I am impressed with the improved atmosphere now the whole game is 'darker'. Before now I never really saw the point in flashlights, now I find myself using one when i gets dark. I have turned up my brightness to full and still I cannot see very much at all at night. A simple yet effective way to improve the world.

This paves the way for possible new content which adds extra visual modes. You just have to look at the Power Armours to see all have some kind of visor or shielded eye piece.

I do like the way that the lighting effects from back in NC2 beta are back. The textures don't look as cleana nd shiney as before.

I would use flashlight if they actually made it better serverside, it's not like you are lighting up an area of your choice, if you aim straight forward the light will probably just hit the ground, or has this been fixed?

Yeah the Flashlights dont affect Wasteland Textures, a big problem imo, if they did they would be used a lot more, and omg what is up with the "limbo" animation you have to do just to point your flashlight forward in 3rd person?
I didnt know your arms go stiff when you hold a flashlight :P

I know it's real strange, like the tourch contains water and is trying to divinate the whole time ;) Not a major problem for me though.

The problem is on mine too in the wastes, hopefully it can be resolved soon.

I've also found in 1st person that stealthing helps visibility slightly from the shimmer.
