  • Battlefield 3 Eye Scorching Flashlight To Be Patched

    Sometimes I come across news that might seem irrelevant at the time and then realize that many here might find it useful to them. So today I report the following that will please those playing Battlefield 3 and who are annoyed by the scorching "sunlight" glare emitted by the tactical flashlight weapon. A patch that will be released to reduce this annoyance. Read below...


    To Quote:
    DICE applied some... let's call it UNUSUAL logic to the tactical flashlight weapon attachment in its just-released Battlefield 3. That logic being: generally speaking, flashlights should be bright enough to scorch the average human retina. You know what I'm talking about if you've played BF3's multiplayer; it's ridiculous.
    The good news is, DICE hears you. The team may not have a full grasp of light wave physics, but they're willing to learn. Battlefield 3 will be patched and the over-effectiveness of the tac flashlights will be cut down. That's what core gameplay designer Alan Kertz said during the Don't Revive Me Bro podcast (via PC Gamer); he later followed up his promise with a tweeted image revealing what the patched lens flare effect will look like (above).
    This article was going to be published last night but I suppose tough luck when while I was writing it, psx-scene went down for maintenance. So NO flaming!

      I hope they'll fix the ****ed up tdm spawns too.. I could make a 10 minute video of me getting killed by people spawning right behind,under me or me spawning right in front of them...seriously... should I go for it?

      EDIT: but I think the lasersight isnt that bad/unrealistic, have you ever had a laserpointer pointing at your eyes?

      yeah but the laser is a 1-2 mm dot and its hard to aim it in someones eye while fireing a weapon

      Same with the tactical flashlight really.
      I work with a lot of law enforcement and have been blasted with "tactical" flashlights several times.
      Even in broad daylight from 60 feet away (my last experience with this was from about that distance), a good tactical light can pretty much blind you for a while.

      I am glad to see they are calming the brightness down though.
      It may be realistic, but it really shouldn't be that bright in a video game.

      nice to see flash light being sorted out, bf2 plays perfect bf3 feels like a rush job some good points but some bad points that should of been sorted before release everyone was kicking off on bf3 site over beta the comments got wiped on the site. To the fatcats put down your champange and put quailty before money you people make me sick £40 squid on a game worth £20 pure let down now carry on yatching you greedy f**ks

      May I quote this for people whining about flashlights?
