Didnt the Frostbite blizzard get toned down in the hotfix to 3.1? 

I played a game on Frostbite a couple of days ago, and I noticed I was thankfully able to see throughout a snowstorm.

the WHOLE idea of frostbite is to fight blind. A wide, open, gently rolling plain with near zero viz due to blizzards,  making you shoot via radar (roughly aim at the center of the target recticule), and pray. Close range fights with mechs appearing and dissapearing suddenly. Its awesome!

Light, fast mechs with close range weaponry (Pumas, Scats, Osiris, owens) can really rip bigger mechs a new one. Then get pummeled by someone narcing them :D

I actually like the maps, my buddy was mad at several of the maps and I said "I love them because they have variety!"

:)

I prefer the variety over any minor flaw in the maps.

I hate Aircraft in this game, if I die from one, I leave.  I wish I could just fire back at them from a Mech.

Was even better before half the comunnity bitched about the night blizzard. That provided me some of the most memorable fights in a videogame.

New idea- would I be able to use an external hard drive to add RAM and/or improve gigahertz?

1) That was a bug, corrected by reconnecting to the server
2) It was ridiculous, blocked most vision, and only affected some, making it completely bad.

1) That was a bug, that should have been a feature
2) It wasnt ridiculous, it changed tactics instantly, it blocked vision in a way that made close up fighting spectacular to take part in, and all weather effects can be blocked without the devs restricting the console. It was completely awesome.

I agree it changed tactics.  It caused me to snipe and LRM boat if I didn't feel like reconnecting to fix it.  I usually brawl, but it made that a nightmare IMO.  Brawling without situational awareness is a bit too reckless (Read: tactically unsound) for me.

I hope the 'toning down' of maps ends soon, they're starting to loose their variety and are becoming 8 or so maps with different color schemes.

The vision-blocking snowstorm was ridiculous. You couldn't see where you were going in the least, which forced you to leave your radar on at all times, and thus you were an easy target for all the missile boaters. It made for terrible gameplay, and I'm glad they fixed it.

Not seeing where the enemy is, is one thing. Not seeing where you are running is a completely other thing. I was in a fight with a light mech and we circled each other. Then i crashed into a building or maybe a wall of rock. I cant tell because i tried 30 seconds to free myself from it before i died. I was standing right in front of it and still could not see what it was.

Decreased vision on this map IS cool but you should at least be able to see whats 5 meters in front of you so you can navigate properly
