To sum up- the night is not a problem for the soldiers, as it is for the player, and the eyes are quickly tired from that strain.

The problem of IR/Night Vision is being worked on, but who knows how long it'll take.  As to player-controlled lighting, i don't expect to see it happen.  The ancient Quake engine requires that all lights be placed/calculated before the mission begins.  There is a TODO for allowing flares to be launched, but i'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for it.

I seem to remember some kind  of flare for one of the classes in quake 2 team fortress.

Darkpriest667:
i always used incendiary autocannon rounds to light huge fires in the fields in xcom.. who needs flares lol.. Is that tactic effective here with the rocket launcher?

BAM:
No. The fire is part of the explosion; disappears with it.
