That's what everyone said. "Oh, there's not this many trees in RL", "Why is it so dark?" yadda yadda yadda.GreedoNeverShot wrote:with the terrible night vision bf2 has, the evidence of past night maps failure (why is Bi ming day now?), and the overall hardness of even hitting a target in PR, a map like Kashan would be a nightmare for a night map. A much smaller map, that still had lighting (lamps and moonlight NOT PITCH BLACK) and close quarters, I believe would be better.
Overall however, good maps are ruined by adding night.
Everyone hated that map! Noone ever even ran it! Whenever it loaded, half the server had left, and we map voted to a better map. Bi Ming day you could actually see, and play, therefore it was fun.
Bi Ming is laid out very nicely-I think the only flaw was that it -was- pitch black. Had it been just a bit lighter (considering the moon is full, and there are external light sources on the map), you'd have some ambient lighting (granted, it would still be utter darkness, but not pitch black. Just lighten it a tad and give it a blue-grey tint, and viola. Nightvision is still applicable, but you can still get through some areas without it, if you can see that well.
