Night Map

Hey guys,
I never really went in depth into this, but possibly some sort of night map in a full desert map, kind of like Kashan, but at night. I think that would be just thrilling and amazing.
There should be 2 attack choppers on each team. No jets.
But the pilots and gunners of the attack choppers are equipped with night vision, and they're silent.
I don't care what, but just a night map, that would be AMAZING, and everybody I think would love it.
Thanks,
Peter

That's depressing Rank. I'm actually kind of working on a night map, but it wasn't really going to be a night map because Insurgents don't get NVGs so I was going to have a full moon, does that sound ok?

yeah me to,
its a shame though that the majority of the community hated it mainly due to not being very good at it,
Quotes like
Bi ming makes baby jesus cry
theres no way this many trees in RL
this is unrealistically dark
kind of swayed the mapper ( Dr_Rank ) into making it a day map...

Why? Even Special Forces has official night maps. What is it you don't like about night maps on this engine?
I'm not argumenting, I'm just curious!

Ye I was thinking that too, since special forces has night maps, can't you somehow implement that? I mean I don't know any of this stuff, because I'm a Java programmer, but, it seems plausible with the current engine?
Also kashan at night really would be cool

Kashan at night would own hard.Id love the tracers in a big map going by. Is it hard to do? I mean I think it would be amazing and fun.

Bi Ming night owned Bi Ming day
Bi Ming day lags like a mofo, night played smooth as hell
and as for another night map...I vote a night version of Kasahn and Rameil!

bf2 engine cannot do night lighting justice. Try a night map on crysis and thats how it should be, its all about the shadows I guess but very few nights in real life are pitch black

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.
Bi Ming night owned Bi Ming day
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.

Kashan night is a pretty good map although its kinda hard to fly with the night vision borders around the screen and not being able to see where you are going because you cant see the horizon.
