Much agreed Biaslemon! i also agree with everyone on this topic, the NVG's are spiraling out of control, the good old days when you spawned with a makarov and flares were awsome! going around in the dark with your buddies 10feet away and not being able to see them was truly great gameplay and make an awsome night of gaming over teamspeak/skype. Nowadays NVG's are common as whiskey bottles and every group or lone survior seems to have a pair, making the night cycle loose its atmosphere and sence of danger. Many a time have i been sniped/shot at playing with buddies even though we're staying low, keeping the lights off and maintaining noise disipline, in total darkness! I remember seeing a light source in the distance or a lit flare in cherno/electro and instantly the hairs on the back of my neck would stand up and me and the group knew sh#t was going down ^^ I think that the removal of NVG's altogether from the loot list would be a great idea or make some form of power source for them to run off, much like the laser designator takes a battery in the ARMA II game and make this an incredibily low % spawn. And much like Scavenger said '' And let's be honest...how many NVGs would a fictitious Post-Soviet Micronation have in it's miniature army's arsenal? really? :/ '' EXACTLY! the amount of high grade military hardware is insane! I like the idea of the crashed helis being 'special forces' that have crashed and that makes sence for high-end gear to spawn there.
