    Point of Existence 2 Mod Update #88.5

    The Point of Existence 2 mod is back today with an update for their stats program. Here's what they had to say:
    The long awaited public PoEStats build is now officially ready to be released to Windows-based POE2 servers. We will be releasing a Linux version shortly, after some critical testing has taken place. We encourage you to download the ZIP file and install it on your servers as soon as possible.

    Download PoE2 Stats package Windows Server

    <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=http://images.totalbf2.com/news/PoELauncher-1.jpg"><img src="http://images.totalbf2.com/news/thumb_PoELauncher-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=http://images.totalbf2.com/news/PoELauncher-2.jpg"><img src="http://images.totalbf2.com/news/thumb_PoELauncher-2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>
    This release requires no changes for clients (players), only servers will need to run this package to send stats to our statistics servers. Clients can view thier statistics at the PoE Stats Website We encourage feedback about the system, please post your opinions,suggestions and ideas in the PoE2 Stats Forum.

    <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=http://images.totalbf2.com/news/PoEStats-23.jpg"><img src="http://images.totalbf2.com/news/thumb_PoEStats-23.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=http://images.totalbf2.com/news/PoEStats-3100.jpg"><img src="http://images.totalbf2.com/news/thumb_PoEStats-3100.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>
    At this point, however, there is not yet support for the BF2CC remote administration system. We hope to include this with our upcoming Linux release at which point we will also add such support to the Windows distribution.

    Stats = No more POE2 for me! If I wanted that type of game-play I woulda stuck with Vanilla!

    To bad you ruined your mod with stats, you guys have one of the best mods out there.

      Dont visit the stats site then :)

      This isnt ranks n unlocks, just a simple page that tracks statistics (kd ratio, etc).

        ^^^ OMG - How fickle are you, commando

        Awesome work POE - despite what some nubs may say well done on achieving a working stats system. Just another feature that "professionalises" your mod even further - nice work!

          Even 1942 had stats.

            Sounds like you're confusing "stats" with "ranks"... This system has nothing to do with ingame medals, ribbons or unlocks for that matter. It's simply a system that tracks the time you play and collects stats that is gathered on poestats.com where you can view it. There will not be any stats collected for you if you do not sign up on that site first, so if you don't like stats then just don't sign up there...

              This is absolutely no different than BFTracks for BF1942.

                I would have liked more focus on your physics of planes and helos TBH. BF2 needs a lot of improvement in that area, not just a face lift. Then again, I never looked at my BFtracks for 1942 either.

                Good work for the people who are really interested in stats, I am sure it wasn't easy to do. I am with Commando though. I haven't been playing POE2 anyways, so I cant really quit.

                For some reason it seems like the team is really just trying to get a company to hire them, but I am an American capitalist, so I cant really hate on trying to get the green, lol.

                I just wish there was a more underground feel to this team, seems more like a young "Bill Gates" crew. You have the popularity, but then again, Ashlee Simpson sold over a million copies, lol. You guys are ruling the bf2 mod scene, I am interested to see if DCON can really change the gameplay back, and bring an exciting feel back. If they don't, the Modern Combat mod race is already over, and POE2 has definitely won.

                  Your entire post has no grounding in reality.

                  The fact you make these comments and you dont even play PoE2 is just as absurd as your tenuous grip on the realities of modding.

                  PoE have two guys whose only job is to make this stats system and other such technical goodies. Them working on this stats system in no way slows down any other part of the development process. If the jets are not updated, its not because these guys worked on the stats system, it's because PoE decided not to, or decided they had other priorities, or just didnt think of it. It is not because they brought on two guys to make a stats system.

                    Do you have much playtime at all on PoE2 havok?

                    Just wondering as Ive played it quite a bit, and enjoy the various changes and differences to the aircraft in PoE2. They have also redressed the balance with good AA that stops planes and helis whoring too much.

                    As for excitement, ya get quite a bit of that in PoE2 also, some great maps and vehicles, coupled with more accurate and deadly handheld weapons, make it a good step away from vanilla.

                      I love it! I was not excited about stats but am ok if it is like BFtracks. POE is the best mod out. Only other mod of this quality is FH2. USI is also a great mod but I would have to say they are #3 behind POE2 and FH2.

                      Any idea when the next release will be? Will we see some of the equipment shown in old updates in this next release?

                        I do appologize, and will continue on then with the mod. I shoulda looked into it more before opening my big mouth ....OOPPPS!

                          Isn't it great to have an opinion without even tried it out and also to be in agreement with some that is going to quit paying it, without even have started!

                          No offense Mr. Havock;, try it out and get an opinion, That'll get you some facts to share.

                          Call it ranked or stat tracked, there is a bunch of people that think POE2 is a great mod that has more beat in it than vanilla.

                          G'day
