Are they going to have them in 2142? I hope not, I hated them in SF. The renders were crap and to this day I still have problems with that XPack it was rushed.
I like night maps. It adds a nice variety.
But thats probably just me.

Yea, I agree with the idea of having night maps.
They add a feeling to the game.
Imagine fighting a battle with mechs, lasers, you know, and having the night sky light up.
If anybody has seen the "Riddick" film, remember the part in beginning when the enemy was attacking the planet and night was lighting up in the fighting? If EA/Dice can pull extreme lighting like that off, then the night maps will be intense.
Do you know if they are going to have them?
No evidence for night battle exist yet, but The others bring up good points with nightvision, and just the look of the lazers. Just think of the screen shots you could get.
Imagine jumping out of a drop ship far above newyork as you come in you see mechs blazing away, and three planes in formation zooming pat below you.

That's exactly the image I had in mind, though this feature lies on EA/Dices shoulders.

Ya that would be cool. But knowing EA/Dice it will not work right. For instance on SF to run the night maps you have to have a really good comp. Mines not bad but its not as good as it couold be (X800 256 mb 425 mhz CCC
P4 2.6 ghz1 gig pc2700). Me and others had problems with night maps crashing randomly. An d i Still to this day cant p;ay night maps becasue Halway through the round my game will crash to Desktop with no error message or anything it just plane old crashes.
Im building a new pc from scratch so it wont be a problem for me in the future but it still with be a problem for others.
Ive got this pos upgraded as far as it wil go without a major overhaul, itd be cheaper jsut to build a new one from scratch so I am.

You're an idiot.
The world is freezing over and the equator is the only place warm enough to survive, so people are fighting for the land.
But yeah, the sun is closing in or some shizit, that too.

one or two well made night maps would be good, oh and guys btw they aren't lasers :P they are just a new form of ballistics (cordite 2.0 :P) according to a press release or interview with someone from EA

Dude if they put night maps in they better fix them. I know thousands of people that have had many computer crashing problems on the night maps. Just look at the EA forums.
I hope they dont put them in, but if they do they better ****ing fix them or imma be pissed lol.

They really should just go with a dusk map. The big problem they had in SF was that the places that were pitch black(Shadows in the dark), caused a lot of problems.
If they just turned the light source (sun) way down, it would be a lot less stressful, and still add a new gameplay environment.
I know I'm personally really tired of playing in the glaring sunshine all the time. I want rain, snow, sunrise, sunset, and I don't care how good I have to make my computer to get it. At least make it an option you can select if you have the hardware...

Snow would be bad ***. Beats the hell out of the dam desert.

Hells yeah. And rain would be even better. Every time you looked down the ironsights, you would get the windshield effect, you know, water dripping down glass right in your vision.

Ya that would be cool but knowing EA that would be just as buggy as the darkspots on hte night maps.

Snow would be kick *** but i hate rain. and maybe they don't need to have night maps they can have one when the sun is going down soo it's yust a little dark :)
It would be cool if you could set the time of day on multiplayers maps

Since there are bombed out cities and stuff, there are obviously fires, right? Has anyone seen "Silent Hill" (the movie)? You know how in the town, there is all the ashes raining down because of the town's fire? BF2142 should do something like that in a city map.

Ya all these ideas sound cool. I like the 24hr Idea the best. But again, I know im starting to sound redundent but I doubt EA could pullt his kinda stuff off becasue they rush to much.

EA isn't making BF2142, nor did they make BF2 or BF1942. Dice makes, EA publishes and represents.

Yeah but it's EA that push DICE too release the game fast soo they don't have the time too finish every thing :(

Precisely my point. Dice could make a good gmae if Ea would not rush them but they do so their games come out half assed, buggy, and needing like 10 patches as BF2 has needed.

but now ea and dice merged or are "working together" or whatever, so i think ea will also be working on the games.
I cant fidn the article saying this on the bf2 site, but m pretty sure i read it.

Totally destructable buildings would be even sweeter. Have it so that every single piece could be broken in a differant way depending on the explosion. All building would be accessible... Would be so cool, but i dont think they have the ability to put that kind of thing in a game yet.lol
sad because it would be so sweet.

In the near future they should be able to.

totally (or at least partially) destructable buildings was an original plan for bf2, cuz i still have the pc gamer magazine announcing bf2 that said it.

Ya I know, I was thinking the same thing when I read the PC Gamer Article on BF2142. I hope the same thing does not happen agian...........
They kept saying in the PC gamer article that they are working on physics and explosions.
I have a feeling they are going to stay the same.
Also, Before BFV came out, they said you were going to be able to move those big cannons around map.
Well you can't, yet 2 years later it still says you can on the Official EA BFV site.
I really hope they live up to there promises.
ReDStaR
05-04-2006, 03:58 AM
ya that was one of the things that i thought would have been totally awesome in bfv. All of a sudden seeing this huge cannon get dropped right in front of you and blast the ****e out of you. I hope ea follows up on their promises, although if they greatly affect balance, server lag, or they're gonna do a half-*** job with it, i say leave it out.
