Same maps....with random weather.....love this idea. Would create a whole new dimension to each map and break standard play styles and strategy.

SIgned...

Maybe make it a "Surprise" though. So, instead of voting for a night/rain/snow whatever map, you vote for the map of your choice and you don't see what the weather is like until the map loads.

100% agree with that... but I dig randomness to break things up.

Definatly agree and this is something i've been hoping to come for a long time.

I think the biggest point is that the issue with CoD matches is there isn't a lot of variety(I don't mean gametypes,plenty of those, I mean how those gametypes are played). You know exactly what you are going to get. You know exactly what the sightlines are going to be. You know exactly where the buildings are, where the windows are, where the objectives are. So what always happens is... people do the same thing on every map. How many people out there hate to hear this- "Oh, this map. I have the greatest spot on this one!" Really? Really? You are going to go to the same spot? Objective games can be a nightmare with the spawn frags and camping because, lets face it, everyone knows where to go. TDM and Free For All matches become unplayable because people learn the predictable, redundant spawns.

I think we'd all like to see some variety in the series. Something like the OP is suggesting or some of the suggestions in this thread would make every match unique. Battlefields are ever-changing, conditions are ever changing.. in CoD they are eternally sunny, or dark, or snowy. It would be amazing to battle the elements and battle the playing field as much as you battle the opponent.

Very much agree with your assessment about map familiarity... having weather would change that dynamic and just make it more fun and interesting.

One side would like to see the maps in different times and weather times, but I think they could better use the effort in fixing stuff before release and maybe more weapons orso.

That would be amazing! that could bring in a totally new attachment, the torch/flashlight

II'm thinking night, moon only light, bombed out city, all you have to go by is the sound of crunching boots and muzzle flashes....nice

I think the point is that you never know what you are going to get when you go into a map. Could be day, could be night. Could be raining, or snowing, or foggy, or windy, or sunny... Correct me if I am wrong, Rank, but I think that is what he was suggesting. Not that the weather changes in-game, but each match you deal with different elements.

I like the idea, but I have to disagree. Your idea needs to be tweaked a bit. Weather doesn't change just like that, and games don't last that long to really have a realistic change in weather that's actually noticeable. I think maps should have preset weather. Rain that will start to poor harder as the game progresses ,or a fog, etc!

Wasn't suggesting it change from rain, to snow, to fog...

That is be raining... or snowing... or foggy.

But it sure is the weather in Oregon...

True to that, besides my "reasons to prestige" forum! aside from that, i would like to see the weather from the campaign, such as mw2 snowy map with acr red dot silencer and heart beat. That map with the intense snow blizzard, where you couldnt see 5 feet in front of you. Not like the map storm, although i liked that map. We need more variables for more realistic game types, i would like to see more game types like search.

That's my POV... make the map an element to be contended with in a meanigful way.

Not saying it shouldn't be done, just using that map as an example.

There is so much more to Kowloon than those two things...

I think having variable weather puts an additional strain development which is why it hasn't really changed in any title. I'm all for more night maps. I'm open to anything they decide to do, I just want a game that's fun to play.

True true I would be happy if they reprised this map or reskinned it.

Nightfire from WaW was one of my all time favorite maps. A bombed out city at night with a few fires and some street lights to illuminate the map.

More night maps are a must.

Forgot about that map... that's the kind of map i hope makes it into BO2.
