Welcome back to another PoE2 news.

This week we are excited to announce the date for our next release!

We will be releasing our server files Wednesday November 28th and then the actual mod on Friday November 30th!!! We have jammed packed this release with 6 new maps, tweaks and optimizations to existing maps, more Single Player support, bug fixes, and even a few new toys!

-Server Files Wednesday, November 28th
-Client Files Friday, November 30th

Sabre is back!

One of our most loved maps of PoE1, Operation Sabre, by Augustus has been ported to PoE2! This map focused on combined arms combat with planes, helos, and a massive amount of tanks all going head to head over 3 flags. Augustus has done an excellent job on breathing new life into his PoE1 classic and we hope you enjoy it as much as we have in testing.

One of our new toys is the Littlebird MH-6, which will debut on one of our new maps Raid on Kerch. The map forces the American team to insert into a city via helicopter with NO PARACHUTES. This bird and a good pilot will be your best friend!

~The POE Team Signing off…

IMO, this is going to be their best release yet! They did a huge optimization of Assault on Odessa... can't wait to play all the different versions of that without lag. I'm also excited to play a much improved version of Rivne - I miss that map, and the new flag layouts are going to make game play MUCH better IMO. Plus there's six GREAT new maps... some really well made combined-arms maps, great urban/infantry fighting, a map featuring lots of armor, and an air-heavy map to boot!

I'm sure details (screenshots, previews, videos, etc) will be coming over the next few days!

I am ready!

**draeh** · 11-26-2007, 01:24 PM

Count me in.

boudreux · 11-26-2007, 01:26 PM

fantastic. I'll be ready.

**TheFatKidDeath** · 11-26-2007, 01:37 PM

I have not played POE in awhile - this should bring me back into the fold!

**[tR]Greasy_mullet** · 11-26-2007, 01:55 PM

I am soooo ready! Odessa was not the only map optimized in this release but it is one of the most drastic optimizations as far as performance goes. Others that got tweaks for optimization were Dnister River & Dnister City (WIP New map of an old flavor), Dnipro Sunrise, Rivne, and Crimea to name some of the others.

We should have more news on exactly which maps are coming new this release but so far you know at least 3 of the 6.

I'm looking forward to this!

NorCalRoach · 11-26-2007, 03:10 PM

This will be a good reason for the 33rd to have a family reunion. We dominated POE2 before, we might as well dominate it again...

Looking forward to it.

Lt.Carman · 11-26-2007, 03:36 PM

Yeah! Finally! But then again, there will be a comeback in the bunnyhopping, no teamwork pubbie players sadly, but still looking forward to it!

**UnDeaD77** · 11-26-2007, 03:41 PM

Maybe I'll make one of those famous appearances.

why "sadly"? This is a great opportunity to show them what they're missing out on!!! Remember, nearly all of us were no-teamwork bunnyhoppers before we found TG

This weekend, let's make sure we spread the love! Don't join a squad if you see 3-4 TG guys already in there... Instead, start or join a different squad and get some quality VOIP teamwork happening! Some of these new maps (and many of the current maps) are pretty epic and can be amazing with a bucnh of quality squads on both teams. Let's make it a goal to get at least 4 TG-lead squads on each side...
