BF3 too bright!

khare · 9 Nov 2011 at 17:18

Anyone else notice how bright the sky/sea is? I can't see a damn thing, I've tried turning the brightness down but that turns down the brightness of the land and weapons rather than the sun reflection.

yeah the sky is really bright. i was sat in the anti air gun the other day and in most parts of the sky i could not see my crosshair.

I think its meant to be realism , like its blinding so you need to think about where you are to get the best view without being blinded

Maybe, but I think they've taken it a step too far as the blinding is way to much.

Same deal we had with BF2 - point at the sky & you can't see the crosshair.....

the thing about emulating real life is that in this case its a computer game, designed for fragging other people, if you want ultra realism then either catch a flight to Afghanistan or watch bbc planet earth

id rather see what the fk im doing on a game and not also be blinded by flashlights 3miles away in the brightest sunniest day ever

choices for realism should not effect core gameplay

Agreed. The flashlights are plain annoying as is the ridiculous levels of sun glare.

Sun glare I can live with, the torches... Who sat in the there testing the game and said "yeah, these torches are an excellent addition to daylight warfare"?

A nice upgrade equipable would be sunglasses, which make everything a bit darker, better in the open and crippling indoors.

Fragg · 9 Nov 2011 at 23:48

i wish you could toggle solar flare and or extreme reflections as they can be a pain but really, i love them, they help in giving a sense that you are there on battlefield.

The one thing i really detest about battlefield is the modelling of the rocks, they look wild shiny as if they have been drenched in water, glitter added and then a million lights reflecting off them..lol

why dice do the white blinding thing ill never know mirrors edge bfbc2 bf3 all have it in.

Scougar · 10 Nov 2011 at 00:51

I like the idea of torches.. but sorry... those lights are just ridiculous when outdoors and blinding you.. they just don't get that bright light that (I should know I have a load of bloody bright bike LEDS).

El Jimben · 10 Nov 2011 at 02:02

I tried to rationlise the glare on the screen and I figured that if the soldiers were wearing goggles (not sure if they do short of going ingame again

) then that might be why but even so it's pretty excessive at times.

"andy" · 10 Nov 2011 at 02:17

i like the torches , people giving away them and their team mates positions with them and who cares about the blinding when you can just aim at the light and shoot

Random Guy · 10 Nov 2011 at 08:54

If they wanted to do realism, why the hell did they not give the soldiers sunglasses?

Would be quite funny deciding which button/key to bind that to

Because the light is aiming and shooting at you too. Hip fire from close range is laughably bad let alone when you have a 5 million watt lamp in your face (or ten meters away, while there half behind a rock or something)

Indoors and in the dark they should be a powerful tool, for sure
