It would be very cool to have more variety . every exterior maps randomly selects a weather like snow, rain, lightning and changing daytime to midday or night time. Would really help the game be diversified. A desert blizzard in vasgar would be cool. And then sometimes no weather conditions at all.
We have been asking for this and I hope TC might still add this feature.
Might actually be worth tagging someone on this one. @TC_Sera@TC_MichaelAOS this has come up before but itās still a very good idea. Hope you can pass it on to the team. Merry Christmas to you and the team.
Itās been months since I notify it as soon as I see a request for new bosses, new enemies or new mutators that they have integrated.
there could also be hail, wind, earthquake and / or eruption (Pahanu) ā¦
The maps are not āaliveā and that contributes to deep boredom.
But suitable weather changes would be fine with meā¦
Last time in Gears 4 people complained about day/versions of maps we already have, when in reality it probably took the devs 2 seconds to change the time of the map in the engine, I would like to see these kinds of maps back towards the end of the content roll out so people canāt moan about rehashed mapsā¦
As for weather maps Iād like to see more variety in environmental hazards like that map hail from gears 2 for example or the windflare from āwindflare reclaimedā.
Night & day cycles would be good for Horde matches, Iād love to see Asylum in the daytime and Bunker would look soooooooooooo much better at night ā¦
Only way I see them ever doing this would be if Gears 6 also had dynamic weather in the Campaign (for continuity purposes) but as of right now no chance they would ever do it, not only would it probably just make the process take far longer (having to make multiple skyboxes/palates for a map is much harder than just making one) and it would just make every map feel more generic as now every map could be night/day or fall/winter and so on, nevermind the tons of visual bugs it would introduce.
Sounds Like a interesting idea, minor weather would give the maps a little variety to the mix, like time-of-day: Dawn - Dusk, i would like to see if it is possible to add destructibles ( like a floor with a spike pit, or explodeable car, crate, etc⦠hidden in a mix of stuff. but that may be to difficult to add.
it doesnāt have to be real time weather, they can have them as a setting you set it to, like in a custom match where you have options to change it to day-night or snow-rain. Instead in ranks they select it for you. map settings is the idea here. None of these features are over the top, its majority just different texture maps and using preexisting features that are already included in the game or in previous gears titles.
Iām actually not a huge fan of that. At least for ranked. I donāt think gimmicks like that add anything to the gameplay, and in fact impede it.
But I could see how it could work for PvE modes.
