Bring back the beta night!

Notice how useful flashlights are in this video

BUMP
I don't know why they removed this....
Perhaps it made the game too tactical....

Nothing but yes.

Agreed bring them back! Along with the following

1. Up the brightness of the lights so they can see a bit further and blind the enemy in some sort of way
2. Liberators can trade in the pilots gun for a light to shine below
3. Max suits can get huge flood flights on shoulders that blind the targets in front and light up the area.
4. Even add some sort of flares that can be fired to illuminate areas
5. When a base loses a generator that section of the base is blacked out. If it has 4 generators then that quarter. 2 Generators? Half the base
6. Bigger bases should be bastions of light in the pitch black plains of Indar, Amerish or Esamir and be illuminated very well
7. Maybe have it so 1 night is not that dark, followed by a dark night etc. Cater to all

It also makes the Flash light worth purchasing and incresaes the need for special scopes on vehicles and weapons at night

Even apply it to the test server first to test it and see what people think

The issue we had in the beta with that level of darkness was that the VS infantry were practically invisible that aside I'm totally for it returning. Would quite like the flashlight to have its own slot on a weapon and can be turned on and off, people might use it then

Each faction should have parts that glow slightly, the VS batterys on the suits and weapons could glow lightish blue as they get closer, the TR could have red markings and the NC have yellow

1. The problem isn't the brightness, it's only the range.
2. Headlights should be standard on all airplanes.
3. I don't think blinding is very balanced unless it's only very subtle.
4. Flares would be awesome! Maybe even add some flood light to the ace-tool too.
5. Cool, but maybe just add extra generators with less health and easier to destroy for the lights.
6. Completely agree.
7. If someone doesn't like the night, shouldn't he just play on another continent instead of ruïning it for players that want to play at night?

Night in this game use to be the best thing ever. Flashlights and headlights ment a lot.


I remember a few times in beta where it just turned night and the moons hadn't come up yet so it's nearly pitch black.


We had a platoon running up the middle of pass to crossroads watchtower. We didn't have to use any cover because it was so dark, we just followed the blue triangles in front of us and ran for the silhouette of a tower against a dark sky.


We got screwed though when the large moon came up behind the tower and it started to get a bit brighter.

Just yes! I <3 being sneaky!

To compensate for new players not being able to cert night vision, make flashlights 1 cert point.

Like c'mon I gotta kill 30 people to learn how to put C cells in a tube and switch it on?

Dark nights, dark vision, night vision goggles for all. Red, blue, n purple.

Luminous accents to armor would cure this problem perfectly.

Several things:
You can see still at night. You just have to look a little harder. INV is not expensive at all. Even for a new player.
I do think it would be cool to blind INV with a flashlight.

Bump. Restore dark nights and I'll put more money into the game.

Agreed, great idea.

I would love to hear why they removed it. Night right now is like night in WoW... almost entirely cosmetic. Night ops should require completely different gear and tactics. Flying at night should be pretty hairy too.

gaaaahhh!!!! I want this back so bad!!! It was so much fun to be hiding and ambushing while awesome views of tracers near and far lit up the skies.

They should bring it back, it looks awesome.

And every now and then, there should be a full moon, so the night is brighter, and a new moon, so the night is darker.

so much yes! i love dark nights but the only games i played that used them were Gothic 1 and s.t.a.l.k.e.r clear sky.
