n33njah Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I've played about 3 hours of online and a good bit of the single player and I absolutely find the lighting system annoying. I don't mind flashlights and laser sights blinding as long as it's not a tactical flashlight blinding me as someone's literally at the opposite end of a long corrider where I'm prone waiting for them to come and they pop out and it literally blinds you to a point that it's entire obscured. I understand this is the idea of a tactical flashlight is that it's a supression and vision obscuring device but I feel like the effects are pushed to the extreme. Singleplayer has it's moments where it's obnoxious about the lights but just curious if anyone else feels this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M49907 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Yea it can definatly get anoying. I understand that it adds some realism in some cases but at the same time it does bother me. For example if you have to aim at a guy in a window and the sun is above the building, you become blinded by it. It is realistic sure, but why dosnt my soldier just wear sun glasses?

Singleplayer has it's moments where it's obnoxious about the lights but just curious if anyone else feels this way. And this is exactly why the tactical flashlight exists. Do you know how annoying it is when you have players like you who just sit and wait with their gun aimed at a single spot waiting to take someone out who wanders into their line of sight. At least now I have a chance when ever I go into a room or a corridor or somewhere that is bound to have someone camped in the corner waiting.

namepending Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I felt that the flashlight was great in the Beta, When somebody used it you had a 50/50 chance of getting them, or them getting you, and It honestly looked realistic, didn't act realistic but it did look good. Now in the real game if someone is about 20 feet from me i get this fucking glowing sunburst take up my entire fucking screen like I just opened my eyes for the first time in a fully lighted room. Seriously why did they change them, did enough people bitch in the beta that they were useless? I hate that people use that damn flashlight because I can't even do anything.

Unterofficer Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 It is realistic sure, but why dosnt my soldier just wear sun glasses? Because for the glasses to protect you from the light you should have so dark sunglasses, that you wouldn't see anything without those lights.

chach7171 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Tac lights should have a maximum "blinding" effectiveness of about 10 yards max. As it is it's ridiculous having them useful during the day, what are they 1,000,000 candle power bulbs??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been blinded at ridiculous distances outside on Operation Firestorm. Like it's not nice and sunny out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneKane87 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Only major! issue i have with it, is teammates blinding you with it and then being killed by an enemy. Lets not forget the laser light also. I just wish they had made it to were the light/laser doesn't blind your own team but instead you only see the light on the gun itself.

MeonOner Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 My favorite is when your in plain day light and you still get blinded by enemies using the flashlight attachment, like really is DAY TIME, flashlights dont work in the day time. Its not possible to shine a flashlight in the day, cause the sun will mute it out in real life. The laser is a litter more understandable in the day light, but not the flashlight. & agreed with the post above ^^^^ / its happened to me many times. ;____; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upindat Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I agree. Very hard to see the enemy sometimes. I had to turn the brightness up all the way. And WHAT IS THE FUCKING deal with all the dusty looking orbs on some of the cut scenes. I mean fuck, doesnt someone dust in that bitch or what??

n33njah Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'm Glad I'm not the Only one. And optimus I'm sorry that you feel that me covering a flag capture in conquest by pruning one lane is camping and that you need the tac light. I am anti camp but I will cover a lane when my squads seizing an objective. but my problem isn't with the attachment or it's use it's how ridiculous the distance is effective too. So yeah enjoy using it I'm still gonna do my best to control the objective even when blinded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CovertDog Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I love them. I don't use them, but I love it when I'm plowing through in my tank and I get hit by the flashlight or IR. They don't survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Forster Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Not sure about the flashlight,not played for long enough online foe an oppinion,but some of the maps are so bright that you can't see the crosshair when firing the AA guns into the sky,should be able to change the colour of it from yellow to black.
