Showdown:Goggles vs Dust!

Pence · Post by **Pence** » 2006-05-07 19:35

Everyone who has SF should put there hands up at this, people who dont have SF then well done, you did not waste your money.

Anyway, you all notice that some of the soldiers are wareing goggles on there helmet, you may notice also that dust and tiny specles of debris is kicked up by helicopters and the dust trail from land vehicals; well i thought that a button should be designated to put a set of goggles on.
The reason why, Well the dust that is kicked up should temporarily phase the players view like the tear gas on SF. It also means that the helicopter passengers will be more vunerable wile they land or are boarding helicopters because of a limited view or they are partialy blind.
The reason why a player cant ware goggles all the time is because obviously they have more of a limited vision.

wow, i personaly want to see for dust and mud in general. With specs of it hitting the screen. Wth jeeps kicking and tanks kicking up more and helis making massive clouds if they land aroudn sand. And googlles would be very coool, i say implaemnt thme in PR.4 . !!!!!!!!
And you can put them on at any time, they all so act as semi sunglasses, blocking out massive glare but slightly happering view inside.

thats actually a really good idea, maybe we could do something like that in .4

if you don't have you're goggles on, then whenever you get near any sort of dust effect, you get blurry for a bit... i like it.

Sounds like a good idea, Pence. There were some addons that did that in OFP.

BUT WE ARE USING BF2 engine not a 5 year old masterpiece of technology!

Top_cat, as much as i am restraining myself, you must realise that i would love to throw myself at DICE and ask them if its possable to throw genade in vBF2.

Not everythink is imposable.

sounds like a good idea for sure.. everything that adds to realism is cool

adding dust/sun glasses/googles would make PR dev team to boost up the dust cloude around hellis when they land or go close to ground same with fast driving tanks and jeeps.

the way you put that , makes it sound so simple!

Well, Couldnt you make the same effect as the tank has when you get close to it when it fires? Just make it where when your to close to the chopper it does that.

Yea, exsept i hate it how you slow down from shellshock.

When a tank fires, the crew inside does not get shellshock so why should a guy who is takeing cover behind the tank get it?

Because tank crews wear ear protection.

Not if your in the UK army likely be buying your own.

Well in reality the tank crew has special protection from shellshock otherwise they would be useless in battle. Whereas marines ectr. would only have regualr ear protection pretty useless agaisnt the shock wave from a tank shell firing.
As to googles and the dust issue if we could implente fastroping from a Black Hawk. Then we could have some BHD moments and that would be awesome.

BHD for the win! I would love to see gogles implimented. Would be very cool/realistic. Make it like button 8 and then you put on your gogles.

Well cant the "Gas mask" from SF be used as googles? I kinda like to wear them around since I paintball... kinda makes it like paintball with m16's and stuff. Lol.

I would love a map maybe in the desert where there are suspected MEC biological weapons... could be a single objective mod and the US or British team would have on gas masks
