This map is awful. The film grain is so thick you have no depth of field. You can't tell what is 500 meters away or 50 meters away. You have to play the entire time in thermal or night vision. ITS A DAY MAP!!! Everything is the same color.

Please clean up the film grain a little on this map PGI.

It's a low visibility environment.

A bit foggy or smoggy. It adds character. Not every map can have perfect long sight lines.

You mean the map where you can ping enemies from across the map with Gauss and ERPPCs?

r_HDRGrainAmount=0.0


Go find your user.cfg file in your game folder. Add this line. Congrats, no more film grain.

Awesome! Thanks!

Also, most of the maps have areas where you can ping enemies from the otherside with gauss and PPC.

A lot of the older, smaller maps, yes. Back before they moved spawn points you'd have snipers in River City nailing each other from less than 10 meters from their start points.

Also, since you didn't know about turning off film grain, I wager I'll do you a little favor:

gp_option_ShowCockpitGlass= 0


Add that to your cfg file and it turns off the cockpit glass.

I personally dont like it when you have to use a different vision mode just less appealing for me.

I never do. Even on RCN, there are precious few places where normal vision doesn't work better for me - longer range.

Ah, one of my favs. The "lets all jam into this small tight space and get picked off one by one" map

Not to be outdone by the "lets all rush to the center and then jam the entrances" map

;)

We should petition PGI to release the Original Forest Colony as a new map. That is their best map so far. Best in that it enhances the Mech's size visualization at any range. Mechs look BIG!

Here, take a look for yourself.









Size matters. This great version of Forest Colony is just sitting around ready to go. Let's get it in the rotation.

Pretty much. Every map except the hot ones I'm on heat vision as soon as the main engagement goes to under 500m.
