Wait, what? They changed it?!
No we didn't. Absolutely nothing has changed on this map since we put night on it.
Player are more visible due to the tweaks to the player visibility in patch a few months back, but the lighting of the level is untouched.
why is it this game that people want everyone to be glowing, there were never any problems with the other games
Well, that's depends on which one you refer to. The player rim light that we added is something we had in some of the previous BFs.https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/bk76q0/battlefield_4_had_the_exact_same_soldier_glow/
Also, I would like to remind people that the meme back in the BF1 days was that you couldn't see people on those night maps, but instead everyone just spammed spotting and shot doritos.
I leave it to everyone to judge what's more immersive or good looking (doritos or a slight rim light). Gameplay wise, I personally prefer the absence of spotting, but that's just me.
Don't get me wrong, I love night maps and I hope we can explore more of that going forward, but every BF released so far has shown us that night maps are only popular for a very short time. The BF1 night maps (which are part of the base game now) were the least voted for maps in the BF1 map voting system. Far behind unpopular maps like Giant and such. They literally took the last two spots of all maps available.

Thats sad.
I think that you could do more night versions of existing or newer maps and put them to Grand Operations as you did with with Panzerstorm. Personally I think it helps immerse into the game when you feel like this is actually next day instead of lets put you on another map that we have here. Like another user wrote - it would be nice to have different time of day for existing maps
For sure. I think going forward that could be one way of doing it.
I want to be clear so this doesn't get misunderstood. The lesson learned here is not "no one plays night maps" but instead "every map needs to have daytime setting, but also can have a night setting". :)
Aah, this! Was one of my favorite maps to work on! Great people, cool setting and getting to do stuff like the flares was super fun!
Would have done it a bit differently now (mostly in the CQ layout), but still pretty happy with it. :)
