its with maps like these you really need a silenced primary weapon. i remember delta force 2, running round in the dark behind enemy base with a silenced mp5 and then blowing up everything in sight

It looks indeed very nice and what Eglaerinion says is so true!

Good luck with the mod!

But I have one little remark should there be street light in a wartime environment? Usually in times like that you have black-outs. ;)
Maybe you should try other light sources, full moon, searchlights, accidental light(open window, door), fires, automated AA(tracers going up every now and then, just for atmosphere :) ), artillery duel in the background with very big explosions, exploding ammo dump(saw some footage of that from Iraq, 3 days it went on :cry: )

Looking well good. Looking forward to playing it.

Would be nice if this could go on ranked servers if the mod only changes the map lighting.

Nice to see a screenshot with some action going on. Think the beauty of a night map is when it all kicks off and guns going off all over the place.

Will you be adding tracers to the mod, cos that would be well nice.

Can't wait to play these...will they run on ranked servers? No custom mods/maps/scripts can be used on ranked servers unless EA is going to change their policy regarding ranked servers.

Really hope the ligts and such are good enough in the BF2 Engine to support Flashlights and such. WOuld rock to have a flashlight on the end of your gun. WOuld really be awsome to see a Hummer with lights :guns:

Ok since they didn't post much Ill add on abit of whats going on. The main lightsources will be the lights HOWEVER they wont be everywhere. We are working on adding Flashbang grenades, nightvision, flashlights, NV cockpits. So you wont get bored:P

I will take the silencers into consideration.

it is not out yet. We are hoping to finish it soon.

No we are not making new maps for this mod. It is the original maps at night. BF2 SF will have new maps, and plenty of them.

That and we did specify that BF2 Nights was a minimod. However a big minimod it is still a minimod. We are not modifying AI or making new models and stuff like that. It is the original BF2 at night and a few new gadgets to work with.

I can see much of the city maps and small versions of the bigger maps being a lot of fun. Cut down on all the vehicles but keeps some choppers, jeeps, and the cars with spot litghts on them ... then ya this can be fun.

They look like it's gona be fun fun fun!
BUT>>>>
MOD maps have to be hosted to be playable e.g. you download a custom (MOD) map (client side) and a private server (server side) has to host them (have them loaded at the server end) Not many peeps have the resources to do this at the moment. You will need an IP number and password to connect.

I wish that when peeps post custom download maps particularly on the home page of this forum that they would state if they or anyone else is hosting them with IP addresses and passwords.

I just played some real nice custom maps last night on Alpha9 so much fun. Details and downloads at http://www.alpha9s.com/ see forum.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
