Wake Evenings

seen to be believed, just look at this list of features.[quote]Let's see what we got in this map : - Battle during a dark late evening. - Increased view distance by 300% (some map tweaking should help you keep a good performance level. If you need to, you can always lower the Details and View distance from BF's option menu.) - Reorganised reinforcements. (more stuff and placed differently. Some of them have been modified for a little fantasy and fun..) - Some vehicles have a longer life if left alone. - Darker suits makes it easier to hide. - Some modified textures. - It's late, so the water level has lowered!

In my humble opinion, everyone should play this map at least once.
