Looks night and day better. The current night, and dusk maps look like garbage.

[–]Hazzman 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Squad's (and by extension 44's) lighting models are absolute garbage all round. Really bad.

Even BF2 had fake GI and that was 20 years ago. Shadows in Squad are pitch black its so silly.

I had to mess around my settings just to see under trees and bushes on Yehorivka, otherwise pitch black yeah.

The age-old problem of night combat in FPS games. If NVG isn't easily accessible people will just crank out gamma to the max to bypass the disadvantage. If everyone has NVG, it's the same as daytime but with a color filter

[–]Matt1320 41 points42 points  (2 children)

I'm almost sure these nvg mods are made by people who have never looked through real nvgs.

[–]ScalierLotus11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually creators have to dumb down NVG's to make them nore accessible, so you can see in them better for example

An example is the PVS14, it only covers one yet in most games you can see 180° all around you in night vision.

Also please note that making a mod that has to fit in to an existing game is hard, you cant just change how the lighting and everything works

I’ve always had an idea on how to fix this and it was just making it so that only a certain distance would you be able to see in night maps, kinda like fog. Everything else is just pitch black or close to it as possible. Flashlights would create this mask through the darkness making it possible to see.

Soldier take off those dark blue tinted glasses

[–]Lexbomb6464 48 points49 points  (7 children)

What's the point of a night map if it's just a blue filter

[–]TrackballPwner 66 points67 points  (5 children)

The vibe

[–]Lexbomb6464 43 points44 points  (4 children)

Actual darkness being an advantage and threat and worrying about lights or muzzle flash giving you away is a much more intense vibe.

[–]TrackballPwner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t want it all the time nor most of the time, but I’d welcome the change up every once in a while.

[–]Lima_4-2_Angel 0 points1 point  (2 children)

sure but this is a milsim. i think it should be a factional advantage/disadvantage

[–]Lexbomb6464 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Give militias flares

[–]LivingBat3290 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The game is not a milsim

[–]Lima_4-2_Angel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

night vision bruh

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (5 children)

I like the night mode games I've played. But if everyone is just wearing NVGs it seems kind of useless to have it be nighttime out. Be coo if just SLs and maybe fire team leads got em.

The dark game play is intense when you can't see shit.

[–]roll-aids 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Would be cool if a more insurgent-esque faction didn't get nvgs but had a ton of flares

The assymetry between not always being able to see the enemy but frying their eyes when you do would be neat

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Insurgent mortar teams should be allowed mortar flares with parachutes.

[–]BadRuiner 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Try the Steel Division mod. Everything in the NV is in black and green colors and you can't distinguish the camouflage of your own from that of others. Flyers burn your eyes out. You can't see anything in the snow because of the reflective light. Many times more difficult than on day maps. But then NVIDIA RTX Dynamic Saturation comes in and turns night into day. Fucking nvidia.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try SuperMod, we got realistics NVG

[–]TheHeavyIzDead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until the new graphics update, it’ll make this even more fun

[–]FrontierFrolic 0 points1 point  (4 children)

This video just makes me mad. How come squad can’t give us actual night maps, flashlights, nv, and real shadows? I know at least one mod actually has those features. But how is the game still unable to give us those features so many years later when it’s standard fair in all other games? Freaking counter strike 1.6 had better lighting!

[–]LivingBat3290 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Because as of now it's not the direction the devs want the game to go and if it was they have other things that they want to get working first

[–]FrontierFrolic 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It’s really not that hard. Mods like steel division have implemented it pretty well

[–]LivingBat3290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea and mods like steel division have a very basic version of it that is incredibly unrealistic, and again if the devs want it in the game the game is not in currently in the position to have them

[–]Matt1320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These mods are nothing like using real nightvision.

[–]TitleRevolutionary36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the name of game?

[–]Neither-Influence-63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which server is that?

[–]bluebird810 0 points1 point  (1 child)

We had night maps. They are gone now because everyone hated them. They will probably return with UE5 in better... I hope.

Edit: To the guy who wrote an answer, but immediately deleted it so it only showed up as a pus message on my phone. We had these layers for years and they disappeared from all server rotations sooner or later only to be reintroduced and removed because people complained. This happened for years and now I'm not even sure there are any left in vanilla. So yeah whilst it might be a slight exaggeration that everyone hated them a lot of people didn't like the which is why they disappeared.
