I havent heard these in a while... maybe i'm used to it, but I do remember when it was quite annoying, i just dont remember hearing that beep anymore.

_Commander no longer able to use player controlled artillery (wont be able to turn the turret or fire the gun)

awww, that was really usefull when your team wont give you spots :[ (usually happens to me whenever not in a TG server)

oh well...

**BHack** · 09-18-2006, 09:22 AM

no more commander arty as well.

Worthwhile changes these are.

They've posted a demo of the smoke burst and wire-guided missle on the IFVs, as well as previews of a new map.

wwwwwwwoah. that smoke? i can hear my framerate hitting the ground....

**PhoenixxFire** · 09-18-2006, 08:59 PM

Holy Smokes!............

Sounds like some good changes are coming, and that map actually looks like a sort of Objective oriented map. Controlling that whole compound from the assault of the other team. It actually reminds me, a lot, of Warlord (for SF).

The smoke artillery will be insane in maps like orel and especcialy fallen. A good CO could poise 2 squads to attack, say, crash site. Smoke the area, defenders crap their pants, flag is yours.

**FBmantis** · 09-18-2006, 09:38 PM

As commander it will make for great diversions.

I just hope the reload time is pretty high...I would hate to see smoke all over the place once every minute....

All good on the patch it really fixes some of the problems, but they could have added pilot-controlled weapons on the Hip.

If Operation Flashpoint could have Hips with 30mm cannons and rockets, why not in PoE? Will it make it too overpowered?

**Lekdevil.NL** · 09-18-2006, 11:30 PM

The wire-guided missle is actually trailing a wire. The geek part of me finds that extremely cool. The other part too, by the way.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olesko_Castle thats the actual castle in reality. Looks more like a mansion in the in-games screenshots.

But the smell would be horrible.

It should be fun. I can't wait to see a smoke + 6 katana-wielding attackers.

Seriously, it should make for some interesting attacks. Smoke over the road and 3 tanks roll in. Or defensive smoke, to let defenders circle the attackers.

Yeah man. I get decent performance with most settings to Medium... but when I'm in smoke I get under ~10fps or so :/. Waiting on DX10 to come out to buy a new rig. Transitional periods are no fun

.

Let's hope it can't be spammed otherwise I'll become useless.

Video of Smoke Barrage: http://www.pointofexistence.com/news...smokeburst.zip

Looks intense. I just hope low-end pc's will have no trouble with that.
