Depth of field, ugh. What's so great about making everything all blurry?

I look at it this way. If you can, use it to your advantage, fight/attack from an angle while having the sun at your back.

Also, it adds some realism to it. Throw a ball up in the sky/at the sun and try to catch it in it's downfall. It's not that easy.

IMO it's not overdone, it's bright but not too bright. You can see the surroundings, you're not blind.

It's to remove that feeling about terrain, trees, people, vehicles and stuff like that from just appearing and disappearing at the clip plane. Some people like it for immersion, some people hate it for it's obscuring effect on enemy movements. To me, as long as it's a toggle and hasn't that big of an effect eitherway than it's fine.

What's more annoying to me is being able to turn all the visual settings down enough to maximize the clip plane distance. Just about anyone that takes this game seriously will be doing that. First Priority is View Distances, second is refresh rate, third is detail.

Your crazy, the sun completes it. I would rather have a bright sun then no sun. And like Higby has said you can use that to your advantage.

In my opinion, people simply are complaining about the sun being blinding because they can't (or won't?) keep up with technology actually making environments more realistic. Yes it's annoying trying to shoot a guy who's between you and the sun...So flank!

It's brings a whole new dimension of tactics and realism that it just seems to me would be a loss in depth if not implemented...besides; the weather (and night) will add variety to that anyway. Adaptability my friends!

I wonder if they will have adjustable autodarkening helmets in the cash shop for these bright and sunny days.

That is a cool idea! Even if they were just regular "sunglasses" if the devs felt that was a more balanced trade-off...No need to alter the game engine! lol

I prefer the sun that they showed in that screen shot, they could have gone for more realistic by using the Battlefield 3 sun but then SOE would be getting sued by everyone for burned retinas, and the sun adds in in more tactical options, like attacking a base at a certain time of day so the sun is behind you, etc etc.

Look foreglight engie is beautiful... If they put a sun in it its not going to be some dull object in the background is it ?? It looks great in these pics
