Visually it’s pretty cool right? Damn there’s the tornado I’mma stop and look at it quick.
That’s it. There’s nothing else it provides. I’ve never seen it alter gameplay.
Why did they spend all that time into developing it? They fought with it until release.
why didn’t they just throw it out?
It’s not even in Exposure and that’s the best base game map in the game.
Theres literally no other dynamic weather! Wait apart from a sandstorm on hourglass. But that's it
I think its dumb at this point and all I do is avoid it

And they wonder how they screwed up so monumentally...because you wasted 3 years of work from multiple teams on a minor element of the game that only happens in some maps, sometimes, and isn't even that freakin impressive from the user end. I'm sure on the technical/backend side there's all kind of impressive wizardry going on or something but like...we can't see any of that. So instead, we just see DICE bragging about wasting 3 years on what is a fairly forgettable "feature" in a game that could have better used all that time and effort on the rest of the game.
Seriously, the decision making within DICE continues to be extremely questionable and I'm wondering if studio/game leads just spend all day day-drinking and making decisions using a Jump to Conclusions(TM) mat.
It needs more deadly debris.... and cows!

@mrtwotimesYo, if it actually threw objects around that were a hazard that'd be dope. But I somehow doubt that's technically possible with the game already stretching the engine and hardware (seemingly both user and server side) quite a bit.
One of the developers talked about the tornado throwing shipping containers around and it landing on a sniper. Obviously that feature got cut and never made it into the retail release. Probably due to performance reasons as you said.

Hahaha that would be quite a novel way to cull the sniper population.👍
