Turning off lights/power???

[Falconicx]

Can you turn off the power? if not, why even bother having nvgs in the game. I'm still waiting for a proper mission (done about 10 so far) waiting for them to be viable.

We can't turn off power. I haven't heard if it is ever making it to the game or not.

The NVGs have good potential use on a few missions, but with stingers and flashbangs being so hit and miss, the need for gas masks on nearly every mission makes the NVGs useless.

NVGs were handy on the Coyote (tunnel network) mission, I thought.

They're also good in Hide and Seek

That was the only mission I ever used NVGs.

I found them useful across quite a few maps. A lot of the maps in my experience have dark areas where NVGs do great. There's twisted nerve of course, Sins of the Father has some dark rooms, Farm has the cellar area, and I think another map that I'm forgetting.

It's not a "Bravo 6 going dark" the entire map scenario, but they certainly were useful since I don't want to swap from my red dot for a flashlight.

Twisted Nerve / Hide and Seek are the only levels that I felt like I needed them. Anybody got any good map mods suggestions that are night time?

[Prussian Wolf]

Pretty much just hide and seek, and then the tunnel and upper floor of twisted nerve.

Flashlight is completely useless, if it didn't immediately alert everyone then I'd probably consider bringing it on Twisted Nerve.

At some point, I believe it was considered, and soon after you started seeing all these breaker boxes popping on maps (previous hotel map garage). Now I think the idea has been completely abandoned.

You can`t even destroy bulbs (like in 2-decade old games), as it seems the lights are baked into the scenario. And also it would be irrelevant because the enemy AI has thermal+x-ray vision.

power on/off would increase replay-ability but i'm not sure if the a.i is there for stealth

i think some levels would be better aesthetically with lower lighting, neon tomb would be much more intimidating with just the neon lighting on
