Turning the headlights off

MarkHawk · 2003-02-25, 08:15 PM

You know how planes and buggys and such all have lights for when its dark? well will these be able to be turned off. Because if im going to attack a base im not going to leave the lights on. And if i can't turn them off ill shoot them out.

I doubt it but will there be anylight for infantry units?

No, you can not turn off the head lights at the moment.

Nighttime is equal to our dusk, so INF won't need the light. I hope you can switch off headlights, but I doubt it.

should be easy

Speaking of light...I wonder if they thought to make a terminal in bases that a hacker can get into to make the lights go off? That'd be sweet.

That IS a good idea.

Arshune · 2003-02-25, 08:24 PM

Yeah, I seem to be packed with good ideas lately...light hacking, raindrop effect on cloaked things...I wonder how many more I've got stowed in my skull?

I have a good idea, kinda like the spies in C&C Red Alert 2 how if you spy into a power plant you turn off there power for a while. That would be cool if you could hack the generators and temporarily turn off power.

omg red alert 2 is uber l337. i still play it online. btw i think u can destory the generators and power goes off and some stuff in the base doesn't work

Being able to turn off lights would be nice so you can sneak up on people.. Kind of...

well, if anything, it will automatically switch on at night time. you never know. it does it in GTA3 + Vice City. maybe it'll do it in this game.

That would be nice, automatic lighting...

i wanna control the lights its much easier for the enemy to see lights in the distance or fly over a small group of people with there lights on and boom its all over

korezero · 2003-02-25, 10:12 PM

I just don't want them to stay on all the time..

It would be cool if the turrets had spotlights on them, then you could be a look out and still kill a lot of people.
