I dont know whether this has been mentioned yet, but I really like the idea of smoke floating through maps e.t.c, maybe dust or snow. Currently in RO smoke disipates vertically, I would very much like to see smoke moving horizontally across the map in the general direction of the wind.

In addition I would really like tree/ bushes to shudder and sway dramatically if for example a grenade or tank shell / tank cannon happened to explode / fire next to some foliage.

plenty of dust can be seen, though i would like more some and the the current smoke to look like its being affected by wind.

i think you should just have a randomizer (optional or just a server side select.

where you can change time of day, and weather. this would be complicated but would each map awesome because each map would be like 10 maps because of the small changes.

easy way to make it seem like there's more maps. (makes it harder on the modders but be a really really nice touch. even if they add it in later.)

(i don't want to see effects on game-play but esthetically i want. maybe lots of fog. :D)

A nice little gimmick would be if you could see your own breath on very cold maps. Particularly after some exhausting sprint or in some quiet minute where you wait around a corner. I have not seen any multiplayer game so far which gave the player REALLY the feeling he was fighting in some environment be it either very cold or really hot. The suggestion somehow reminds me to Metro 2033 where you needed a gas mask if you wanted to leave the underground vaults and metro stations because of the pollution. That was somewhat awesome and gave the game a really great feeling because the mask would of course change your vision slightly and you could hear your character breath. So anything that gives your character a bit more "life" would be welcome. Shaking hands (sometimes) or a visible breath (as well sometimes). I mean the game will probably have sounds for food steps on snow anyway no ?

yeah that would be cool if it was hooked up to the breathing system thats in the game, id very much like to see this and with it properly done its not even really a gimmick.
