Point of Existence 2 Server Files Released

Re: Point of Existence 2 Server Files Released

**** that commander mode ****. I hated that since bf2 was made. I doubt it will work like no tank buster. I am sure you have to have a singal before even lauching. What army would some idiot launch arty into a random location with no idea what hes shooting at.
Commanders on every server use arty to launch on one person. That type of asset should be saved. Sometimes they even launch it in a middle of a squad. Example: Flag goes white, from one guy. We kill the guy on the ground, 5 seconds later the commander sees a white flag and puts arty on it. Result? We don't get the flag back because we were artyed by our own idiotic commander. 90% of your commanders do not work as a team. You request it on a squad of enemies he denies it and drops it on a lone guy running up the steps, and doesn't even kill the guy. Its almost as bad as some idiot lauching a tv guided missile into a group of infantry then turning around and see a vodnik and actually need the missile.

I'm kind of disappointed they are stringing it out like this. I hope it gets hyped up more, the more servers the better. Just don't like the wait for it. RELEASE NOW!

Re: Point of Existence 2 Server Files Released

That's why the Battlefield veterans don't like the new arty. Just because it's difficult to get done, doesn't mean it shouldn't be there. Making things over-simplified and easy forces a loss of the "magical" moments of the game.

Making things difficult in certain areas is what makes the game fun because you can actually become good at something. There are very few 1337 players in BF2 because they cannot realize the full potential of their 1337ness since everything is just too easy. This is why "frogging" and "fish flopping" is so prevailent ... it's the only thing that takes some effort when playing infantry (vehicles take no effort whatsoever).

EDIT: Who remembers practicing flying the Little Bird on Lost Village in DC? Diving into the city and flying through the streets (between buildings) at full speed. Now that was awesome!

agreed :)

You guys think adding assist points for the spotter will help it get used more? :p

Re: Point of Existence 2 Server Files Released

Yes, but it would be nice if the spotter could communicate whit the artillery officer whitout being in the same squad. Just by spotting they open up a channel.

But this is probobly "hardcoded" like Rhino likes to say

Re: Point of Existence 2 Server Files Released

Really nice, that arty system looked confusing (did he have to drag the box to the target? And he missed the first couple of shots?) oh well, i'll get to use it in sp mode to practice right?

Too bad you undermined your sound-guy with that crappy rock music, what's the point of the guy doing all the work for sounds if you're gonna overlay your videos with ****ty cliche music so we can't even hear what the game is like. But that's just my opinion....do what you guys want.

Fragtv video didn't work for me either, anyone managed to get that on youtube or something?

Edit: A way to prevent the arty-tank-thingy from becoming a 1337 in-visual-range tankbuster (basically a tank with one hit kill) would be to make it slow/weak, so that it won't get into the mix.

YES

my favourite addition to BF2 has always been the varios assist points you can get, damage assist, driver assist etc.

Point1.

It looks the same as Bf1942 arty, except its a top down view instead of an, above and towards target from the spotter.

If so, goes something like this -

Spotter spots target - arty guy estimates first shot > camera follows shot in, > arty guy adjusts elevation and windage and fires again > keeps doing this until target is destroyed (or in bf1942 spotter dies or timer runs out and needs respotted)

Point 2.

One of the PoE devs is trying to get the archive for the fragTV - think the link is too a live video feed.

Point 3.

Wouldnt be surprised if they follow the Bf1942 example again, of having arty slow and weak armoured as you say. Arty was more of an ambush tool for tank killing, where as a tank can manouvre better and kill arty with a low amount of hits.

Re: Point of Existence 2 Server Files Released

I don't really care if taht Artillery is going to be used as AT weapons, because That PzH2000 is so smoking HOt that you just have to love it!!!!!!!

PzH2000 actually reminds me of the "Maus"....

Re: Point of Existence 2 Server Files Released

Let's not forget that in real life certain mobile artillery is used as fortified anti tank cannot at times.

I'm 99% sure that the mobile artillery in POE will have a very slow turrent speed and long reload time... just like in POE1 and DC.

Re: Point of Existence 2 Server Files Released

1. Spotting for arty was great in back in the DC/DCX/1942/POE days.

2. Someone will be in the arty always waiting for a spot.

3. Who cares about points in a mod?

4. Play to win the map.

5. if there is going to be a "push/supply lines" type of game play arty will be used and important.

6. If you don't like things about mods play vanilla, or another mod you like.

7. Who cares if its used against a tank, don't they use arty to take out tank positions?
