I think, and Krusty correct me if I'm wrong, what he's saying is people would game the game when we had night and turn their gamma settings way up effectively turn night into day giving them an unfair advantage over players who were playing 'by the rules'.  

I'd have to agree with Krusty on this one.  If everybody is flying at night and can equally as well or as poorly as I am night would be cool.  Until then.. not so much.

I think they should bring night back into the game, even if only for a short time in game.  Night in the off-line is alot diffrent then the night you see on Christmas Eve, you can see just about as good as you can see during the day, just the sky is blackish gray.

You can see the armor plate better in the other screenshots. I think that's all it is. In the C/D screenshots you can clearly see it's not mirrored because there's art on only one side.

While I agree night sux...upping the gamma to compensate for it is something HT intented. Hardly, gaming the game. :)

HT didn't intend gamma to make "night" as clearly visible as "day"..


It's gaming the game to the extreme.

It's up there with the folks that use scriped faster-than-normal weapon switches and instant fire scripts on AWPs in CS (at least, back when I cared about CS). Never intended.

Ask him. It's what he told me to do when I first started playing.

My biggest gripe about night was when it was night in AH, but daytime in my area.  I had so much glare off my screen from light coming in through the living room, kitchen, and dining room windows I couldn't see a bleeping thing!

I did figure out how to adjust gamma to compensate.  It did allow me to have an advantage over those who didn't or couldn't adjust theirs.

But adjusting it up and down every few hours was a drag.

I do sorely miss the other weather effects we had.  I remeber rain and lightning, and wind.  I would truly love to see that again, although I can understand why HTC doesn't think it would be fair to some of the less experienced players.
