sum up, this would buy them time for new maps, night/day variations of the currents maps could make it different a little.

Or maps set at sunset that slowly get darker, or maps set at dawn that slowly get brighter... The possibilities are endless!

I really want to do this (and weather, lightning, thunder, etc I love that fuzzy bunny - did it in all my Reality Engine demos). I'm going to hack it in and test. It'll probably look bad without a "night" lighting/emissive pass over the maps from the art team, but won't hurt to take a look.

Night warfare should be at the top of the development list. Think of any game you've played in the past, when you enter the darker environments the intensity escalates quickly.

100% agree. I wasn't even thinking about new maps when I voted for this. This was my thought springboard also.

My two cents:
Definently night combat, almost total darkness
no IR of thermal or any of that, especially not for the ss
have toggleable lights:
A class-weaker lights, good for close range
b-class-good lights, nice range on them
C-class-toggle between a super spotlight and a weak light, so they could be great for defenders in an attack/defense night game
Reaper and SS-same lights as c-class mechs, with their advantage being sit in the back wth no lights and shoot at the mechs who are lights on, Ir would just be op on either one
Gamemodes:
Attack/defend, have special maps set up, with basically a big base, and a small spawn opposite each other, give the base two big, sweeping seachlights, and to destroy it, the attackers have to carry a bomb to say, 5 different points inside
convoy-on team has to push something along a path across the map, and th other team sets up ambushs along the way

In keeping with the best airborne tradition of relying on madmen instead of firepower, six of us with one BAR replaced eighteen 79th division doggies with a water cooled .50 and an air cooled .30.

Just an idea though.

I am all for night and weather stuff, but it has to be done rite. Maybe using infrared night vision so that you can see other people's IR emissions and stuff like that and can choose not to use IRNV to avoid detection (IR lights). Or have part of the new optimization tree effect it. Or have the option of Multiple NV equipment like light amplifiers, thermals or IR devices. Of corse you would want to balance these things with ups and downs to make you want to chose from one or the other. My ideas were as following:
Thermals- possibly see through thin walls and partially through parts of corners but has a very limited range of vision.
Light amp- room for thoughts
IRNV- gives away your movements due to IR light emissions
Could even offer a active radar+lidar scanning for images.
