Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

I like the map but something that is lacking in alot of mods including the ones I enjoy and follow is the fact that an outpost should make sense.

I agree. And while it may not be exactly what you were refering to, one thing I dabbled around in when I tried custom mapping for BFV PoE was the illusion of objectives.

One of my maps featured an American beach landing and infiltration of a Russian industrial town. Many of my flags had special purposes, and did not effect the ticket bleed what-so-ever. They could only be capped by the American team, and once controlled, could not be taken back by the Russians. Many of them spawned a limited amount of certain vehicles, or alternative weapons and other supplies. There was aslo dug in stationary artillery, that once captured, would be destroyed.

But the main goal was a computer terminal in a large warehouse that had been set fire to. It had very low visibility, and the fire did quite alot of damage. It was alot of fun watching people traverse the place, trying to avoid the fire, and other people using the low visibility to their advantage and putting a knife into someone's back.

But once the computer was captured, the ticket count dropped like a rock.

If only I could get the hang of the new editor. Sometimes I wish they would have just stuck with an updated version of Battlecraft. :p

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

sorry for misconstruing you other guys' conversation.

No, I owe you one actually. Should you ever find yourelf stuck in a similar discussion, please allow me to return the favor.

I thought mapping was the easier part of Modding, till I saw what our map guys go through. Big thanks go to all the mappers on all the teams, they can make or break a MOD.

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

But its not even inspired by it.

Just because they've only just shown it off doesnt mean it was only just made.

There is far more detail in this PoE map than there was in that OPK map.
Many of the OPK maps don't even have low detail textures, not to mention the terrain in this map has less jagged parts which means more time has been put into it. The OPK map is mostly randomly generated terrain with a few roads cut into it.

To create a map like the PoE one shown here with all this detail takes far longer than the few weeks since OPK's release.

I am sorry, but you're just going to have to accept that you're wrong.


Good work PoE, looks great, looking forward to playing it :)

I'm used to see stupid flaming posts from FH fankiddies everywhere, but seeing the same behaviour from a FH developer is new to me. Poor FH team....

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

I don't see anything wrong with Augustus's post. Not really a flame at all

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

That wasn't a flame,that was a fact. Any true mapper knows that it takes quite some time to perfect a map and bring it up to the quality of the one depicted. If I recall correctly, Augustus made several of the PoE maps, and all of them where liked by the public. As for what he said about the OPK map, its true, non of the OPK maps have the quality of the poe2 map screenshots I have seen so far.
You sir just showed how much you do not know about what it takes to put a mod together.

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

Let me at least try to put this stupid "opinion" argument to rest. An opinion, according to Dictionary.com is: (among other definitions)

"A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof"

I could very well say, for instance, that it was my "opinion" that compact discs are made from platinum, the most expensive of metals, hence their awesome reflective power. Would I be correct in saying so? No. Is it an opinion? Yes. Can it be refuted via externally verifiable evidence? Yes.

End of discussion.

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

I cant argue with that, or with global warming, theres too much Evidence. Or with the look of everything that PoE puts out.

Oh, I was just responding to chewbaccas question about POE's forums, not about when the mod is to be completed. :)
