In Response To: Re: Why do people like fog? (C Lund)

: If done right, fog adds atmosphere to a level. This usually means a light
: haze that's barely noticable. I've seen badly applied fog in AO - mostly a
: thick pea-soup with garish, ugly colours, often in places where it doesn't
: belong. The trick is to use the right amount in the right places.

Also, if you have a big map, and you don't want people to notice how bad it looks or you don't want them to see a switch, an important part of the map, etc., you put a thick layer of fog so they don't notice :-P... really, PS1 games like Silent Hill used that trick, because PS1 can't handle long distances with complex polys structures they put fog, so the game could generate the polys while you were running on the level and you don't notice.

And you can create a nice creepy dark atmosfera with black fog
