What colour is the night vision in Island Thunder? Can anyone find me a screenshot of the NightVision?

Of course, if you're using Island thunder's night vision, you won't get the same effect as you used to on the hazy rainy maps. On those maps, you used to be able to see better with night vision, now it can actually make it worse.

I kinda miss the old night vision. There were a ton of people who didn't know how to abuse it. But it makes it more real, so I'm for the new.

I found that GR's NVG mode is the most unrealistic I've seen. The only thing in common with the real deal is that there is a green hue. Conflict Desert Storm had a better NVG.

I've driven boats with them on, I've even fired rifles with them on and it's nothing like what I've been seeing on GR.

In I.T. do the bad guys stand out like glow sticks? Was that something that was changed? That was an incredible oversight in the original game.

Yea, they stand out like glowsticks, it doesnt make any sense. Night maps like beach or bridges arent any fun because you can see people from far away with the NV. They're actually more like heat vision than night vision. All NVG do is amplify light, so if im laying down sniping next to a tree there should be no reason why someone should see me glowing.

you can see ur bullets whizzing by on its way towards ur target :cheers: i would say that the night vision in IT is more realistic and more clearer during the night. after all it takes place in 2009 and all the technology would be upgraded, which is why i think that the night vision is so clear during the night in IT.

In response to all the posts, one word: Playability.

Some nightvision also uses infrared technology. This is why the United States has designed new BDU's that absorb light/IR. People do actually stand out alot in NVG if they are wearing clothing that reflects alot of light/IR. Saw it on Mail Call.
