Re: Flares

Sounds like a cool idea, actually. Flare an area before your team members go in.

Re: Flares

That is actually one of the few good idea suggestions I have read on a game forum.

Re: Flares

Ya, that would be a great idea. They could come from the artillery field pieces. Just not part of the artillery reload time.

Re: Flares

They would be a great help on some of the night maps for those of us who really cant use the night vision googles. They are confusing when you are going form a night spot to a dark spot.


Also i was wondwering if should i post this on the forum area where dice reads it maybe they could add it in the patch just a little thing that would make it easier to play on the night maps.

Re: Flares

That would just be stupid. It wouldn't work in buildings of course and there is no point. Use night vision. That's why it was invented so you can see at night. I don't understand what you said about forming a night spot from a dark spot. Night vision is not confusing at all you turn it off in brightly lit areas and in dark areas it's the same as regular BF2 except everything is green. Plus it would ruin the point of night maps. If you are afraid of the dark don't play night maps. It would ruin the strategies that are used. Like if you're a sniper hide in a bright place and everyone with their night vision on couldn't see you.

Re: Flares

Your rgiht about the sniper thing and the ability to run around. But think of it this way a squad is holding a flag and they know that the enimes coming they could ask the commander to deploy a flare and light the sky up this would work good with a uav but i was just expressing an idea.

Re: Flares

Also if the commander lit up the area the squad was moving into blinding the other team that may be using night vision then they could use that strategy to their advantage not a bad idea at all

Not really, sure if money was offered EA!!!!!!!!! would sort it out:)
Night maps as far as im concerned are dependant on your PC, you have a good PC and can see detail then you'll win, if not then you'll get killed!!

Re: Flares

Flares as they are now don't cast much light. They would need a dramatic increase in light, so that it looks like daytime where they fall.

As a tie in to this thread, I've always wanted smoke barrages from my artillery. Basically each shell would be a giant smoke grenade. It could help in the right situation, like for masking tank movements from helicopters.
