Point of Existence (a BF2 mod)

[MoocherChiken]

http://www.pointofexistence.com/

I showed Spring this site a while back, but I wanted everyone to be able to see this. Once this mod comes out, I will be running it 24/7. Why? Because I played the BFV version of this mod, and these guys did an awesome job with their renders and game balance. A couple of the devs actively participate in their forums and lead discussions on where the mod should go. It's one of the better mods I've seen in the whole BF series, and they actually listen to the BF community.

Here is the IP and port for their ranked server. Gonna go try it out tonight.

Here's a screenshot from the BF:V version of this mod. The jet is Russian, so there's good chance you'll see it in PoE:2.

Hummm somthings not correct about that pic... shaders perhaps but I could have swore the mod tools gave you the shaders in that 700 meg pack. Probably wrong though as I havent even looked at the modding of this game yet. Will do in a month or 2.

By the way this mod looks very promising. How many pollys on a nomal bf2 aircraft, compaired to that? Looks very low polly count compaired to the stock bf2 stuff

Here's a new render for Inspector, the beloved Froggy.

Remember the Little Bird from DC and DCX? Well, it's in PoE:2!!!

Other things that recently made it into the mod:
Mig 25
Su 24
SA7 (Yes, an Anti Aircraft CLASS)
BMP-1
BMP-2 (a couple variants)
Euro Chopper
Nh-90 transport chopper

have they released that mod allready? Bloody hell Ive been working for like 6 months on my mod and it wont see the light of day for at least another month when i convert all them blasted sound efx in there.

Must be a very tallented guy behind that as the amount of scripting, modeling, uv`ing and texturing would be enough to send anyone to a rubber padded cell for a month of zappo shock treatment

No they haven't, it's just that these things are "officially" in the mod. There is actually a whole team of modelers, skinners, mappers, and coders that make the PoE team. So they can get quite a few things done in a short amount of time. There have been hints that this will be released in the next two months (Before the BF2 expansion).

In game movie teaser.

[Snake-Chiken]

Very nice, should be awsome when they polish off the ruff edges etc. Amazing the stuff they have done so far!

[Geordie-Chiken]

Looks sweet man... Wondering if this mod will work on Ranked servers as well though... as could cause lots probelms if not...

People like there Ranks, but not only that, if they like Mod so much All the money people payed for servers is going to be a waist...

Tired of having your ground based missiles go off into oblivion not even tracking that jet you were locked on to? Here's some help:

Early Warning Radar (http://www.pointofexistence.com/newsimages/News50/EWR.jpg)

To top it off, for their 2nd anniversery as a development team, they released another video:
Teaser #2 (http://www.pointofexistence.com/newsimages/Teasers/PoE2_Teaser02.zip)

[MoocherChiken]

WOOT!

A release CAN'T be much longer now...

These are exciting times as we are happy to announce that we released our first internal build to our test team to begin “level design testing" on Saturday. Currently there are seven maps on the test server and as we continue our development process some more might be added for our fist release.

The team has gone through our list of items to develop and have decided that it’s time for “content cutoff” and nothing else will be added to .1 except for the previously approved items. The graphics department is still working hard on providing additional weapons/vehicles for everyone’s enjoyment so stay tuned to our weekly updates to view more things that will be added.

[MoocherChiken]

OMFG!

The coders have been working hard on customizing the mod. Guess what they've done?

I think a few people are gonna have a mess in their pants...

[NemesisChiken]

Since when could you zoom in a tank ?

[MoocherChiken]

Since when could you zoom in a tank ?

Since PoE added that feature. :D

[Havok]

With a zoom you guys might be able to actually hit something!! LOL! :assshaking:

Nice find there Mooch!

[SmuttyChiken]

Since when could you zoom in a tank ?

Uhm ... sorry Nem but if you couldn't zoom in a Tank in real life then ... well .... uhm ....

*You know the position ... so assume it soldier ...

"HEAD BETWEEN YOUR KNEES AND KISS YOUR ARSE GOODBY .... "

Magnification is something that has been in a gunners sights for a looooooooong time mate ....

It has always been the training of an anti-tank soldier that he would probably only get one shot off, so make it a good one ... I find in game it is sometimes very hard to see the bugger that is shooting anti-tank at you .... which shouldn't be the case ...

[NemesisChiken]

I was referring more to in BF2, but yeah in RL - thats a whole other story

:firing:

[MoocherChiken]

WE'RE IN PoE:2!!!!!!!!!

:D

[NemesisChiken]

LMAO - we gotta make a MAP !!

[LoneStarChiken]

Two shovels and a pitchfork???

WTF... is this Green Acres?



Hmm... actually, what a perfect setting to put the Chikens. http://hosthideout.com/images/smilies/smokinchikin.gif

[MoocherChiken]

It's called "attention to details" which is why I'm gonna go play in their server tonight.

[SmuttyChiken]

Just seen the Coop ... LOL .... nice ....

Does this mod mean you can't play on the mainstream servers?

[MoocherChiken]

New Teaser video. I had to give it a new topic so Inspector wouldn't miss it. :)

http://www.chikens.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=60378#60378

More screenies of the Mi-24 Hind attack helo, which will be able to carry 4 passengers. BF2 has the max number of players in a helo fixed a 6, so they could only have the pilot, gunner, and 4 passengers.

Tired of desert maps? How about a SNOW map for a change? They released details of a map that takes place in the Ukraine winter (also the map used to make the most recent teaser). They have also re-skinned the German troops so they blend into the background.

Oh, and the developers aren't ALL business...

[MadCatChiken]

[MoocherChiken]

Umm, MadCat, if you actually READ the information on the site, you would find out that the RS-12M Topol mobile nuclear launch vehicle is the objective in the "Objective" game mode. You can't actually fire it, you blow it up or defend it, depending on the team you're on. You'd also learn that the mod is fairly close to releasing, they're just waiting to stress test it with patch 1.4.

Speaking of a release, TotalBF2 did a review.

Here's a video:

[MadCatChiken]

damn no nukes. This sucks.

/me kicks the person who decided to make an objective in teh face.

[Clepto Chiken]

Actually I believe there is a mod out there with nukes, but for the life of me I don't remember what it is.

Looking good, Does the Hind D have the ability to hold troops...nevermind just read the article

And did I see a Stinger missle system in there?

[MoocherChiken]

Yup, there will be pickup kits that are handheld AA. :D

[InspectorChiken]

Bawk!!!

Well it looks like it is out. The file is more than 1 gig and that is zipped.

Madcat if you want to fire a big ass missile get Battlefield 1942 and then download the Desert Combat mod. The DC mod has a SCUD missile on the Iraqui side. It does a ton of damage and can fly clear across the map.
