What about the blinding flashlights?

Those have got to be the most annoying thing in the game. Not because the enemy uses them to blind you - that's fair enough - but because I'm constantly getting blinded by idiot team mates who run around with the light perma-on and then I get shot because I can't see enemies appear, or their lights have given away your position.

New rule. TK all teammates that are blinding you with flashlights. That should sort them out real quick. :p

My brother won't be happy with the UMP-45 changes. :D

I don't mind it in the darkness but yeah in the bright of day light it still blinds you and its so stupid.
 
Something that I hope'd they would fix is the difficulty of determining whether or not flashlight is on or off when outside. Some outside areas it works okay, but others, when I'm in a shaded area, crouching, staring directly at the ground, I can't see the difference between an on and off flashlight.

actually i must admit imt he flashlight whore, i wont lie, tho i actually turn it off when im around teamies, i turn it on around corners also in CQC situation else youre a moving target :D
 
Wait, the flashlight still works outside in the daylight?

That is stupid. :/

Other than that, I think it's awesome. It's just one of things people have to learn to use. ie. not blinding your teammates.

I also didn't play the beta but as I understand you can turn off the flashlight so it shouldn't really be a problem, hopefully after some time people will use it more effectively by turning it off and on.
 
I must admit - I didn't know you could turn the flashlight off. Must've missed that somewhere, at least I didn't use it that much anyway.
