Battlefield 3: Official Thread

[Janus67]

A game or two I thought did that, but used your PC time as the time of day for the game. Its just as 'simple' as changing where the light source is to cast shadows (obviously its a bit more complicated then that, but... its not that hard, and has been done before IIRC.

not the same, but a lot of MMOs do it (especially WoW)

 

[EarthDog]

Its not the same? Seems to me it is outside of actually selecting the time... oh well.

 

[madhatter256]

Didn't BF2: Special Forces expansion have night-time maps?

I think that would be cool in BF3 but everyone would have to have some sort of night-vision/thermal optics...

I was referring to MMO vs FPS vs etc for the time change versus real time

Yeah and they sucked. Just not right for the BF2 engine. The popularity of SF didn't last very long.

I liked SF and the night time maps in it

We seriously need night variations of the maps, imagine Sharqi/Karkand at night

It would at least give reason to use IRNV again.



Posted this in the other BF3 thread about updates, figure I may as well put it in the main BF3 thread.

Looks like I should start using the PKP!

That run was hilarious.. I need to start recording my games... then posting knife kills. Oh wait, I wont do that.

Here are some modded Night time metro shots:





Looks a bit odd imo, but w/o full mod tools it can be a bit difficult.

you could always just post screenshots of every one of your kills...




edit: @ pwn, that looks awesome.

 

[EarthDog]

That wouldnt take up much space...lately.

Wow pwn, that looks awesome
Knife kills are cool but we need hatches or a big ax

i could only imagine your ping over a tether O.O

I really can wait to see more maps out of the armored assault map pack makes me think they may feel more like the old battlefield games and may be worth upgrading to a 64 man server!

what diaz loves to do

 

[diaz]

I don't always die, but when I do, I prefer C4'ing tanks.

I would also like weather options as well.

 

[insanemonkey]

The real question is if we have night maps will there still be scope glare. Since apparently scopes are able to have glare in the dark tunnels, like a big freaking flash light. I guess the highway map is at night and it still has scope glare.

 

[RADIO_ACTIVE]

I think there still should be scope glare, just reduced significantly.
