As many of you already know,
Point of Existence is a mod for Battlefield 2. This marks an exciting time for Tactical Gamer, since it's the first Full Conversion mod for Battlefield 2 and suits our unranked servers perfectly.
The PoE2 team have done an amazing job with their mod, set in modern-day Eastern Europe:
After a long, bloody war in the Sudan, the governments of the United States and Russia struck an uneasy cease-fire over the fate of Africa and its burgeoning industry. This peace would be short lived, for to the north a new conflict was brewing. Ukraine, a former satellite state of the Soviet Union, sought to gain back the power from which it once reveled in.

Point of Existence Story here.
Features include:
- Squad-controlled artillery. No more point-and-click. Artillery will need to be positioned and called using spotters.
- UCB death-zones. The ability to create an restricted zone in the UCB which limits the time opponents can spend there, inflicting damage if they stay too long.
- Shoulder-mounted Stinger missiles.
... and much more ...
