LT maps and darkness around bases

I dont know if anyone else has this issue BUT all the lt maps i cannot see anything near the flag stands
all the maps are too dark, like on sb, middle is bright as usual but as i get near the base its all black
i cant actually see the base till im upon it
just played rd and simoom also and same deal, cant see base nor ld until im almost past em because its so dark.
cant raise the brightness otherways other parts of the maps will be too bright. why did they change it from the regular maps anyway =[

Everyone is like that and it kinda sucks.

Weird, never noticed such a thing And I've played my share of 5v5. ss, semirhage?

Theres 2 shots of sb base
one from ground one from dj above coming toward..
you can see all the hills look black and the base too no contrast between either of em yet you can see how bright other places are so i cant just up my gamma

That's normal for LT, he decided to change the fog.

LOL

Thats how LT was made .....

i agree with sem here, the change has me kinda wierded out, esp. on RD and SB...it is like how i imagined no fog to look, except that i can't see everything.

Yes sem, that's how it was designed. I dont know, its never really bothered me I'll ask zombee about it though, see if he's going to include that in the next map release.

haha, you's don't like alittle change? If a LT map is on, sit in obs. Problem solved

honestly though...why change with the fog/visible distance settings?

I mean, i love LT but chasing sucks when cappers just dissapear. It makes it more difficult, but in a frustrating way rather than a challenging way.

i love people who feel the need to flame.
alls im saying is why change a playable enjoyable map to a frustrating eyesore map. i just wanted to see if other people dislike it, and if maybe we can get it changed back to the original maps with the LT rules and setup

This is very valuable input. Let's see how other feel about the visibility issue, as we're getting close here to the new pack's release.

I personally find it annoying, it just adds a level of frustration into the game thx.

and George, shh bro.

^^ who are you? pm me sometime ;D

yea i found it kinda odd with those dark spots i thought my vid card was messed up when i first played one of those LT maps

-Bleh-

In all honesty, I find the new fog helps add to the fun. Because you can't see the person coming from a mile away so it takes quick reflexes and thinking. For a capper it makes him know the routes better and to make quick adjustments to any Defense that is there. It also makes team work more useful. A capper needs a clearer instead of the old cowboy style, and Defense needs to be positioned correctly to have all areas covered. If you play LT enough you don't even notice how different the fog is.

I think it would be neat if we nerfed the gren launcher, and put an elf gun it it's place, hehe...

Just a playful suggestion on modifying the gameplay, but I do understand that with the gren launcher, it allows for a more open game, making clearing much easier for cappers, and grabs.
