Wondering why no flashlight...

Games Other Halo
1

Actually been wondering since the midnight release, i just have not got around to asking, and just read mostly.The first 5 minutes when i was getting familiar with the controls i could not find the flashlight button, then i realized … wheres the flashlight.This is a serious question by the way.

Sure it was almost useless but why not? They could have just attached it to say, down on the D-pad.With it they could have darkened a few places in the campaign to give it a eerie atmosphere and with a flashlight to lighten your narrow path …Then BAM! something would jump out in front of you.Would of been a good QTE on your first play through, that’s what QTE’s should be for mostly i think.Surprises are known to leave impression’s, great one’s last.

I hope it gets brought back in halo 5.Its wishful thinking i know… but hey, why not right?

Sometimes small things create big memories.

I too miss the flashlight. Don’t know why they removed it, I actually thought it was quite useful. The little corridors on The Maw and fighting flood on High Charity come to mind as perfect examples of when that thing came in handy.

i did do that, and wondered why, but its a bit odd to have all these futuristic armour abilitys like promethean vision, and then to add a flashlight, either that or they had another reason.
