GZW: Night Ops World Premiere

[DDG_MFG]

For today's first-time reveal of Night Ops on our MFG Twitch channel, Rick (PR & Communications Director) and Corey (Creator Relations Manager) showcased our work-in-progress tech demo and gave a sneak peek of what's coming later this year in Gray Zone Warfare. Corey also played live and in-game, giving you a firsthand look at the new features and improvements we’ve been working on.

Our first major update is designed for players who crave a deeper, more immersive combat experience. Night Ops will reward tactical skill and adaptability, introducing new tools, highly requested features, and quality-of-life improvements that enhance gameplay during the day and night. Many of these enhancements are thanks to valuable community feedback, for which we are truly grateful.

We can’t wait to hear your thoughts as we prepare to launch Gray Zone Warfare: Night Ops. Stay tuned for more updates, devlogs, posts, and streams as we continue to share new developments leading up to and beyond the release of our first major update.

Nice. I'll see about getting some time stamps and will edit this post as I do so.

Video has timestamps but will add a handful from the Q&A portion:

27:15 - AI Priority?

28:10 - New guns?

28:40 - Night ops using real time or game time?

29:40 - Roadmap when?

30:18 - Stealth Mechanics?

30:45 - NVG Realism?

32:18 - High Value Loot?

33:30 - Optimization and new staff.

A tip to the developers.
Change how the NVG tube works.
As it is now the NVG lights up the right right side while the ADS is still in the middle and this looks both awkward and broken.
Either move the NVG to the middle or have the ADS follow the NVG to the right.

Hey Combat Vet and NVG owner, the PVS-14 is a pain to align each time with the RDS to the center of the Tube, sometimes its off a bit sometimes its on the money. It didn't matter as long as it was visible.

Hi, gamer and FPS enthusiast here.
So yeah, I'm talking about game design and not real life. Or are you going to take a hard stance on this as you did with the heli's, until you finally caved and changed it?
But you do you.

Cool, now i can ride a helicopter for 5 minutes so i can get tagged in the face from 500yrds by a rice farmer with irons on an AK while sitting in a bush AT NIGHT! man i cant wait to sit and wait for a helicopter for another 10 minutes so i can think about how fun that was for five minutes while i ride the helicopter to do it again because now im doing it AT NIGHT! HURRAY!

Watch the video. AI is being changed. Helicopters are faster from one point to another and they come in from off map near your position, rather than flying from your base.

What are you, 10?
Did you retain anything from the preview? Did you even watch it?
They stated many times that they have, and will continue to work on the AI and the choppers

We should judge after the update will come out but you are spot on... the preview addresses those issues. I'm pritty excited.

I deleted that post. It was a little harsh and didnt want to start something that may derail the thread, despite being very annoyed by that post.

I am , however, excited by that preview too

I actually like realistic approach. There is enough good shooters that don't do that, but GZW scratches an itch that other games can't. I would like devs to be true to their vision. If the game will be for everyone than it will loose itself.

It's going to get old, real fast, just like the helicopters.

Long heli rides don’t add to the experience like realistic equipment and weapons do.

As someone who does own high quality dual tube WP Night vision this game does accurately represent how real night vision works. The twinkles in the tubes are highly realistic. One of the best I've seen in a game. Props to developers. If they include IR lights along with lasers that would be sick. I'm hoping for a MAWL :)

So don't play. It's weird to show up to a game's forum acting like a child. Much of the game's design is geared towards realism. If that's not your cup of tea, go play something else instead of trying to browbeat the devs into making the game you want. Thanks!

I'm looking forward to the update, primarily the AI and chopper fixes.

12 people care about night ops, fix Ai like your community has been asking for more then 3 months.

[King Kobra]

broken game, it's already terrible to fight with the AI ​​during the day, at night it's going to be even worse, they're playing the game backwards, unnecessary things are being addressed, in the meantime the AI ​​loot and the performance ask for help.
