Nightvision

[InvisibleMan999]

Just because you can navigate with thermal doesn't mean you should be able to.  If you can it renders NV completely useless other than in places like vents.  I don't want to see that happen.  In dark places you can still see walls and such with thermal vsion.  So, what the fuck is NV even good for, unless you are in a vent??

It's not good for much. But that doesn't necessarily mean we should automatically upgrade it and make it useful for other things. We could just take it out of the game. I don't really feel like the game would lose much gameplay if we just removed NV and had people use thermal for stuff.

That's what I mean though, NV is like a classic kind of spy gadget.  If he sneaks in the shadows and doesn't have NV then it would be kind of dumb and dissapointing.  If it's not good for much, or anything for that matter, then we should do one of the following:

1.  Combine it with thermal vision to make ONE vision that does everything.  Like GRAW has a green night vision and registers heat in white at the same time.  Could work out nicely.
2.  Remove it.
3.  Balance both visions so that it makes NV actually useful.

The good thing about combining the visions is that it wouldn't mess with the balance that much.  Combining merc visions is a different story.

... How about a 'godlike' vision that is like Byakugan from naruto, but takes 20 seconds to activate, and works for 5-10s???
A gadget, maybe?

Taking out of the game is an equally extreme reaction. Even if you only use NV 5% of the time, that's still 5% of the time where it's actually necessary.

I use NV quite a bit when trying to navigate through vents and dark areas. Not as much as thermal, but often enough where I wouldn't want it removed.

no removal of nvg.  just because you dont use it doesnt mean others dont.....or did :(

That's why I suggested combining the two visions together.  If any of you have played GRAW, you'll know what I mean.  It basically lights everything up in a green filter, night vision, and registers heat as white, thermal.

Here is a great example of what I mean.  Except for the fact that the heat (in white) should be a little clearer and more sharp.

It's for those times where you actually need night vision and you use thermal at the same time.

That looks good, now we need a motion tracking electro-magnetic field vision mode.  :P

Well, combining those two visions would be unbalanced, this would not.

I'd like if the thermal-vision would see footprints or leftover heat from mercs/spies!

and realy farfetched

[frvge]

yeah

[Daedalus]

And a bit unbalanced...

IMO if you want to buff nvgs so much you could make it so that only the goggles light up on EMF. Would make the nvg much less visible on EMF unless the goggles draw power from the suit.

Also hi.
