I wish it was actually raining on the sec tow map, I mean, it is in the outro but not ingame.

Thanks for the responses so far, some nice ideas are among them.

I wouldn’t care about the procedure itself, if it depends on daytime or would switch from game to game. I just want more weather, it would add much to the mood. Changing weather effects would also make playing hours long more enjoyable.

More rain is needed, indeed. How about rain + storm effects + thunder sounds on CCity for example? Or you could tweak existing maps in a different way, for example create a hole in the window on the second stage of terminal while there is a storm going on outside and rain is being blown into the safe room etc. etc. The possibilities are endless, yet it should be possible to implement in a short time.

Since the weather would better not affect the gameplay itself, it could be completely client sided and therefore there should be no additional lag :confused:

agreed, having an out door level that was Raining or stormy seas WOULD be kind of fun.

I think there will be more ‘moody’ and ‘atmospheric’ environments in the future.

At the moment, Brink levels have that…Mirror’s Edge to it, ish…

Rain doesn’t fall often over big oceans.

What about Random Squalls and hurricanes? Those happen. Not all of the time, but it’s still possible. Plus this is a video game, they could make it rain Nachos if they wanted.
