    What is Point of Existence?

    Point of Existence (PoE) is a free, high-quality mod for the Battlefield series of games. Specifically, PoE:1 is for Battlefield Vietnam, and PoE:2 is for Battlefield 2. The action revolves around near-future conflicts in areas such as Africa and Europe, with featured armies including those of the United States, Russia, Germany, and the Ukraine. The scope of the mod is that of a total conversion, with new models, skins, sounds, maps, and gameplay modes.

    Check out the Official Point of Existence Website for further details, downloads, and media.

    Tactical Gamer hosts a 64-player Point of Existence 2 server (among others), so be sure to join us online for some great tactical team play.

    FYI:

    Attention PoE Servers - Point of Existence Forum

    They appear to only find servers with "POE2" listed in their names. No clue what they are testing, just thought I would share.

    Check out the arty movie near the bottom of yesterdays news post. The Old School arty system is going to be the highlight of this game for me. YouTube - POE2 Artillery Trailer PS- Judging by posts on their forums a lot of people who are interested in this game really like teamwork.
    The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving.

    Noted.

    I just updated our server name to include "POE2" rather than "POE 2" so it should be included in their scans. Hopefully.

    Re: What is Point of Existence?

    I expected some deep philosophy in this thread. What is the point of existence?

    The answer, of course, is to deliver devastating artillery barrages against your opponents from your concealed location.
    Peace through fear... since 1947!

    I thought the point of existence was to use the point of your knife to end the existence of your enemies.

    It's bold because we have the Community package with Game-Monitor. They poll us more frequently, we show up bold, and we get more options with the signature/status images.

    We've also got an XML feed of all the data and an SDK that can be used to embed it into the site. Now I just need to find someone who wants to put it all together!

    I already voted for the server. I'm a registered user, so it counts to! It's at 12, go and vote.

    Re: What is Point of Existence?

    Apophis, what is your goal with the XML/SDK stuff? I wouldn't mind helping. I just don't know if I'm qualified. I'm sure at least a few other people are in the same boat.
