Yes. Yes it has. However, It seems to be 10 times worse now on Veridian bog. Heat vision only shows the silhouette of a very distorded mech image. You can't make out any terrain features to navigate while in heat vision.

So... you're saying you WANT to spend all your time in heat vision mode?

At night, I would like at least one vision mode to be acceptable, so I didn't constantly have to switch vision modes depending on range.

Oh, how I miss predator vision. Maybe it can be made available to scout mechs again some day, via the new skill trees.

Darn it! Where is my Enhanced Imaging View!

I actually do miss the old Predator Vision, even if it did give away a mech's position over really long ranges (not to mention it was more Hollywood and less realistic).

Regardless, I miss the old thermal.

use nvg on Frozen city while it snows heavily, then zoom in, you'll be surprised how clean and crisp everything looks.

I know spotlights were in MW4, but to me, it just feels wrong to me lol.

It just feels too old school for the 31st century. Like giving a modern solider a carrier pigeon instead of a radio Posted Image.

My computer wishes we had enhanced vision. It's hard to hit anything with a projectile at 18-23 fps :(

I also wonder if your experience with different vision modes varies with your computer. I know I have seen videos where you can clearly see the enemy mech in heat vision with just a little bit of a halo around it. On my computer they are fuzzy blobs and you can't even tell if they are facing you at over 50m (a very, very bad thing in a locust).
