wow….maybe you guys need to go buy an actual tactical light and look at it during the day. It really does blind you and it fucking hurts. I had one for my rifle that could act as a flood light at night, and was capable of inflicting eye pain during the day. I’d rather stare at the sun than into one of those things.

So this update isn’t ‘fixing’ it except maybe in a gameplay sense, definitely not in a reality sense

Like Cubnation said.

Only NOOBS use the flashlight, ITS IS NOT OVERPOWERED WHAT SO EVER!

Everyone seems to miss the fact that if you use a flashlight, you can be spotted from MILES away. Plus is not even hard to hit someone using a flashlight, just center the light on your screen and start spraying.

This again shows how terrible the average gamer is these days!

Which makes them twice as annoying.

I’m so glad they’re fixing it.

Its beyond annoying and to be honest, I cannot BELIEVE it even made it through alpha / beta. How could they not see the issue then?

I agree it is annoying, but its a double-bladed sword. I don’t use flashlights myself, because it gives you away from a long distance. You see a light somewhere, you KNOW someone’s there even if you didn’t see him. Spam the “spot” key and he’ll pop up on the minimap and someone else kills him, even if you didn’t manage. You can switch it off, but its back on every time you spawn.

It looks like a good fix. In the second picture you can easily shoot the guy, as opposed to before. After that patch it won’t be an issue anymore.

The next thing they have to fix are the rocket launchers splash radius. They frag to the front, to break the tank armors, and not all around like grenades. It gets used way too much against infantry, and it makes as much sense/is as annoying as the flashlight, in my opinion.

Its an improvement but still really annoying, its probably one of the things that gets me killed the most online and requires no skill at all to use.
