A question from Mozirry in The Barracks: "What is the LOD of this new grass? Is it going to be only viewable over a certain amount of km, and then disappear at a certain range viewing everything that "believes" it is hidign under the grass. Case and point: Battlefield Vietnam. You can hide under grass all aroundyou, but from 300m out, you can see the victm lying in the ground with no grass drawn around at all" GOPHUR: Oh man if we could draw it out to a km I'd be one happy guy. Guess though it depends on what type of grass you are talking about. There are three types. First is the "clutter". This type draws for a very long distance. It includes bushes as well as high grass fields. this is the same for everyone and is considered concealment. The second types is similar to the first but it is hand placed grass fields. Also considered concealment. The third is "radial grass" and it is based at your feet and has variable density and draw distance. This grass is not the same for everyone. It is there as immersion and not concealment.For this third type you can reduce it but not turn it off the way you can now. However it does not hide you and it does not obstruct your prone view. We've moved the prone eyepoint up a bit to compensate and all players will see it while prone. You will never get the impression that it is hiding you from anyone. It will not suck like BV. |
