What is this, Dr Zeus? I thought we were mechwarriors?

[Zelumbras]

Just an idea i had when playing Viridian Bog but it esentially applies to all maps:
Bog is beautiful and i really like all the small details like the entangled Atlas and the lighting but to stay competitive in matches one spends about half of the match in thermal vision since it offers a lot more contrast for earlier detect enemy 'mechs. Bog also has a lot of fog (less now i guess) but even so the air is saturated with water vapor - which absorbs a lot of infrared light, more so than visible wavelenghts.
I have no idea honestly how much work it would be to implement but it would be great if heatvision was less effective there compared to other maps with less humidity - or even without much atmosphere at all like HPG. The simplest way to implement this would probably be to give each map a different global heat vision max range althouth things like a fading out of contrast with range depending on the local humidity/fog would be awesome too (but the detailed version might be a pain to include).

Other than that, i really look forward to level some of the few remaining unmastered 'mechs this weekend

Are we just losing our minds waiting for the patch? Orion prescription drugs?

You better be careful. Thor might strike you down with his Thunderbolt for all the fun you are having. Loki would be proud of all the fun you are having.

To give camo more meaning and see more of the actual Map, Dog.

[Thunder Child]

Well, it does have an Ember of truth in there. Thermal should be quite heavily affected in a humid environment. I mean, if you want to be the Protector of Grey Vision, by all means. But it is such a beautiful map. Surely you can understand why they would want players to admire their Pretty Baby.
