Review: Point of Existance 2

Recently, I decided to try out one of the latest mods for BF2, which is POE2. This group of modders have had previous experence, with the Battlefield Vietnam, with the original POE. I was throurgly impressed with that mod, that raised the quality and experience of BF:V into a new level. I was expecting the same thing with POE2...

POE2 is set in a different conflict, after the previous one that pitted the Soviets vs the Americans in Africa. This time, the fighting is between the Ukrane, and Germany. The weapons selection, as well as the models were very good, though balance with the weapons may need to be tweaked slightly, the Ukranian Spec Ops gun was a tad too powerful....though it had less ammo than its German counterpart. The variety of vehcials are a decent selection. There are a few issues with the vehicals damaging themselves when going over small bumps, though that should be corrected in future versions.

Overall, I was impressed with the mod, though not as impressed as with the original one. This could be attributed to the fact that many of the features that first appeared with POE (Multiple Tank Shells, etc), but then again, simalar ideas have been implemented in other mods, making the neat things that orignally made POE neat, the same. POE2 is still a good mod, and is worth the extreme download (One Gig), which could be a pain for some. This could go on for a much longer than it is now, but I just wanted to sink into the basic details of the game, and get some interest into learning more, beause there are more details about it, as well as other features that are included, that I have not really mentioned, but would add on to this basic review. POE2 has the makings of excellent Mod, though the gameplay is similar to BF2, it brings some new life to the game play, with new weapons, as well as a change in environment.....the desert does get kind of boring after awhile. There are a few cosmetic details that need to be addressed, as well as balanced, but overall a good first rease for the mod. Additional details can be found at http://www.pointofexistence.com/
