So, there's weather. What about VIOLENT weather?

I'd hate this, but I'm afraid they will still make all those kewl sight obscuring effects (other than darkness during nighttime) off-toggleable for the sake of framerates on low-end machines. If that is true I can't imagine myself ever turning them on thus putting myself into disadvantage of having my sight obscured. Still will be fun to shoot people while they slowly crawl through the thick fog only they can see.

If they add in fog and any other obscuring effects, if done correctly, can actually improve performance by lowering draw distance and lowering textures of far away objects because you can;t see them properly anyway, so no one will notice a badly textured rock when you can only see its outline.

We are now in a time when we can make major technical achievements. Most peoples hardware can handle these types of effects, even minimally. It will only get better from here on out. Can't wait to see what's in store.

Lol at the idea... "IT'S RAINING MEN!"

Fog and things we are familiar with here on Earth are expected.

How cool would it be to have some sort of electrical storm that zaps all power to vehicles/weapons so if your in the storm you can use your firearms or if those are zapped too it comes down to Melee weapons are all that you can use. Ride the storm out sitting in your tank or get out and stab some people.

So many opportunities to creat all new "weather" types and results.

I like the idea of an electrical storm. /crashing aircraft time!

i would add a great element to game play if we could get a good lightning storm now and then. air couldn't fly through it and people outside would have to be cautious.

Just make it so that flying through it is dangerous. More fun when you tempt people to take that stupid risk.

Meteor showers. And the meteor shower killspam.
