Now that we are so prominently reminded that Unreal is the engine of choice, I wonder if we could have some Unreal Engine weather effects.  Fog,  rain, direct sunlight blinding you, sandstorms,  etc.  

 

To get an idea of what I mean,  the best example I can use is Unreal Tournament 3,  Vehicle  Capture the Flag game mode.    There is a desert map,  where occasionally sandstorms blow up... you hear the wind whip,  the sand comes, and surrounds your cockpit... you can't see a thing!   AWESOME!!!  What a way to break up the action in a map!   Perhaps we could have some occasional fog... or maybe realtime day/night lighting for trying the map out in high/low light visibility conditions.  Rain.... maybe some Crysis-style rain drops streaking down the cockpit.... and better yet!! A slight cooling bonus against heat buildup, when it rains.     Also,  maybe a heat buildup penalty in sandstorms!

 

This is very doable, and already set up in Unreal powered games.  

 

Could this be doable?  It might be a good way to breath extra life into these good ol' tried and true maps.

That would be amazing, but let's fix the game before piling any more potential problems on the mountain the devs already have to go through, cause there is plenty of work that needs to be done before new and flashy features can be expanded on.

Oh yes, just let me organise a funeral for my GPU real quick

magnificent.  in garage i can pull 130-160fps, and jump into a prosk match at a glorious 15-25fps.  yes!  we need more load on the servers!  it is so fun chasing mechs and dodging around at the current speeds!  almost like playing on the old fx4600 gpu.

I suppose there would be a config capable of making it not rain or not as much so old pc's could run it.

I've been asking this since alpha. Same with color palette change for Patterns! Because different colored camo's that has the same patterns. And no don't try to sell it to us as a new camo while it's just a color swap. Sell us a toolkit.

Back on the subject, in my blurry memory I have a souvenir that there was some kind of a dust storm in a "bazaar" kind of map.


Oh and I totally forgot THE THING I WAS ALWAYS Whining about:

OLD INTERIOR DASHBOARD

Would be useless when Hawken is being pushed into competitive scene. But imo, that would look with previous version of hawken , now it feels downgraded

As I said...   Try Unreal Tournament 3,  Vehicle CTF.  It's not THAT much of a resource hog.  a decent NVidia 9 series card will look just fine.

Yeah a lot of us don't have Nvidia 9 series or equivalent. I don't and I'm sure many others are like me.

I don't have an Nvidea 9 series card, I have an ATI Radeon 790... and I'm getting the best, most solid and consistent frames out of this new version that I've ever had from Hawken.  It doesn't drop off a bit, not even in situations where 6 mechs are crammed together bombing each other with explody weapons.

its kinda already in the game... If you go outside the boudries in wreckage you see all kinds of neat stuff. Flying butterflies (?) Fog, water, semipermeable trees ect. All the cool stuff is already there, why not use it??
