We are still working on it, when the game is done, it shouldn't be noticeable, if we have to, I think we'll lower the quality of some graphics during weather to compensate the weather effect. We are not EA, we will try our best to make the best, and bfme2 was in production for,,, 6 months?

I got the ball rolling, made the first muti cycle with lightning effects, but the coding was a complete mess, as I was simply trying to create a fun new feature,,, thats where we got Andrej to come in and make it shine in the sun with bran new coding.
