Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

Taking a break? Erm, ok, but you haven't even released anything to take a break from. I wouldn't imagine DICE took a 'break' midway through development of BF2, or Valve 2/3rds into Half-Life 2.

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this post, but what the heck. Why are you adding loads and loads of vehicles, when really what people want is new features and game modes? One vehicle is the same as another as far as I'm concerned, bar a few numbers in the .con file, the Challenger tank is the same as the T90, etc etc.

I fear that you will miss your oppurtunity to grab an audience, and when the other big games release this year, you'll lose the BF2 crowd to the other games.

They're not taking a break from making it, just no weekly updates.

and i suppose the road up until this point was a sunny and refreshing one

try to keep in mind tht the people doing this mod are doing it on their own spare time... so while your sitting there playing, these guys are sweating over 3DS max and wordpad trying to get all this stuff ingame. combine that with a 40hr working week, a girlfriend/wife, drinks with the boys and the occassional trip to the gym and well, heck, after the amount of stuff they have produced they friggin well deserve a break...

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

The BF2 engine is nowhere near passe. People just like to bitch and moan in forums. It makes them feel like there so old school, that there already past being excited. Yet they still play the game constantly.

THe next battlefield looks an awful lot like the same engine, so dont expect anything to just disappear when it comes out, which wont be for quite a while.

Valve didnt take off time from Half Life 2? lol

How long did it take for that to hit the market? How many people had bought the game a year before they could actually play it? Of course they had millions of dollars, wharehouses full of SGI render farms, and unlimited recourses from every DEPT.

Theres a reason why most of us just arent done yet. POE, USI, DCON, EOD, and on and on. Nobody has released the full thing yet, so maybe its not being slack, but stuff you just wouldnt understand as an outsider.

Ok. What are you TALKING about? You think theyre just adding a few vehicle clones? No. Theyre adding MAPS, theyre adding, totally new vehicles with diffrent damages, almost everything is being reskinned from scratch, they ARE making diffrent game modes and diffrent systems (have you seen the video of PoE tanks?). Please don't judge a mod because of a few screen shots.

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

many guys don´t want to understand thta 90% of the work can´t be seen on ingamescreens and renderworks...

another aspect is that nobody from the modteams doing this as fulltimejob. It´s a hobby that we want to share with the community... so simple.

and for some guys who start flaming against me:
the ukrainien production of the shilka.

they have the ZSU-23-4 in service.

hope that POE continue ther good job...

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

Thanks for the commments guys, we appreciate the input. Comments about the shilka skin have been passed on to the skinner.

While we have taken a couple weeks off from newsupdates, we are still working at the same pace on the mod. We have been producing weekly updates since we started modding for BF2, thats nine months of updating our progress with massive updates every week.

Appreciate the support guys.

Oh, btw, we just havent showcased gamemodes yet, that doesnt mean we arent working on them. Wait til you see what we have done with the BF2 engine, you will be impressed.

Don't get me wrong, I am not having a go at modders or this mod', I loved PoE for BFV, I want this mod' to be good! Of course I do. It is always a good thing to discuss opinions, that was mine, and this it yours. No such thing as negative criticism, if they/we listen and take it on board to create a better product.

I appreciate it is a lot of hard work, that's why I made the post, I wouldn't want it all to be in vain.

ahem. read back through your original post and it seems more like a whinge than an opinion. I am sure that they are well aware of new games coming out but seriously - do you really think it is going to make a difference? the majority of people who enjoy the battlefield range love it because of its real world setting, and if you have a good look at what is coming up there is really no new game coming out that will tailor to this interest. Go back and read DNC_SYSEX's post - pretty much hits the nail on the head in regards to your opinion.

Re: Point of Existence 2 Mod Update

I sure hope it's the level of quality (or greater) than the BFV release. IMHO, PoE was better than BFV vanilla.

Oh, and that snow level looks outstanding!
