I know their games are dtaed now for 1st person games. But the engine they used for Terminator, Skynet and Daggerfall does support rain. It doesn't look all that great, but it gets the point accross. I think, from how it looks, that it used something like what Slug suggested, in that the effect is generated around the player's perspective rather than out in the game world. That old XnGine they made was pretty slick at the time it was developed 3or 4 years ago, but by todays standards it lacks a lot. Stil, it does use variable atmospheric effects. They did most all of this in Daggerfall, not the Terminator games.
