About the dark

[Outsider]

Well, every weapons isn't equipped of a flashlight, so it is a bit problematic for some people who doesn't like to fight with 9 mm or shotgun.
So, just a little idea for some perks :
- commando could have a night vision google, which would be switched on instead of the flashlight and would have a limited energy like the flashlight
- berserker could have a natural ability to see in the dark just like cat. So it wouldn't be limited like the night vision google.

What do you think of it ?

 

[.H.u.H.a.]

i agree!!!

 

[avp2501]

some great ideas.

ok the berzerker night vision isn't realistic but i guess i could call him a ex prisoner of horzine which escaped and now he fights against them with his handy ability

Yeah, it isn't the most realistic, but I was thinking the berserker is the being the closest from the beast in all the perks !

Commando doesn't really need that since he has his health bars though.

the simpliest solution: add NVG to the shop, cost 200. Problem is over.

That is somewhat helpful for mobs, but he still can't see his way through dark areas(doorways and such) so I think it would be nice, plus it seems to fit the 'commando' role quite well.

I was thinking that instead of allowing the Berserker to see in the dark, something like Thermographic Vision might fit a bit better, or atleast be a nice touch.

"Snaplight" which you could be bought at the trader (wieght:1 ammount: 2-4 cost: 50)....

Well, I was just thinking of some some new caracteristics for each perks.
But indeed, Night Vision Google could be bought at the trader, but commando could have it naturally (it fits its style well IMHO) !

I'd have to say make nvg's available for purchase, or flashlights able to be attached to any (save melee) weapons. Only downfall i see with the flashlights being for purchase would be the people wanting to be able to add other things to the weapons. (Would be nifty, but a lot of work)

NVG is a good idea.
It worked excellently in Half Life: Opposing Force.

I suggest it be in the tools category, but operational no matter what item is equipped, using the flashlight key. Actually equipping it is just for dropping it.

Commando perk being associated with it would make sense, as they're the military intelligence guys. At level 6 it should have a clearly discernible image, last forever, and be cheap. [$50]

For other perks it would be availible but far less practical, lasting as long as a flashlight, not a very clear image, and costing $300.


I'm not sure how well it would fit on all the skins though, particularly the hazmat and EOD suits. I suppose it could be inside their visors.

As previously stated in other threads NVGs or Thermals would ruin the basis behind the darkness but adding flashlights to guns or as someone else suggested a head mounted flashlight so you could have a flashlight with whatever weapon you want.

I like that you're forced to be vulnerable in exchange for light, though. I'd much prefer if you had to lay down flares or glow sticks in order to see. The light is less strong, gives an eerie, uncomfortable feeling, and helps to better retain the atmosphere in my opinion.

please guys, no night vision laser eyes splinter cell type stuff. the darkness in the maps is meant to HELP the zombies just like the corn in KF-Farm, or the obstacles in west london. its there for more than just looks, its there for a purpose: dark parts in a map are there to help the zombies eat on time.

OR instead of spending your hard earned money on crap and not buying an AA12 you can just turn your gamma up to 1.2 to 1.5. '
OR console rmode 6.

...

Seriously I usually have to turn up my gamma when playing darker maps.

 

[SMIFF]

i dont like that berserker idea

and whilst your at it...you may aswell ask TW to just remove all darkness lol

 

[JESUSgotNAILED]

Some good ideas in here.

I agree that we need more ways to use the flashlight. Too many times have I ran into a strong specimen that the pistols can't dent, while going down those pitch black staircases.

 

[ZomgzoR]

NVGs... still in huge disagreement with these

oh maybe a giant LOLcannon wich fires torches evrywhere

OK back to seriousness i think a commando gun with a torch on wouldnt be too bad
I also agree with the Glowsticks/flares idea
