Starting things off, we have noticed many new fan made maps popping up for PoE2. In an effort to support the mappers who made these, we are putting together a small map pack of fan made maps and some BF2 ported maps updated with the USMC.
The first map from the pack that we are going to show is by Jaws and called No Mans Land. Jaws has done a terrific job with this one and the screen shots speak a thousand words.
Next, we have a map by Outlaw entitled Frostvillage. I think the pictures and name should tell you exactly what this map is all about.
That’s all for this week, but stay tuned soon for more info on our map pack and new features heading your way in PoE2.
POE2 would like to welcome you to our 120th news update.
This week we will be showcasing some of the details that D_FAST has been working on. D_FAST has been one of the driving forces behind POE since the POE1 days. He has done coding, modeling, statics and quite a bit of concept work. This showcase of his attention to detail is testament to his work ethic.
A new member to our forums, Shmidt recently brought examples of tank huds to our attention. This inspired D_FAST to revamp the appearance of our heavy tank huds. In addition to the obvious visual changes, if you watch the movie you will find that he has also adjusted the hit indicator to better blend with the new huds. We have also fixed the issue of your hud disappearing when you face into the sun as shown in the final screen shot in this series.
FBMantis brought the issue of our pickup kits icons not being represented in the squad window properly. D_FAST took this as a challenge to come up with a new set of icons for our numerous pickup kits. As you can see in the following screen shots, the Mortar now has its own symbol. For anti-material sniper and heavy anti tank, we left them with the original icons for the kits and gave the standard kits new icons. The standard sniper kit is represented by a scoped rifle icon and the standard AT kit is represented by a mine icon (Since the heavy AT kits don't have them).
POE2 would like to welcome you to our 119th news update.
We would like to start where we left off in our last update. Daarken and our test team have assembled a movie showcasing Greasy Mullets upcoming map "Matador". This is a massive armor battle set in rural Ukraine. Engineers better polish off those wrenches.
Ga-Knomboe Boy is hard at work on a new map tentatively named "Green Acres". Expect the sunny fields of this map to run red with combined arms goodness. I will let the images speak for themselves.
Our Australian player base has had very few server choices. Australian Allied Forces is hoping to change that with a POE2 tournament. Follow this link to find out more about how you can get involved.
