills and he must run to the neighbour house to send it...he has a crappy 32k modem done in Czecoslovakia, indeed (no ofence to Czecoslovakia, you rock, hehe)
So...use the classics: When it's done
fans will say you are secretive biatches, but they will love you :D
Modding release words to live by. (Even if they are written in Spanglish :p )
Looks tight... can't wait!

The Missile will launch if it's not blown up in time - if it launches then the German side will lose the round. If you look at the screens that were posted you will notice the missile actually moving out of the launcher.

It's too bad you can't cut to a nuke explosion if the missile launches...if that was the case, I think I'd just pull up a lawnchair, sit on a rooftop and watch the fireworks.
I am so damn excited for this mod...BRING IT!! :)
PEACE
