Guest MAJ.Kaossilator=US= Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 If anyone already posted this, let me know... this sounds awesome! And yes, I can't stand Zavod but this sounds AMAZING if EA pulled it off properly :) http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/news/view/battlefield-4-night-operations-tactical-strategy-guide/ What changes when playing a Battlefield 4™ map that takes place at night? How can you best exploit this new setting and come out the victor? This tactical guide will get you started and ready for nighttime play in Battlefield 4 Night Operations when it releases in September 2015.

Here are some examples: Destructible lights At night, the map is littered with destructible lights, which you can use to your advantage. Want to make sure you gain the upper hand using night vision scopes? Take all lights out in an area and prey on your enemies! Ground Level fog At night, the exterior areas are blanketed in a thick fog – this fog makes it very hard to spot players on the ground from above – unless you sport a night vision scope… Vehicle lights All vehicles have lights, which makes anyone inside an easy target – don’t use vehicles if you want to stay hidden! Flanking routes With darkness descending on the map, using flanking routes on the side of the map is a very viable tactic to get around the center area and take a backside objective from the enemy. Use new Gun Master to your advantage We’ve added a new Gun Master weapon preset with night vision and utility in mind – use to practice night time play if you haven’t unlocked all the needed gadgets yet. It really shines when played on the alternate Gun Master layout on Zavod: Graveyard Shift!

Think about what cues you give off: Sprinting Gets you quickly from point A to B, but makes footstep sounds which makes you easy to pinpoint and prey on. Vehicle usage Being in a vehicle normally means relative safety, but headlights and engine sounds put a rather large target on your back Flashlight, laser, and other weapon attachments While great help in an engagement, they draw attention to your position and exact location.

This works best in narrow passages, like the underground tunnel between C & D for instance. Flare + LMG Used as a Smoke + Nightvision counter, Flares negate the positive aspects of night vision scopes, and you’ll be able to blanket the area with bullets as it’s engulfed in smoke. Flashbangs + Shotgun/PDW A tactic viable in both and nighttime play. Using a flashbang against a night scope user gives you a significant advantage in the dark, even more so than using a flashbang under normal conditions. Clean it up with a well-placed shotgun blast and you’re deadlier than ever. Dirty, dirty claymores & mines Claymores are very effective at nighttime, especially if you are being hunted. Remember to use sounds to your advantage, or why not your flashlight? AT Mines are also very effective in negating that pesky tank, but they do have a new little red blinky light attached to them, so you’re not all out of luck if you’re controlling a vehicle if you keep your eyes peeled! We hope that this information equips you the tools you need for the night time playstyle. See you during the Graveyard Shift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.Maj.ShadowOp=US= Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 This will only work sir if they can truly pull of dark properly and not just make it so you can up your gamma for an advantage. I've only seen 3 games implement dark properly 1. Planetside 2 (pre 1.9 patch where they ruined it) 2. Insurgency 3. The Witcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MAJ.Kaossilator=US= Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 It's EA so... we'll see lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RTL Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Should be good, however if its anything like on the CTE its basically a gamma fix with messed up visuals when using thermals. Well see though fingers crossed id love nothing more than to have a bf4 that we can switch from day to night!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MAJ.Kaossilator=US= Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Yeah I'm kind of hoping they treat it like levolution, where the night time fires at a certain point in the map, or triggered by an event. So you have to make some changes to your play style on the fly, but that may be asking a lot :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RTL Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 That doesn't seem like to much at all! they do it already to a point on parcel storm. I think it would be great if we had actual transitions like that, even better question is in battlefront will we have nighttime laser battles!

Guest MAJ.Spartan-S63=US= Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I saw a tweet from a DICE lighting engineer (or whatnot) that said that a few of the maps (in their current form) can't ship to the Gen3 consoles because they can't handle the number of dynamic lights. It's possible our PC release will be hindered by the technical capabilities of the Gen3 consoles because the DICE dev doesn't know whether or not they'll include the unmodified PC versions or ship all the same maps on all the same systems.

Guest RET.GEN.Darmine Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 We going to put the night maps on our servers intel PA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MAJ.Kaossilator=US= Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 We going to put the night maps on our servers intel PA? Definitely sir, I've been working overtime hours this week so had no chance yesterday. If i have team viewer running still in my pc I should be able to remote in and get it done while at work.

Guest RET.TSgt.Warlord=US= Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Unfortunately their software coding for the night mode isn't.... up to pair gentlemen, while it is definitely a nice change with the fog of war they added, if you turn up the gamma most of the darkness goes away but leaves you with the fog of war, almost as if the sun was rising through the early morning fog. I personally turn my gamma down even lower just to enjoy a more darker feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MAJ.Kaossilator=US= Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Teamviewer gets a thumbs up yet again from me :) EA gets another thumbs down from me based on TSgt's comments. But I have yet to play it myself, so I guess I should withhold judgement ;) Quick reminder, if you see our server showing as 'Custom' instead of 'Hardcore' please post that up. It kills our chances of popping, and seems to come up more often after big releases with server code changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest L1ght Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 How the night works in this map is, yes, increasing your gamma kind of cheats out the darkness, however, the night actually shifts from being bright lit with moonlight, to pitch black. If you increase your gamma to 100, then when it becomes moonlit, it is much too bright to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MAJ.Kaossilator=US= Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Interesting... could be a clever way of sabotaging those who rig their gamma. How often does the moon show up? Or is it a one-time change and people can adjust their settings once and get away with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest L1ght Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It Slowly changes about 5 mins moonlit, 5 mins dark, and back and forth. I dont find gamma rigging that useful also because the places that are dark, are like #FFFFFF black which isnt changed by gamma., where most places that are even slightly light, you usually can just track people's motion. The sheer amount of IRNV is astounding though, which makes flares SUPER Good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.LT.Padarom=US= Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 #FFFFFF black That is white though Pfc :P I think there's not a lot you can do about people playing with their gamma to get rid of some of the effects, due to the nature of this setting. But at least the brightness is shifting enough so it's not exactly worthwhile to change the gamma value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ret.CPO.heavyassault=US= Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I personally think EA did a great job with the map, the fog present in the map makes gamma rigging very difficult since at high gamma setting the fog is too much to be able to play, for a night bases map lighting is everything and I feel they handled it well, on a chopper it is extremely difficult to get a view of the ground. Hope more maps get the night treatment. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
