i think it would be cool if EA/Dice added illumination rounds in addition to the arti. what do you guys think? cuz i know the USMC still uses "ilum" rounds to light up the dark sky when the grunts needed it.

There's tracer bullets, but tracer artillery would be neat.Comment

Re: Illumination Rounds......
I think he means flare artillery. They use it to illuminate the whole field of battle, instead of using night vision. They used it a LOT before night vision came into more standard play, but like he said, Marines still use it. Its actually better than night vision, but there are just 2 problems with it. The length of time that there is light, and the fact that the enemy benefits from it as well.Originally posted by Syx
I think its used currently as a sort of Flashbang, as far as the light goes. If youre not expecting it, it can disorient you, and if youre using night goggles when it goes off, then youll be blinded temporarily, much like a flash bang, and I think it will even knock out the goggles, but Im not positive on that one.
It would be nice to have illumination rounds though.Comment

Re: Illumination Rounds......
A great idea and more tactical then most other commander toys, would be good to have a well timed star burst during the opening stages of an assault and would actually give the commander and ground pounders a better interaction i think. encouraging teamwork can nver be a bad thing

Too bad servers don't let you have tiny little client side mods, and not too many people would want to play a mod with just this.Originally posted by AFEDSLAYERComment

Re: Illumination Rounds......
While I like the idea....
I bet the adidtion of Illum rounds would kill FPS, and then we would see endless posts of that. While not being a computer savy guy I see time and time again how many people have to adjust light detail down... shadows down, etc. Where the illum rounds would be nothing but shader, light, shadow creating beast. Then to have it accuratly portry the shadows (Dependant on where the illum round burst it would push shadows in different directions (This would have to apply to all things that are stationary, as oposed to simply leaving a corner dark because the "sun" is allways in one position on the map)
I thin it wouls be a cool idea if implemented, i just dont see the feasability of doing it right.Comment
