Night battles would be an amazing addition to Enlisted! Imagine creeping through the dark, using muzzle flashes to locate enemies, and relying on flares or tracers to illuminate the battlefield. Here’s how it could work:
Flares & Signal Rockets – Players or artillery could launch flares to light up the battlefield temporarily.
Flashlights & Torches – Attachable to rifles or used by engineers to light up small areas (at the risk of revealing positions).
Tracer Rounds – More visible at night, making firefights look cinematic.
Limited Visibility – Shadows, fog, and low-light conditions force players to move carefully.
Stealth Mechanics – Sound and movement matter more, rewarding slower, tactical gameplay.
Best Campaigns for Night Battles
D-Day (Normandy) – Some troops landed before sunrise. Imagine infiltrating German positions under the cover of darkness.
Battle of Stalingrad – Night battles in ruined factories, with flashlights and flare guns.
Battle of the Bulge – Snowy forests at night, with gunfire lighting up the trees.
Pacific Battles (Guadalcanal or Iwo Jima) – Jungle warfare with torches and sudden ambushes.
Berlin (1945) – Urban combat with searchlights and burning buildings providing eerie lighting.

Although night battles can make enlisted more diverse. However, I can guarantee a lot of players will choose to quit the game after they matching into the night map because the harsh enviroment of night combat.

nah, i’d wage bets because of bots visibility.
aka shooting through bushes in the middle of night 
beside, players will find work arounds through Gamma options.
making it unenjoyable for those who don’t.
night maps are one of those things that it’s cool as a concept, until it gets played and all the cracks shows up.

I get what you mean—bots with laser vision and players cranking up their gamma could be issues. But those things can be balanced. Devs could tweak AI visibility at night to make them act more human-like, and adding a proper brightness cap would stop gamma abuse. If done right, night battles could add a whole new layer of strategy instead of just being a gimmick.

Yeah night battles might be challenging, but that’s part of what would make them exciting and immersive. A solution could be making night maps an optional game mode or giving players the ability to vote for them, so those who enjoy the experience can play while others can avoid it. Plus, flares, flashlights, and tracer fire could balance out visibility, making it more tactical instead of frustrating.
if it something like during halloween event i kinda like it, tried a mod on night mode and it does feel amazing imo

ughhhh…
in 4 years, AI somehow got dumber.
i get people didn’t liked 360 no scope bots.
but since that " issue ".
they have just became headless chickens going for a point in a single file line.
i’ll give them this much though;
AI are now able to build rallies, ammo boxes and place medkits.
but as far as improvements goes, something tells me that it’s going to be " it ".

You can raise brightness using desktop filter, also Nvidia nowadays let them available on the card menu too

so you’re telling me that someone is going to be super meta and decide to brighten their gamma so high that they turn night into day? i mean i get that but it seem a bit too excessive to me tbh
and way too petty imo

Yeah they have lol 
but it would mean not as many bot’s are killed due to being dumb and the fights would be more interesting with all the tracers and maybe search lights to all over the city maps it would be nice to try
Yeah they could restrict it so people cant abuse the gamma maybe

well i get making it a lot less dark but to turn night into day? that just insane tbh
also halloween event is pretty good for showing what night battle could look like in enlisted
True but I wonder could the remove the in game gamma setting or restrict it so that it cant be abused like that
You don’t understand, you can’t restrict people abusing of their video card or monitor gamma filter, you can just work on the game slider one

That’s fair enough either way id still like to try that kind of a mode
You can try in other videogame like HLL or the old Rising storm 2, but you would find why people hate night battle… Getting shoot by someone meanwhile you are in the pitch dark isn’t fun
