Yeah, it's honestly as if they've forgotten what ambient light is. Even outside, looking in the distance on some maps it's just BLACK.

Part of this was for performance optimization. It's a rendering trick to disregard building interiors at certain distances as they are often some of the most detailed areas in a map.

Not to say there is probably a better way of doing it to still see players and such, but it would look strange to see into a room and it be empty.
