    Point of Existence 2 Development Has Ended

    The Point of Existence 2 mod team brings us some unfortunate news today.
    Welcome back for a very tardy #129th Point of Existence News update.

    Point of Existence 2 has been in development for over four years now. We feel it is time to announce that we are ceasing active development for the Battlefield 2 engine. We want to thank our fellow developers, testers, fans and all of the sites that have supported our mod over the years. This has been a work of love for many of us and we hope that you continue to enjoy what we have created. We intend to support any technical issues that may arise from the (cough) upcoming BF2 patch and will respond quickly if the need arises.

    Every Tuesday and Friday nights Tactical Gamer is packing the house with PoE! Each Tuesday and Friday TG packs their server and runs many of the larger maps as well. Its a great time to come out and support the mod and even frag a few PoE Devs. TG is also organizing scrimmages every two weeks along with special events to showcase some of the other game modes PoE2 has to offer such as Frontline and Nuke.

    We are feeling a little nostalgic and decided that it might be time to revisit PoE1. We are working on an updated final release of our epic modification for Battlefield Vietnam. We encourage you to dust off those old disks and find your serial numbers, or in the extreme go out and spend $10 and pick up a new copy! This release will have greatly improved COOP as well as fixing some long lost bugs. We'd like to thank Dnarmo and Legion for their outstanding work in adding bot support to PoE1!

    Server owners who are interested in hosting PoE1 servers, please contact us and we will make some arrangements so you can be ready for our pending release.

    Stop by our forums and lets begin a discussion about our next project!
    It's sad to see a BF2 mod team call it quits, but it's good to see that they're still together and focused on other projects now. You can read and comment on the news post on the PoE forums here. Best of luck to the team in all their future endeavors.

    No this cant be I did wonder why there website has been so quiet for the last few months though... and now we know.

    IMHO this is what BF2 should have been in the first place. Well balanced (where no class dominates now the vass is sorted) with a diversity of maps and equiptment.

    Its sad to see it end but all things end eventually and I look forward to the next BF related modding project you guys put youur selves to. :)

              I will cry myself to sleep tonight. I have been playing POE since their first release with POE1 and loving every minute of it.
              I remember many straight hours playing this mod and many a night loosing sleep.

              I am sorry to hear the development wil continue on POE1, I do not see myself installing BF:V.
              I would have hoped they would port the POE1 maps to POE2 but that is probably not happen.

              Thank´s for some great times and best of luck in your future endevours.

                    I've spent many hours playing this mod as well. It is disappointing to see them stop developement on the BF2 game engine, but at the same time. It does not surprise me.

                    With the lack-luster support that EA has given us mod teams, along with just how BF2 was structured with ranking and other things. EA really cut into how well mods survived and how well mods were percieved.

                    POE2 sure had alot of neat ideas and has alot of neat things within it. However, for some reason, like EoD. We just can't seem to find a big enough player base that will support it constantly like some other mods. There are some really great mods out too.. Pirates, FH2 to name a few. Even they do not have "large" player bases.

                    PR, by far, has been the most successful "long-term" modification, but it caters to an entirely different game player.

                    Even I am at the cross-roads with Eve of Destruction Developement. I will probably put out one more release of the mod and I too, will probably look at some other game engine to build upon.

                    To the POE2 crew.. While you may be closing the door on this chapter of your mod. I thank you for all the support, knowledge, tools, etc. All of the great things that you have bestowed upon the BF2 community while you modded within it. Without your genorosity, alot of us and many others, would still be trying to figure things out.

                    Thank you guys and good luck in whatever game engine you decide to tread.

                    Trahn.
                    Developer - Eve of Destruction.

                          The finest mod for the BF2 engine that kept the same fast paced game play...a very sad day indeed.....this truly was what BF2 should of been but the whole rank system pretty much killed the mod community. lets just hope dice doesn't screw over the moders with bad company 2 by not providing them the proper tools because that's our last hope for any true "battlefield" game in our near future.

                              a special thanks to (POE) D-fast for all his help with tank exporting,and thanks to (POE) jilted for all his help with static objects,and another thankyou to the POE dev who modified the 3dsmax bf2 tools.
