Welcome to Point of Existence's 105th news post.

We are proud to announce that we have reached a point in our development where we are ready to give a date for our next release. We have been working nearly a year to introduce elements of the United States Marines, as well as addressing balance issues and details throughout the rest of the mod.

POE would like to invite you to our release party, Friday July 20th, 12 noon EST (5pm GMT).
#pointofexistencemod on Gamesurge using a IRC chat client, or join on our java irc page Here.

We will have a developer chat and server release on Wednesday, July 18th at 8pm EST (1am GMT, Thursday).
Developers will be on hand in our IRC channel to answer questions about the mod, We have even heard there may be some prizes.

Coldfussion has been working on a couple of videos to showoff new systems we will be introducing in this release. The first video focuses on our new Tomahawk Missile. This is a new toy for the US that should make life interesting for the Ukrainians. I think the missile speaks for itself.

This left many of our scopes and sights with a rather unfinished look. D_FAST has been working on a new set of sites for the effected weapons. Here are a couple examples of his work, the Vepr and M4 sights:




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...
