the only thing I don't like about POE2 is that it doesn't have the polished graphics of vanilla. Anyway, was playing POE2 last night and got a longing for the textures of say, midnight sun. Got on an Armored Fury server, and was immediately turned off by the sounds of vanilla. I don't like to dis vanilla, cuz I think its a good game, but once you've experienced the sounds of POE2, you can't enjoy vanilla as much. The sound, to put this as kindly as possible, sucks in vanilla. Even though the graphics are much better in reg bf2, I went back to poe2. Someone should come up with a mini-mod for vanilla that just improves the sound, cause the textures are so nice on high settings.

- tried to go back to vanilla, but...
i find the POE2 gfx to be much better..i set everything on high for both vanilla and POE
I've got everything set to high too; when I think about it, its not so much the textures, as it is the dynamic lighting effects and shadows. I think that is what makes it appear (to me) as not very good. I love this mod, don't get me wrong...the sounds and the playability of it are enough to win me over. Maybe they'll tweak this in future updates. I usually use the ingame anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. I think tonight I might use the settings in my graphics card cause they can go much higher...see how that improves things.tahadar wrote:

the brush is a hell of a lot better. I quite playing sniper on that game b/c when ever someone saw me aiming at them they proned and I was like....."oh fuck" and three seconds later they [Bitch Slapped] me (guess what that means in my localization files )

That map is just awsome - doesn't matter what kit you're playing, you see someone, they see you, you/they go prone and dissappear amongst the undergrowth...
Fallen....man, that was a bitch, my kd was like around 2-29. It might have been my ping, or the fact that i just suck at aiming with rifles. The snow maps...oh my god, they're awesome esp the sound.Scorpion0x17 wrote:

I agree that the PoE soundscape is very good.
The jets overhead sound so powerful, the AA and artillery adds a lot of atmosphere and the kit weapons sound deadly, even the pistols.
Sound is incredibly important in a game - it's good to see the PoE guys appreciate that as much as I do!

i love fallen, i went 25-5 the first round i played ever on POE, i have to say though, nothing more satisfying then coming up behind a squad on fallen with ur kinfe and getting 6 killz, best BF2 moment ever
You mentioned sniping in PoE2
2 questions:
1. Whats the ghillie suit like? (the camo a sniper wares)
2. What are the guns like.
Im still downloading atm and i would love to know waht they look like.

~ Do you not know that in the service … one must always choose the lesser of two weevils?
from my sniping, i hate the sniper guns, they have huge clips but i cant hit shit from a distance, i prob just not used to them but i think they are weak, and the ghili suits look like a ghili suit
Like a full ghillie suit or a half one like the ones in bf2, a screenshot would be sweet.
And the sniper rifles dont do much damage? by that you meen 95 like in bf2?

I know what you mean, there are a few maps with bad lighting, almost makes the vehicles and weapons look totally black.
poe? fallen? wa...?
I have not had a problem with the sniper rifles at all. I really like them compared to vanilla. After a couple of rounds I was hitting at long range with no problem. Just had to practice a little to figure out the ranging.
The sound in POE is next to extraordinary. I have a SB x-fi Plat. and the sounds in game are so life like in many areas. The sounds of the planes going over is a great addition too. In buildings hearing echos, and some of the ambient sounds like cows mooing and woodpeckers in the trees and numerous others is a great addition too.
As far as some of the lighting,and textures, some improvement is needed. Other than that, for a first release it is great! Very few issues at all. More than I can say for Vanilla...lol The map layouts and just playability is far better than Vanilla IMHO.
Thanks for a great mod guys!.

-the non pickup rifles are both semi-auto with a 1-3 kill, while the pickup rifles(G-82/NTW-20) are a 1 shot kill.
The sound was the first thing I seemed to notice about the game. It was really awesome the way you can hear the base rumble of a jet as it screams through the valley your in giving you a few seconds to hit the dirt. I prefer the sound of PoE to BF2. They just sound crisper and it really helps to create a better gaming atmosphere. One of the best mods that I have ever played IMO.Gulf_War_Syndrome wrote:

Hey ecm747x
Just a question have you had much luck at headshots past 250m on POE2?
A friend and i were practicing and one of us was near a flag so we could see actual range. We couldn't score a one shot kill past 250m, but as soon as one of use would step inside that 250 mark it was no problem. I just wondered if you experienced that because i know its possible on vanilla .

the maps on poe are beautifull imo
the sunsets really add something to the exp
i do like the thunderstorm effect in AF
but in general. the lush, foilage of poe maps kicks ass
