Re: what do you think

POE2 remakes BF2 while keeping the fast arcade gameplay. I love the mod for its infantry, armor and heli aspect. All of these require the player to completely ditch BF2 concept. Armor being the hardest. Unfortunately they are still unable to solve BF2s worst aspect, heatseeking homing missiles. There are certain inbalances in air to air, mainly stemmed from the missiles unreliability to be predictable in its hits or misses. Anyone disliking BF2 air to ground aspect needs to have a look at POE2 as it has pretty much balaned it out.

But still, I wouldnt advise POE2 to heli or jet wh0res. The first thing is- theres no competition. Once youve thrown a couple of dozen of hours into the game, and yo were great in BF2 air, youre dominating in POE2. When it comes to jets, that is. I spent quite some time in WattWuermer server and I was literally the "King of the skies", only time I got shot down, was by lucky lock ons and STA 1 shot 1 kill missiles from the MTBL. Theyve done some tweaking, and the unreliability of flares in POE2 means that if you get locked on to with the long range missiles, its game over in most cases. Even then, I just adapted to it (admittedly it took me quite some time) and the rest is history, for the competition, that is.

When it comes to helos, its significantly harder for a BF2 pilot to adapt. Mainly because helos in POE2 are significantly harder to use due to their differences in every possible aspect. And Im not talking about the Cobra vs Havoc kind of difference. It goes way beyond that. I believe that if a BF2 chopper pilot goes to POE2, apart from using the EuroCopter (which flies like a Havoc actually, almost spot on), when it comes to maneuverability and armament use, the pilot has to put in a TON load of hours to become good at the trade. Thing is, with the lack of servers, and same names on every server, pilot might get bored from it.

Even then, POE2 is basically a "fixed BF2" and does what no other mod did. It took BF2, and fixed all of its aspects, while maintaining the arcade gameplay. It fixed infantry, it fixed ground to air and vice versa and it added a lot of different vehicles. Still, it takes quite some time to adapt to the changes implemented, and its my firm belief that this is what ultimately caused the mod to go down.

thanks, will probably give most big mods a try, vanila would probably be fun again since i haven't played in a while but that wouldn't last long


I have vista tho, will try to install the game now, wish me good luck :salute:

I will download other mods in due course.

Re: what do you think

AIX is fun off line too but the online I never felt it was as good as hard justice was.

Actually I love the POE2 choppers way more then BF2 ones, they are all different and handle differently, for example the hind is really forgiving while the us chopper is a dog to pull up once your in a dive.

you also have quite competent gunners as well, and unlike in bf2 its a lot harder/ impossible imo to solo them. I also seem to hit more with the tvs for some reason.

Tanks rock, the ukrain one with tv missiles on it is a beast.

I agree with the planes, the hit detection is sometimes wtf-able, For me all the german planes might as well be shooting duds they miss all the time. The UKR ground bomber, (not frog foot) seems to be the only one I can bomb in consistently for some reason. The US raptor thing? really nice for air to air but if your on a good team you have to wait ages for a target, and with no bombs there isnt much else you can do.

Infantry rocks though, fallen is just awesome, so is the semi-night map with the long road running through it, silenced spec ops destroys that map.

Re: what do you think

yea I might actually go into mods, AIX looks fun, might even try PR

I have a 6mb connection now so Im not scared of gigantic files

btw sloi I thought you gave xfire a brake but then I realized you removed me from the list, I was in teh shox :shock:

If your gonna download PR, read the manual:) Plz:cry:

Re: what do you think

:dead: I can only imagine what it must be like for some one who has never played PR to jump right in now, thankfully i played pre 0.4 death lasers m4 wars so it just got built up/

PR is a nice mod and you should also check it out too, although its really only fun if your in a good voip squad imo as otherwise its a bit of a raping if your team has no team work, when it works its just so good though. ups>downs
