Weather

[Xentoro]

Have you ever seen a tornado and thought wow, I wish I was in that situation. Well I was in one before and it was scary asf but it might be cool to someone playing while there's a tornado or hurricane effecting ground and teammates/enemies. Well I would like a feature like this implemented into 2.5 it would be very nice. But I'm here to discuss a weather idea.


I know this probably won't be put into the game, but I would love any kind of weather, like snow, rain, tornado's and hurricanes. So here's my idea for the tornado firstly. For a situation in 4v4 match. A tornado comes out of nowhere and ripping the ground apart and making trenches near the enemy base. How I would like this be made into a game is a trigger mechanic that starts a tornado or hurricane. And it would bring objects in its force too and launching blocks off. That's my idea for hurricanes and tornadoes. So now let's get on to a tsunami idea, you're on a water map with a ship on water. And while you use a button to drive the boat, and then all of a sudden a tsunami comes and is killing a lot of bystanders. The way you could escape this is probably only with a vehicle, but that's a topic for another day. Also the tsunami would also be a trigger mechanic as well. Finally, floods/rain which will also be trigger mechanics. So let's say you're making a machinima showing off 2.5 and you need an extra effect. You can add rain to that map with background and possibly music? Now flooding, lets say the map maker makes 5 rain mechanics now its flooding and you have to swim to a safe area. I actually don't know a lot about this so let me know about some feedback. Thanks.

I like this idea a lot, but besides wind and flooding, tornadoes and tsunamis might be hard to make and cause FPS drops. I'm not 100% sure though, I like the idea.

I dont think that things like "Tornadoes" are really need for a sidescroller shooter game.
