I'd also like a rangefinder, please.
Or actually, I'd like to have something such as HUD customizations. Of course, not getting that, since it probably requires a HUD rewrite.

What is the range on that thing, 30cm?

For vehicles Night Vision is 500m, Thermal is 350m. Infantry NV starts fading out at 50m and becomes completely dark at 130m.

I still find the NV on my magriders main gun to be useful, you just now need to pay as much attention as during the day to spot infantry.

I think that was the point. Kanil was trying to say how awful he thought the new night vision was, because it gave you no vision at night. :P

I have a couple of other screenshots that paint NV in a slightly better light... but it's virtually useless. At least in that section of Indar, at that time of night, with my graphic settings.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.
Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

Hey, you must have graphics on Low. I had that before I changed them.
Putting it on Medium helps with that, and (how funny it might not sound) actually helps with FPS on low-end computers (such as mine). If you're interested, just ask.

And thanks Neyvn, hopefully timezones work in my favor. >:}

Yeah, I turned everything to low when they mentioned they were nerfing IRNV, to see what it was like. I kinda liked spotting infiltrators easily, and haven't really changed it. This might be a reason to switch it off, but I don't ever really tank.

It just sort of made me laugh. I wasn't knowing what to expect, but basically all black with a little green wasn't it.

So i was playing as a engy in a lightening armed with the stock gun AND ran into 3 Vanguards preocupied with something far away thinking they're artilery.

So i drove behind them... no reaction.
I fired a full salvo at the nearest Vanguards rear... i don't know if it was damaged before but it freaking exploded andi got the kill exp.
I hide expecting the remaining 2 will slaughter me in the next 10 seconds nut no.
They retreated and hid behind the ammo tower thinking they were getting killed by whatever they were aiming at in the distance (It was probably a prowler) and one of them took a hull down position exposing his rear to me... so yeah another salvo and another boom (actually 2 slavos but he didn't seem to care enough so swing the turret in my direction) the driver ran away but i saw and killed him...

AND THE THIRD VANGUARD WAS STILL TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS... so i unloaded another clip into his side armor...
HE FINALLY NOTICED ME.
Swung his mighty turret in my direction and began aiming down at me (fired and took half of my health) while crawling towards me backwards with his REAR armor facing me.
Another salvo and he was dead as well.

I jumped out to repair my beloved light tanks and got killed by a Scythe.

The end.

Seems typical.
I remember even before getting my SMG, I was running around with a silenced stock semi-auto sniper rifle.
I come up to a small base, see about 15 heavies, engineers and MAXes standing on the ridge, just shooting down.

I knifed about 6 people before someone realized I was killing them. I hid for 30 seconds - they forgot about me.
I then come behind folks and headshot-then-knife them. Killed everyone but the MAXes.
I throw down a grenade. One guy panics and runs off the cliff, the other guy chased me for several minutes before I got him.

That was the single most fun moment ever.


Oh, and then I got run over by a scythe in several minutes. And I play as Vanu... >.>

I used to be a PS2 player just like you, then I got killed by a Scythe.

The episode of MLG War Report featuring my outfit is now live.

It was something of a lagfest thanks to the latest patch, but should be interesting to watch anyway.
