How much impact will weather effects have on game play?

[eMaGyN]

I know in previous games it is possible to be hit by lightning. I was wondering if the battle field will be greatly effected by weather conditions or if they are being implemented at all. What i think would be really cool would be if the weather is rainy there be a slight fog, the heaviest of fog near areas of water and such... i just thought it would add to the realism

I think that would be very intense to raid a base next to a shore in the rain, using the cover of dense fog to hide your force of Vangaurds, Galaxies and MAX's. It would really add to the realism. I also think it would be cool to have like problems on steep inclines during the rain with vehicles, like sliding. Or have certain equipment not work as well in the storm, like communications and scanning stuff. It would make bad weather a pretty scary time

it would be cool if you could forcast the weather. then plan your attacks when a storm hit. Not going to happen i know, but would still be pretty cool.

You know what would be really cool?

Meteor Showers.

Weather was not in when I played, but it certainly would be cool as hell to launch an attack with a storm

I don't think we're going to see too much in this regard even though they had big plans for it. Back in the old days of the official forums (when the devs talked freely to us) they even planned to have things like electrical storm affecting equipment.

fog would be cool, and maybe even snow, but they shouldn't go too far

Need some acid rain and miscellaneous farm animals falling from the sky to make it realistic.

I hope they make weather affect everything. It'd make it a lot more realistic and it would make any attacks require more strategy and smae with defenders. If it makes all track and wheeled vehicles less maneuverable and slower it'd take alot more planning to effectively attack a base and instead of just a tank rush with a couple infantry it would need to use all aspects, especially air, to counteract the weather. Now, if they made it difficult to fly that woulkd make it even more realistic. It would be really hard to do anything without vehicles, heh, obviously.

I'd love to have weather and weekly forcast! We could even have a weather base, if your faction held that base, you would have a better forcast!
