    For those willing, copy this thread link and perhaps the video into your signature. Lets try to get others more aware. :)

    I'm voting for this too.

    Darker nights in PS2 can only add to the gameplay experience.
    The previous posts on this thread have outlined all the good points this can provide.

    SOE let's have it!

    Until they remove spotting (which they never will) cover of night / camo is still useless.

    This was "beta night". Whats really funny is see all those doritos that are populataed? That was a single "Q" spot by me - unscoped at about 400m. We have come along way in nerfing Q spotting spam but its still entirely too easy and too effective.

    That said remove spotting, and make night as dark as you want and I would be super happy.

    it looks awsome but imagine how it would be in a big battle where people already have low FPS. you would almost not be able to run the game.

    It would actually change very little in terms of grafics, in fact it could even speed up the fps due to less colors overall...

    Yeah I guess it would.

    Dynamic spotting distance? Distance limited to, say 50m at night? Would add a new aspect to gameplay...

    Skyguards were absolutely stunning at night. All those tracers.

    Bumping this so maybe some one sees it. We need actual nights, not dark days!

    The problem with dark nights is a lot of people simply turned up their brightness, and immediately people who did that had a significant advantage on others who didn't.

    Otherwise, I'd love it.

    Upping gama will do nothing about visible range. It just makes the colors you already see a bit brighter. All of them. Now instead of black, you have grey. The same exact wash of grey that you had when you had a wash of black. Not to mention most monitors do not support that fun gamma trick we used to use during Nintendo times. (;

    Then Your Flashlight could allow you to spot up to 150m or something.

    Then I want my flashlight range to increase to at least 100m or so.
    Even if they don't bring back dark nights I want that range to be buffed significantly.

    something tells me you never experienced a BETA night battles

    If the beta night is brought back, it opens up a whole slew of new customizable options for infantry and vehicles. Maybe flare launchers can be a thing which brightens a small area for a short time, blinding enemies caught in the light. Aircraft could have searchlights which sllows friendlies to identify enemy targets
