Night scenes
I know theyre bringing night vision to the expansion pack but i dont like the way theyre changing the gameplay to a more close battle scenario. Will there be night scenes on the existing game in the new patch? Also why dont they make the maps change with the time of day that would be great. they wuld be different every time you played dep on the time of day. MArvellous!!!

Re: Night scenes
No thatd be way to hard. Youd have to randomize the map files completely. You'd get server-client arguments all the time. -

Re: Night scenes
why not just have 4-5 versions of the same map with the sun rendered at different angels to represent the time of day... I play Soldner which has Dynamic Weather & Time of Day, Night Vision & Infared Vision goggles its totally wikkid game, very BF2 like.. and best of all you can actually destroy the environment, nothing like placing explosives around a building full of troops and demolishing it... or using a tank to ahnilate a shack with a guy hiding in it. You can also pick up vehicles with the Chinook via a grappling line and airlift vehicles around the map.
Edit: Soldner also has a ingame economy where you buy your weapons etc from stations. but what i like about time of day change, it totaly changes the way a map is played. I think if EA / Dice addedd a couple different time of day renders of each map then each map would totally change the way its played as new hiding places apear and sniping spots change.Comment

Re: Night scenes
I never even considered that, but it got me thinking...imagine starting a round on Strike at Karkand where the noon sun is beating down you, and then about 5 minutes later the sun starts going down, another 5 minutes it's dusk, then darkness for about 7 minutes, then dawn...etc. That would be extremely awesome. Night vision and Ray-Ban's required, of course.Comment

Re: Night scenes
opperation clean sweep isnt night... its late afternoon with heavy cloud cover rolling in.
Seriously, go take a look at Soldner... its pretty good i played it heaps with mates at work. BF2 should borrow from that game the concept of allowing different day/night times in maps on server launch.
Edit: here is the url for Soldner if your interested.. I got the game for $50 at EB about 6 months ago, http://soldner.jowood.com/
One thing i loved was you can totally customise your character changing what they wear and their colors as well as logos on the characters sleves etc...Comment

Re: Night scenes
Because it is (was?) seriously, unbelievably, broken, to the point of being unplayable at launch.Originally posted by ConscriptVirus
It was one of those games that was hyped and hyped and hyped then when it was released it turned out that it should have been in development for another year or so (waiting for some idiot to say "omg just like bf2" but, no, BF2 at launch was 1000% better than Soldner at launch).
It was an awesome concept though and it's been improved upon since the original release with patches, but I believe it's still fairly broken.
It's a shame, I was really looking forward to it, but I knew that the game had no hope when the official beta demo was not much of an improvement over the leaked alpha of the game from 12 months prior.Comment
