Snow Weather Option
« on: February 01, 2012, 05:04:42 AM »
I just saw Halftrack's BotB snow atmosphere add-on for Relic maps, and I was wondering if EF could do the same thing, considering the weather actually played such an important part on the Eastern Front.

I wanna see Ruskies in winter outfits too ;D. But the snow map thing is cool too :P. I think BotB has ALL snow maps IIRC (edited it and stuff :P)

I second this option, it seems like wouldn't be the biggest ass pain to implement (at least compared to some other things)

@ Hooker:

Ruskies don't need fucking winter clothes lol  They're used to the cold.

I seriously wouldn't mind even if winter became the ONLY atmosphere option, even for the Relic maps.  Snow is just epic and makes the battles seem even more brutal.  If you get hit by a bullet, your blood spays all over the white snow like fucking Kool-Aid, and you get to freeze to death while you bleed out and whimper like a little bitch.

I dont think it looks like this in game play :P. Especially not like Kool Aid on the side of the road ;D. Nor do some ppl pay attention to the blood (sometmes its cool to see the bodies lying around like a real battle scene though). But regardless I still would like winter maps.

But wouldnt that mean all the maps have to be winter, wheter you want it or not ???

But then we will need a skinpack for the Russians, -winter clothes, white tanks and all- otherwise it would look funny

Not really :P. As me teacher put it: "Russians just go out in the winter with no shirt and with a bottle of VOdka in one hand and a AK-47 in the other hand screaming "I am Ruskie Grizzly bear! Fear me!". And they are still fine" ^^

Then it's a shame :D.

Anyway we are probably going to include the snow weather option.
