Scipio Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Has somebody noticed already that there are options like rain and fog in the editor, which currently can not be selected? Am I missing something, or is this a preparation for the future already? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Yeah, I saw those the first night, when I messed with the editor...at first I thought we'd have them...then I saw we couldn't select them...but it does look like a preview for the weather in Normandy. I liked the many options. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSX Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hmm, why have them in a game when its not viable? I thought CMA was a teatre in a box? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AslakH Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I've already posted a thread about weather, asking the same question. We didn't behave, so they didn't give us weather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJFHutch Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Weather would be so immersing ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AslakH Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 So would hand to hand combat. And pistols. And just more stuff. Why would they leave out weather and hand to hand combat? Seems like something that one wouldn't accidentally forget putting in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't remember :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSX Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I seem to remember that no hand to hand may be because of the animations involved? And not something thats just not possible due to code limitations etc. Again, weather in Afghanistan would be nice, as Afghanistan does have weather sometimes. Once more I dont know the difficulties of implementing weather and what effect this may have on frame rates etc. Even on higher spec PCs a lot of on screen clutter seems to slow the game down. To be honest, Id rather not see weather and have the CQB animations if there were a choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chops Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 As CMX2 evolves, weather effects will be implemented. So they have already coded the GUI for weather options in the latest build of the engine. It has previously been mentioned by Battlefront that the game following Normandy will have snow (Battle of the Bulge). Seems that if you have snow, they would include rain also. It was quite rainy during the summer of 44', so who knows, we may see rain earlier than the Bulge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping they were holding back these conditions from the Afghan game because they want Normandy to showcase the BIG new features firt. Only say that because it seems awful weird to have these choices in CMA and not be able to select them. Why include it if it's not gonna be utilized later? Anyway, if these choices are the same in Normandy...it's a helluva a lot more weather conditions than CMX1 offered for summer.

sawomi Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I hope for simulated fog fields in depressed areas at latest for the Bulge-module. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny(FGM) Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I am hoping they were holding back these conditions from the Afghan game because they want Normandy to showcase the BIG new features firt. Rain isn't that big of a feature when you think of it, it's effects on a battlefield are roughly the same as haze so i can't imagine why it would be that difficult to put in. Then again if that was the case why not have it in CMA? Personally I hope it comes in on a patch as i'm assuming there were a significant amount of scenario opportunities where rain/snow was involved. Please correct me if i'm wrong : ) PS If Rain isn't in normandy it will be a major cop out : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneymaxx Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Rain isn't that big of a feature when you think of it, it's effects on a battlefield are roughly the same as haze ... IIRC the rain setting in CMx1 did not only effect LOS and spotting but the ground condition as well. If they implemented this in CMx2 as well it would have quite an impact on tactics. Oh those sweet memories of my Tigers bogging down :mad:. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC bogging is increased if you set ground conditions to wet both in CMx1 and CMx2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Weather and ground condition were always separate even in CMx1, so you could have rain and dry ground. Only in operations it would have an effect, because in subsequent missions you could bet your nads that the ground was going to be soaked... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
