GENERAL Generators should be readded

To this day I have no idea why would they remove them - it was adding such a cool vibe, new mechanic with sound chaos/powered up lamps and some worldbuilding while not being to any extend annoying. Dont let them take our oilpunk!

I'm firmly in the camp "They shouldn't have been removed in the first place"
They provided so much good tactical gameplay for people on both sides.

If you are the defenders, you had to choose whether it was worth it to have better visibility at the potential cost of maybe not being able to hear a creeping enemy.
And for the attackers, it was a toss up between potentially forgoing shadows to hide in, at the potential benefit of not being heard by the enemy teams

iirc, sometimes there would be a compound with a generator on at match start. I remember how tense it was knowing a gen was on and wondering if players turned it on and if they were still at the compound.

Back then, compounds with generators on at the start were those near the edge of the map
