Is Night Vision useful in any game?

[samonix]

I don't mean thermal vision, where every enemy glows in an easy-to-spot aura, I mean that strange filter that turns everything on a dark level from a shade of blue to a shade of green.

I've never encountered a game where this mode makes anything easier to see, and was wondering if there were any out there.

Splinter Cell?
Neotokyo.

Never used it in CoD4, except in single player but that doesn't count.

 

[Hobo Joe]

Splinter Cell as a whole for one. It was also very useful on CoD4 on maps such as Wet Work.

 

[MegaMannZero]

counter-strike works ok, except for the Zombie-Mod.

It helped me in Rainbow 6 Vegas1/2

ArmA 2 had useful NVGs, the one problem being that because they are meant to be uber-realistic, they are useless at dawn, dusk, and even nights that have a lot of stars or ambient moonlight...

stalker SOC also had very good (and necessary) night vision equipment. it was nigh impossible to avoid death in the or in underground areas without it.

Just turn your brightness up

What he said. You don't need night vision goggles.

TES IV Oblivion...makes everything SO MUCH easier. Trust me, it's 1000x better than a torch, plus it frees up a hand

on fire warior for spoting targets hiding behind steam

That's kind of cheating. It's really cheap.

If I'm sneaking down a shadowy path, being really invisible, I'll be pissed to be seen by some guy with a high brightness setting.

Night vision can be useful, but it sometimes makes it harder for me to see anything.

Some of the most useful night vision I remember was from Syphon Filter 2.

 

[AWC Viper]

ArmA 1 and 2, Operation Flashpoint 1 and 2 or any Milsim (thats a Military Simulator).


or Stalker (probably been ninja'd on that)

Escape From Butcher Bay.

No they don't. Cats can see well in the dark ;D

 

[mikecoulter]

It was good in Vegas Six: 2. Some super dark missions in that game.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

It was useful in MGS3 and MGS4, if only to turn enemies into big white glowing targets.
