PLEASE make it so gamma and brightness settings can only be set at the start of a game and never during! Changing your brightness and gamma settings during game play to see better at night, to me is no different than hacking to gain an unfair advantage.
If a player can just change settings to see better at night, well you might as well just get rid of the night vision goggles, they are not needed. Just one thing less to worry about while developing the game.
A few players I've talked to would prefer not adjusting gamma and brightness but feel forced to as other players will do it and have an unfair advantage.
While were at it why not just add a color, saturation and hue option that way we can adjust it so players will look orange against a grey background.
I really enjoy how immersive DayZ is to play. I like the fact that gear is going to be really searched for and that zeds will be tougher in the future. This all means nothing when you allow such an easy way to cheat like adjusting gamma and brightness. Not to mention that it takes away from the whole DayZ experience.
