Socom 4 Maps Day/Night?

[[$K$] BOOMxSTICK]

When Seth brings up Abandoned, he emphasizes that it is DAY Abandoned. Now he may have emphasized it because of the darkness of the map the second time around. But i wonder if all maps will have a day/night combo. You would figure they would have day/night for every map but you never know.

I for one hope all maps have the options.

Yeah I agree, all maps should have their options but imo every map should have it's own game mode.

[HTK]

I think each map so be dedicated to specifics. Like build a map around one game mode. I also think they should do that with Day/Night because when you make it an option, the lighting system they go with won't reflect all the maps in a good way for a day or night.

Go back to the roots and have some maps dedicated to day and some to night.

I think there should also be an option for precipitation. It's the jungle so it ought to rain a lot.

I'm with HTK on this one. If the developers DESIGN the map specifically for NIGHT, it just won't look right or "perform" the same way in daytime. And vice-versa.

I was a BEAST on night maps in Combined Assault.
I really don't enjoy them on Confrontation.

But OTS nightvision will do that to a classic view guy like myself!

Didn't Sujo have mild rain? Or did they just have a thunderstorm in the background with puddles of water on the ground?


It "felt" like it was raining on that map to me.


But I kinda like McNoobs idea for a map or two.

I don't think day/night would effect the playability of maps more than building the maps around a specific game mode.

I would like the option for day/night for maps. Also the weather idea sounds cool too.

AGREED!

having specifics to a map makes it even more memorable.

People remember maps for everything, including day or night.

Also, Nightstalker doesn't seem right being played during the "day", it's an abominated contradiction haha.

Noonishstalker does not have the same ring to it.

Remember DAYTIME BLIZZARD on the map packs for Combined Assault?




LOL, I'd have to turn my brightness all the way down on my TV or wear some sunglasses to aim.

I found running and gunning with the damn stats screen up would give me an "in game" sun visor!

I forgot about that. LOL
That was the worst, hopefully we have nothing like that in Socom 4.

Agreed that the maps should be designed around day and night. However, there should still be a choice in user created rooms about whether the map will be day or night. I have no issue with going back to basics on how each map is either day or night--I just appreciate having a choice if I want to vary the game up.

[korten12]

That would be cool, I like games were the maps can change the time of day and such.

[SOCOM_TOUGH_GUY]

as long as night maps aren't extra dark im fine with it
