Flashlights

[Moriim 0]

First off, flashlights on belts is an awesome change.

However, I find that playing at night could be improved dramatically if the running animation was changed so that the player still holds the flashlight in front of him. After all, if I'm sprinting for my life and I have a flashlight, I'm going to hold it steady as best as I can on the terrain in front of me so I don't trip and die.

It would make moving around at night significantly easier and would allow me to actually play the game once my classes start again in August.

Instead of a new running animation I think a head light would be a much better tool added in. I do not think a new running animation could be done.

If you were jogging, you'd hold the flashlight fairly steady in front of you... but if you were sprinting, I think you'd be surprised just how much your arms would move while holding the flashlight. Especially if being chased by zombies.

Even if your crouch running the flashlight light is nowhere to be seen. I mean this dude is a train military guy and he can't even hold a flashlight :P

Really takes away from the feeling of survival when you can't see why moderately advancing.
