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.
As the snow fell in a heavy midwinter storm, Ukrainian troops moved towards the border of Belarus. Without warning, Ukrainian troops attacked with a speed and effectiveness not seen since the blitzkrieg of WWII. With their aggressive tactics, the Ukrainian army reached the capital of Belarus in a matter of weeks. The lightly armed and ill-prepared Belarusian army could do little to stop this onslaught of men and metal.
The fall of Minsk signaled the end of resistance throughout Belarus. The bordering countries of Ukraine and Belarus began to wonder if they were as vulnerable to occupation as Belarus had been.
The United Nations condemned these attacks as unjust and illegal but was unable to pass a mandate to take action against the expansionist aims of Ukraine. The UN's inability to act upon the actions of the Ukrainian army only strengthened Ukraine's resolve that they could not easily be stopped. Six months came to pass with no military action against Ukraine but rumors had started that Ukraine was systematically killing their former political competitors. With no clear evidence of the assassinations, the United Nations was still reluctant to take action.
As time passed, more evidence surfaced of executions, illegal imprisonment, and torture; however, it was all unconfirmed information until a Kramaerican Photo reconnaissance satellite passed overhead. The satellite caught pictures of mass graves where the Ukrainian army had been dumping the bodies of political enemies and what appeared to be unarmed civilians.
This information was promptly forwarded to the UN Security Council. With an unprecedented 93% majority, a mandate was drafted and signed. Troops would be sent into Ukraine and Belarus to bring those who had committed these crimes to justice. In an underground bunker, military advisers and command staff from around the world met to plan the attack.
The principal military force to go into Ukraine would be led by Germany and the United States. They planned to hit Ukraine first in the hopes that if the Ukrainian public found out about the war crimes their government had committed in their name, the citizens would lay down their arms and greet the American and German troops as liberators. The plan consisted of a massive airborne assault and armored spear head from Poland. The German forces would rush to Kiev in the heart of the country, while the United States protected their northern flank from the Ukrainian troops based in Belarus.
On a dim night in September, the invasion of Ukraine was started. Through the darkness came ten thousand airborne troops, dropping from the sky like a heavy rainstorm.
The destiny of Eastern Europe now lies in your hands. It is time for you to choose which side of this epic conflict you shall fight on to prove your Point of Existence.

Since the Ukrainian team is able to enjoy shooting down aircraft with the Zu-23 we figured the German & USA team should have something that they can use to shred aircraft as they attempt to be the war jockey of the battlefield! For those that have been part of the community since POE:1, please put your hands together and welcome back the M-167 VADS. Even though it has been retired from active service in the US military we wanted to bring it back in “POE” time so that American team has something to play with!
So if the Ukraine team has the Zu-23, the Americans have the M-167, what should the German team have? How about a 20mm Flack gun called the Fk20. From what we’ve been able to research this weapon is no longer on active service like the M-167 but we couldn’t pass it up – just had to throw it in the game to scare the pilots away from camping the opponent’s airfields.

This MOD, is what BF2 should have ben like....so EA ... learn from the pro's!!!
PoE FTW!
But think this wouldnt be possible without BF2. BF2 still needs to have friggen 4 types of different rocket launchers and portable AA. And lets take a moment to thank all of those people who are in the POE2 team making it such a great mod.

PoE2 will be much better than BF2, as the devs are the best of the best. Many of them have recieved jobs for their work, and still are able to help this mod along.
The best skinner, in my opinion, ever, has to be devil. Jilted is one of the best modlers, and D_FAST is probably the best coder in the modding community.
Once this mod is able to become it's own game, on whichever engine they choose, or even make, it will be amazing.
Sadly, because of EA and DICE, there are many things the devs can't do, but there are still many things they can.

Took a long time but I have come to the conclusion that this is better than BF2 itself.
Great job.
Keep up the good work guys. LOVED the 2nd teaser you guys put out will all of the versions of the rpg be in 1 kit.
Great job.
Sounds like someone has given you a link directly to vote for the mod, which is not possible and therefor you get that message. You need to go into our profile like you are now, manually. Then vote on the top of the site. Thanks for your support :)
i love how its going so far, i love aerial combat so how about lots of awsome choppers and planes :D , this will rock... once i get my new GFX card :(
What in the world does "Point of Existence" mean?
This week we will be posting our 50th News post and celebrate our 2nd anniversary as a team. The video clip in last weeks news was just a concept test for our new film maker. We are in the midst of finishing up the editing of his new video which we will be releasing in our 50th news post - either today or tomorrow.
Thanks,

I was wondering if you guy could make a video of the game from ingame footage (i mean like the guns all the planes in action as if it were just a bf2 match but POE style) I saw your video with the eurocopter. Thought it was amazing camera views were just incredible. But its up to you guys you dont got to if you dont want to if you want to keep working on the game. Just thought it would be nice because it would be like apublic beta but we couldnt play( Could cause alot of exitment as if there isnt enough.) But totally up to you guys.
