The darkness


Anyone else loving seeing fighting at night? Its so nice and dark. I hope they dont make it any lighter whatsoever. Gives it such a wonderful effect of the fighting.

I like it, but I'm hoping that they put some actual lighting inside the bases... the whole AMP station looked like it was on reserve power the entirety of E3.

I'll probably have to turn my gamma up. Some of the video's I saw looked pitch black but I'll have to wait and see how it looks in-game.

Re: The darkness


It was pitch black! That was the point

Rather than turning up gamma, invest in a flashlight for your rifle, or an IR scope.

Meh im skeptical of night. Players will do everything to get an advantage, so if turning up your gamma helps then that's what everyone will do and because everyone does it so will i

Re: The darkness


I won't. I'll be shining my flashlight in your eyes and blinding you ala BF3 since your gamma is so high!

(note, I don't mean that flashlights should usually blind people, I just think it'd be an effective anti-gamma tactic)

Love how dark it was at night, though I could understand the degree of it differing from continent to continent for some more diverse gameplay.

If I got purely what I wanted, I'd have them keep it just as dark as it was at E3.

I'll just use a nifty IR sight

Infared sights and flashlights will be better than turning up gamma I think.

Re: The darkness


I play in a well lit room, which destroys the contrast of any night visuals, making it impossible to see.

If pumping my gamma doesn't work, I'll just go to a different continent for the duration.

I loved the night footage. It's just beautiful with the tracer fire and explosions in the distance. I can't wait to see it in person.

Having lighting inside the base would be nice. Hopefully other bases will have invested in some floresent lighting. I think that would even make an interesting dynamic. Imagin being inside the base looking out. Since it's so bright n there and dark outside you have zero night vision and can't see anyone. While the attackers can see you just fine. If done right I think it could work without being unfair for the defenders.

And just think about when the weather system is up! You could have an overcast night that is FULLY pitch black. While a cloudless night with the moon(s?) would be brighter. It would make each night a bit unique.
Oh imagine if the clouds cast shadows? Being sneaky and walking in the shadow of a cloud at night as it moves so you arn't seen. =3

Considering that those are ridiculously simple solutions and I'm relatively sure CutterJohn isn't a Hamster.. I think that there is a good reason why he plays games this way.

Re: The darkness


Agreed, it looked gorgeous.

Could use a few stadium lamps here and there and maybe a spotlight or 5 around the bigger bases/towers for players to use (ground and air, think WW2 PoW prisons and London Blitz movies), for atmosphere as well as giving pilots/sneaky types that (OH SHI#!) moment.

I agree, there should definitely be spot lights to keep the base relatively lit up. Not so much that the effect of night is lost, but the courtyards of the bases should have some sort of lighting.

Re: The darkness


if someone wants to turn their gamma up on me ill just set some tanks on fire near me so they get over exposed... nah if done correctly gamma increase won't help that much depends how they coded the nighttime.
