I honestly never found the lighting to be too bad, but this looks good.

A Brazilian player once very slowly told me "dont put your face in the window" and I haven't really felt the need to look through a dark or shiny hole since. Bullets or a brave teammate do a much better job of introducing yourself to a room.

I don't get this. They didn't release the Poland map because they were working on operation health. But the Poland map was meant to come out in May. So are they getting rid of the next map as well?

It's good to know they've been hard at work removing bloom and downgrading the skybox from a dynamic to static sky though.

The Hong-Kong map was supposed to be release in May but got pushed back to August. And Ubisoft forgot about Poland so they don't get a map.

Looks like Operation Health is finally working as intended, by forcing you to stop playing the game - in the hopes that you'll look after your real health by engaging in outdoor activities! :v:

Lighting bloom was awful. Made spotting enemies breaching a window near impossible, looking at the window would just blind me so I'd have to relocate to not end up dying. Really glad to see it's been fixed.

This.

Depending on the time of day it's usually a few minutes at most before people see someone looking to play before groups start forming.

The problem has generally been huge inconsistency, with some windows getting more obscured by bloom the closer you get to them and others when you move away from them, as well as various walls that allowed light to leak through as if there were giant holes in them.








Wanting it to work like camera exposure is a pretty neat idea that just wasn't executed well and led to all sorts of janky looking poo poo that actually interfered with gameplay, so I'm surprised it's taken them this long to tone poo poo down.

That's a garbage concept imo that a lot of game devs have latched on since the days of the first gpus when they figured out lens flares and crap. It should never look like a camera would work, it should attempt to emulate the human eye.

I think Splinter Cell actually did that for its multiplayer. When you moved from a bright area into a darker one, it would initially be very dark but gradually brighten as your eyes adjusted. From what I remember it was a bit gimmicky and superfluous since there were so many other ways to enhance your vision, but it was a nice attempt.

Okay I think I'm back to play again. After Steam recognizes the game files on my pc. At some point it just decided to consider the game uninstalled.

I've always liked all the lens effects because instead of emulating the human eye it emulates my glasses, and it's very realistic! :v: Just needs to fog up whenever I step outside on a hot map, or inside on a cold map.

normally I wouldn't even think about it but given how amazing the sound is in this game they would greater benefit from just making it look as good as possible compared to some of the other stuff I've played recently

Thermite and Thatcher are good utility attackers.

Rook, Doc, and Bandit make for good defenders. Decent guns, easy to use gadgets.

Make sure to do the situations and watch tutorial videos for free renown.

She doesn't have to be a model but she looked like a fuckin alien wearing an Edgar suit. Twitch looked fine before they changed her though IMO.

Special forces are well-known for carrying hot pink heart-stamped guns and clown masks into battle. I don't think uncovering their faces is much of an issue at this stage.

Not really a downgrade when the dynamic part isn't used and photo skies can be very high quality.

There are many other glitches and issues with the main gameplay they could instead spend time on. Or build us a Poland.

But naaaaa, let's add more gun skins for our new health drops, gently caress with the lighting yet again, and redesign valk one more time.

Honestly if they unfuck the lighting for realsies this time then Operation Health will be a complete success in my eyes. Valk's face not being camped out in the bottom of the uncanny valley will just be icing on the cake.
