Dynamic weather pattern

Recommended Posts

It would be great to have "real" weather patterns for the map. I mean that It would be possible to have rain at one location and sun at another and as the wind blows the weather would gradually change.

That sounds very cool.

Waiting for the storm and waiting for the weather to clear up.

I would also like to see some cold and warm and hot that can effect the players ability to shoot,run,and ability to communicate.

maybe an isobar overlay constructed in a similar way to the terrain where you raise the parts with high pressure to push wind around mountains (assuming only horizontal wind modelled). Maybe get to stick on some fronts or something.

Sounds a bit much initially but having linear wind would start to get silly in places where it should be travelling along gullies or valleys. There must be some way of having a simple but effective and believable wind direction calculation method.

That would be nice but it would be too much work to do.

Not sure if they would have much choice but to include some kind of wind map otherwise, since the inclusion of wind is almost confirmed, it would be linear and that would mean having wind perpendicular to some walls/cliffs which would immediately inherit criticism for lack of realism.

I think that even localised wind alterations which tell the game how to react to certain significant geographical features would be satisfactory.

Wind on trees would be nice, makes it harder to spot soldiers and especially snipers in ghillie suits, but I think that would be a large performance hit with all those leaves moving around .

Thats a nice idea, i think it should been added to weather stystem

The ability to change the season (Winter, Summer, etc)

Also if they implement a new water stystem, and river (from any point of the island) they should add diferent height waves to sea, and a variable current for rivers.

What i think that would be wicked would be when it rains water would fill up, that would be the ultimate stuff. think about u being on a dry "little river" then starts raining and it starts flowing and filling up, and creating a water course.
