I really love 2V8 and i hope it stays permanent, but im scared they never get back the lights out. Could they do a 2V8 lights out ? Lights out was very fun too.

I want a 2v8 lights out on a big raccon city labyrinth map!!

    Lights out was a complete failure and I hope they never bring it back. IIRC Cote said in an interview that barely anyone queued up for that modifier after the first few days.

    What? Why is that? It was amazing and the first time were it looked more like an horror game and less pvp competitive.

    Sad to read that, i loved lights out

    I may be in the small group of people who really enjoyed Lights Out on both roles. I do have to say, I don't think it would work the same in 2v8.

    2v8 is very chaotic and the charm of it is that chaos. Adding the blanket darkness, TR removal etc would probably just make it more annoying than chaotic. I do think Lights Out would work on it's own with the right tweaks, but should be seperate from 2v8.

    I absolutely loved Lights Out as both Killer and Survivor, and think it could work with some tweaks.

    Lights Out 2.0 would be retweaked to be more balanced for both sides or at least feel way less frustrating for Survivors. More maps. More info for Killers to reduce feeling you have to tunnel and slug - perhaps basekit Deerstalker or Spies From the Shadows. More tools for Survivors with different effects, maybe a flashlight that highlights gens. Maybe a UV lamp that reveals vaults and Pallets for a bit like WoO, but highlights you for a sec using it. Some new interaction that fits the darkness, but isn't overbearing and is FUN for Survs while also not unfair for Killers who are supposed to be OP in that mode. Because some Killers can't do anything due to no info in that mode, and that's kinda unfair.

    I think it still has potential, it was just super flawed. I don't see any reason the Devs should not tweak it and give it another chance, it may be a minority of us who loved it but I loved it both sides and do want to see it come back in some form.
