Considering the almost universal distaste for the too-dark quality of the
levels
in the game, and the desire by most people for a way to 'tape' the
flashlight to
a gun, I would hope id is flexible enough to be willing to make such
improvements
to the game, in an upcoming patch. At least make it possible to aim a pistol
without
having to totally guess where you're shooting at. There is no excuse
whatsoever
for not allowing you to aim both a flashlight and a pistol at the same time,
at the
VERY least. Even a total klutz with no military training at all could light
up a target
a few feet away with a flashlight, while shooting at it with a pistol.
Mega-duh.
