POA2 is a modern tactical level simulation that depicts combat at the platoon and individual vehicle level, with complete depiction of supporting artillery, air strikes, electronic warfare, engineer, chemical warfare, helicopter, naval, and pysop units. Units are depicted with official NATO symbology. Scenarios include Germany, Korea, Southwest Asia, and the US Army's National Training Center, along with hypothetical terrorist attacks on US soil.
Point of Attack 2 is a "game" unlike any other ever available for the civilian market. It is not for everyone it is a product designed to accurately model the minute intricacies of modern weapons systems to a degree which casual gamers may find cumbersome, even excessive. POA2 values 'brutal' realism above all else.
Point of Attack 2 is the most comprehensive and detailed modern combat simulator ever created. The weapons database includes hundreds of systems from circa 1960 into those the might be fielded the near future, all modeled in amazing detail. The ammunition types are varied: cluster munitions, missiles, bombs, rockets, kinetic energy rounds, and even hypothetical energy weapons.
