Battlefield 3 Patch Will Address Those Pesky Tactical Lights

According to this article from PC Gamer, DICE’s Alan Kertz announced that they’ll be toning down the effects of the tactical flashlights in an upcoming patch for Battlefield 3. The tactical lights will still be blinding, but they will no longer be able “to blind a man at ten metres in broad daylight.” He posted some comparison images that you may view below.

Naturally, the Tactical Flashlight isn’t the only thing that’s on DICE’s to do list.

Kertz also says that DICE are also considering changes to the effectiveness of mobile AA guns. Their damage output is less of a problem than the projectiles’ effects on jet and chopper trajectories. It’s thought that the storm of anti-air ordinance can too easily throw airborne vehicles off course. In addition, DICE are aware that the inability to repair jets puts them at a distinct disadvantage over other vehicles. Choppers can land and be repaired by engies from within, but landing a jet is a far harder task. Short of strapping engineers to the wings of each jet, it’s hard to see how DICE will get around this without giving planes a limited self-repair ability.

Those lights were really getting on my nerves. I can’t wait for them to be toned down a notch.
