Does anyone else think that the flashlights on guns is stupid?
I tend too notice them on snipers and the hydra and the Mantis (Not sure if they’re on any other gun)
I personally it looks stupid and kinda gives away the stealthyness of a sniper, a sniper is not meant to be seen (unless ur playing as an aggressive sniper)
But does anyone else find like the flashlight should not be on the guns?
No. It’s been a staple in Halo since Halo CE, and it’s one of the last few things that have actually proven the test of time as far as visuals. Plus they look scifi and cool.
I totally forgot that in Halo:CE you could switch your weapon torch on and off. It’s totally pointless and hilarious. When I played MCC I made sure I always played multiplayer games with my torch on to blind the enemy.
Also, ladders! LOL!
Shotty rocks the light.
Sniper is lens flare and only shows when your zoomed in and hydra is targeting laser that only shows when locking on so no

Lens flare when ur inside and no light coming in? that makes sense, plus a lens flare would still happen weather u were scoped in or not.
A lot of games do this on purpose, they balance the weapons appropriately.

How so, in every other game i’ve played there is no light on the sniper at most they will leave a tracer after been shot.

agreed
The Sniper rifle doesn’t have a flashlight, it has scope glint. The Hydra doesn’t have a flashlight, it has a laser sight. The Mantis doesn’t have a flashlight, and I can’t imagine what would look like one.
The ONLY guns that have flashlights are the shotguns…
Yeah, it sucks cause it kinda gives it away, but actually think it’s kinda cool. Kinda gives me more awareness when fighting.
This is done on purpose to balance the weapons, so you have a quick window to avoid sniper fire. It is like this in Battelfield 4.
I like that the Sniper now has a glint to it so that they’re easier to spot, but I don’t like how if you look at an enemy sniper through your scope you’ll be blinded.

Go play battlefield, I believe some COD have had scope glint, Gears of war had it. There are several other games as well that have it. I like it and its a good balancing mechanic for sniper rifles.
Putting a flashlight on the shotty was one of the smarter things. You know who has one and cant confuse it for an AR like you could in h3. This change is both smart and good.
