I know we can see the actual weather on a map but, can we watch a weather forecast to prepare our attack for exemple before to go ???

Thanks.

No, you can pretty much just check out on the ocean to see a storm thats comming
Note: Storms do build up, I sat there looking at a storm that started small and green ont he ocean, then by the time it got to land is was GIANT and red.

There needs to be more weather still.

Should be a day night cycle as well. I mean the vehicles have lights let's put them to use.

Hamma · 2003-05-10, 02:24 PM

There is a day and night cycle, night just isnt incredebly dark

I don't think there should be too much weather, I think it would increase lag.

How is the weather?

I really would like to see something, but I have never been in a dust storm or even rain yet. It's just sunny where ever I go. Maybe it's my sunny personality that drives it all away.

Please up the level a bit! I'd really like to actually experience some weather during a fight. At this rate I'll be forced to watch the map and try to Hart drop into a storm some day.

Does anyone know if your graphical settings eliminate weather all together if it is set to low?

Weather is not much of a strategic factor in this game. Nor is the day night cycle.

Nekota · 2003-05-10, 04:39 PM

Actually I think I did notice a slight downward push on my Mosquito flying through a snowstorm. Visibility is GREATLY reduced in a dust storm. I've seen green spots on the map but, I'm not sure what weather effect those are proablly radioactive death clouds

... I'll have to find out soon.

Weather could very much be a strategic factor, driving thunderstorms at night, you cant see 50ft in front of you

Problem is we barley see storms.

Ginzue · 2003-05-10, 05:09 PM

Yes, there need to be many more storms, I only see storms about 10% of the time I go on a assault...

Weather is very cool, especially stuff like fog and dust storms. Im still hoping for a better night cycle though.
