Battlefield 3's Ridiculous Tactical Flashlight To Be Patch

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).

    Yeah Burpkidz. In real life, tactical flashlights are suppose to be blinding to disorientate an enemy. Though, I can see how this would get frustrating and feel pretty cheap in a video game. Then again, maybe people just need to quit whining about bright lights.

    I'm no expert in this field (and I haven't played war games in years), but I guess these tactical flashlights should be freaking strong, no?

    THANK YOU Dice! It's annoying having to play against that flashlight. No matter how hard I try, I always lose a close quarters firefight with someone who has it equipped. I hate it almost as much as I hated the akimbo shotguns in MW2.
