Toggle flashlight?

[SLACK3R]

after getting flashlight. russel said the flashlight automatically detects light and will activate itself etc. as cool as that is i would much rather toggle it myself like in the other half life games any options for that?

No more buttons? :P

[Ayscotty]

I would also like a toggle flashlight button

[Pegarex]

from what I have noticed, it turns on or off depending on which level you're in, and its not actually based on how dark the area around you is.
that being said, I totally could be wrong.

[Ayscotty]

its zone / area based. it has nothing to do with darkness of dynamic illumination. we need a toggle flashlight button and a sprint button.

agree i want to toggle the light whenever i want.

it told me to place it on my left hand, but honestly i would like to have it on my right hand !!

i cant seem to change it either but now it means in dark areas im forced to hold the hand gun with both hands to have light point in the direction my gun is pointing, but if i was able to place it on my right hand i would achieve the same result one handed.

I also agree that you should be able to use it whenever you want. And also with the comment about wishing it was on the right/gun hand.

Not being able to put it on my right hand is driving me nuts. It would be so much better that way. The devs act as if we all are shooting using two hands, and it seems at most are not. Having to grip the pistol or hold out my left hand as I shoot is annoying. Also, an on/off toggle would be cool.

Yea it would be nice if you could toggle a switch on the RUSSEL

i hold rifle with two hands, but the pistol i dont, and i wouldnt mind so much if being forced to hold the handgun with both hands actually 100% all the time resulted in the light shining in the correct direction. but it dont... instead im holding the pistol with two hands but my left hand is kinda tilted wrong anyway whilst doing that to get the light where i want it..

There's a switch on the back of the flashlight and yet we can't use said switch! D:

I suppose we should be thankful it's attached to our glove... *Cough*DOOM3*COUGH*

They can put Flashlight under the Gun.... And then give us a toggle button :)

Are you SERIOUSLY telling me that a pitch black hallway filled, absolutely FILLED TO THE BRIM with lockers is an area I don't need my flashlight?

Why on earth, after the debacle of "Duct Tape Flashlight" Doom 3, would the developers decide that in a game where SEARCHING FOR AMMO AND RESIN IS A HUGE PART OF THE GAME didn't need a flashlight toggle. Give me limited energy or something maybe, but while ammo and resin both glow they are VERY often hidden under random detritus, and lockers are FULL of random detritus.

Having a flashlight that just decides it will come on when it wants is like having a straw with a ball valve in it that won't give you liquid when it feels like you're probably not really all that thirsty.
