Yes, they are all custom maps made by yours truly, I get the insight for players on this as well, so they can have something to call "theirs". So yes, it is entirely on new maps every 3 months.

Edit:
Another map that has it (and show cases it much more) is the map Bialystok Market. There you can really see what a night map can look like if done well, sadly I need to balance it out some more and things, and right now with SMC it is on the back burner. Either way thanks for the kind words.

That too bad, fightting in blizzard atmosphere is so cool.

There is no real reason. Mostly aesthetics. Night maps and the ability to make them have existed since vcoh.

Most players find any clash of atmosphere "too distracting" so mostly they don't get added.

You also have issues with a lot of textures require AO and Normal Mapping generated from having a strong light source, which a night map still has its just a different color, so when done wrong they look unnatural.

However we recently made on last Seasonal Map Cup (myself and talisman) called Ladoga Karelia.

May be more for the next season, depending on what the players want.

However as far as night maps that were in rotation for coh 2. The ported map sturzdorf and montagris region were both night maps.

Relic probably intended to develop night fighting and that is way they have OKW weapon with Infrared, but then they saw what happened with blizzard and changed their minds.
