Its pretty well known by now from all the advanced copies of D3 that you cannot use your gun and the flashlight at the same time. From reading others comments on gameplay and seeing a few videos, it seem that the thing to do is:
-Use flashlight to find monsters in dark areas
-Switch to weapon and shoot in the dark
What bothers me is that the concept of having a flashlight mounted on a weapon is as common as headlights on cars. Not to mention a ton of good FPSs use this concept(Halo, Farcry, HL...). I don't mind if id had the intention of making the game more challenging or scary but this move is just illogical. You don't make a racing game more challenging by having all night races with no head lights.
I haven't got my pre order of D3 yet so I haven't played this first hand but the concept itself and seeing the videos leaves me a bit disappointed. Perhaps this will be resolved in a simple mod for whiny bastard like me.
Whats your take?
