The problem is timezones. I might be playing with somebody from Hawaii. That means it might be dark and pouring where I live and it still might be daytime in Hawaii. If everybody sees something different, then it can't have an effect on gameplay.
I guess snow/rain could be independent of the real world. But then I think there are issues with changing the time of day. Whoever works on the lightmaps would have to tell us if it is possible.
CAN YOU READ?!?!?!?!?!??!
Ok I think you guys are missing what I was going for here with the Time of Day feature. What Im suggesting is a random time generator for each match. Not at all based on what time it really is outside.. For instance:
Say its a 2v2 Slayer match:
Red Team:
Player 1: xXx iTz Da 4Shot Kyng xXx - Location: USA
Player 2: AussieGamerBall3r - Location: Australia
(2 completely different time zones, days.. etc)
Blue Team:
Player 1: TsingTao'nRice - Location: Japan
Player 2: BResmuymal - Location: Mexico
(Again 2 different time zones..)
So with all 4 players we could have 4 different time zones. This has NOTHING to do with what "time" the match will start on.
The pregame lobby:
Team Doubles
GT: Slayer
Map: BG Remake (see what I did there?) :D
Time of Day: 7:30 PM (This is randomly generated and could be a completely different time next time you play the map)
So.. the time of day (IN THE MATCH - IN THE GAME - IN THE FAKE REALITY - NOT IN REAL LIFE) is 7:30.. So, that means the sun would be setting and over the course of the 15 min game it would eventually get dark the longer the match lasts.
Hopefully this makes sense, and Im sorry to the guys who understood it from the start, but for some reason people just couldnt understand it. So I had to break it down for them and hold their hands like a child.
Capiche?
