PoE:2 News 103

Daarken · 06-26-2007, 10:07 PM

Welcome back to another PoE news update. First off we have a brand new video to showcase of a map Jilted has been working on for a long time. The map, Olesko Castle, is an infantry guys dream with long corridors and lots of options for attacking or defending inside this vast castle. Illicitfilms has been working on this video he made with our testers and we hope you enjoy it.

Not only does this map have normal conquest mode but Seigman has produced a brand new game mode that can be mixed into regular rotation. Here is a brief description of our new game mode.

in•cur•sion - noun
raid: a brief, hostile, and usually sudden invasion of somebody's territory.

This is an incursion map. The attacking team must take and hold one of two flags within the allotted time or destroy the defending team. Defending team must guard both flags from attack or destroy the attacking team. You will only have one life per round.

We also want to thank all those who submitted Billboards for the PoE Alienware Billboard contest and all the fans who came out to vote. The billboards were creative, well done, and in some cases very amusing! Overall we were very impressed with the work that was done. While the fans picked the top 3, the Dev team picked from the remaining ones which was their favorite and that billboard will also get a spot in our next release. All winners will receive prizes from Alienware and inclusion in our next release!

Rick Slick -1

Pusherman -1

Damien -3

Pjertan -3 (Dev Pick)

We would also like to announce we have hit a major milestone in our next release. We will be compiling last minute information in the coming days and hope to give you something more to look at near the end of the week.

We are still in need of 3Dmax coders, modelers, and skinners. If you have what it takes, please Apply Here.

Thats all for now, POE Team signing off...

Thanks for adding a new mode, along with all the new maps! I hope we can make a huge push, and get the population back to server capacity.

that movie is badass.... fitting for that map and game mode.

**asch** · 06-27-2007, 12:04 AM

I look forward to the new game mode. One life per / round is going to make some people really have to think and work together to stay alive.

**WhiskeySix** · 06-27-2007, 12:06 AM

^^^ Yup. Leave your inner rambo at home.

Not One Of Us · 06-27-2007, 12:37 AM

Excellent, the entry I was apart of (Damien-3) made it.

very nice! Cant wait to hear Lucky begging for a revive on that new game mode

**WhiskeySix** · 06-27-2007, 01:01 AM

After playing Olesko as a tester, I can say with confidence that there will be a LOT of begging for revives

If I have a good medic in my squad, I won't ever NEED to be revived!

true, but most of the 5th that I see on when I'm playing use the spec ops kit. (I mean mostly in the early evening)

**Sawviper** · 06-27-2007, 09:31 AM

That's just because MoreGooder is standing behind them paddling them before they hit the ground.

Oh, Ikill, you know I can't hit the street I'm standing on with those spec ops guns. But you, you I'm looking for, lol. I'll be swinging my newest fave: the German assault rifle.

And I'm really excited about 1 life per round. Been waiting for that for awhile. "The Hunted" scenario that we played (where we got one life) was the most tense gaming I've done in a LONG time.

they need to release this thing like next month or there won't be anyone left to play it the poe server dies more and more with each passing week hell this week at prime time I've seen as little as 12 people playing. With INS coming out this weekend I don't know if I will even be interested in poe by the time the update is out
