That a simple 3-cell maglite can last for hours, even days, on fresh batteries, but... Whatever futuristic flashlights they have in FPS games can barely last a minute? I mean, jeez, if your power cells or whatever are that bad, just get some Duracells... |
playing half life? it's a shake-light, it recharges as you walk.

What about Doom 3? If you tried to hit a demon (or anything, for that matter) over the head with a shake-light, you'd end up with some plastic shards... And why is it that, when you reload your gun with a partially expended magazine, your other mags refill themselves until you have however many full mags and one partially full? I can understand when you find a box of ammo, you'd just drop your partially-full ones and replace them with full ones, but do all super-cyber-soldiers from the future have automatic LULAS? And where, when you get right down to it, do you find space to fit a rocket launcher, five grenades, five claymores, a crowbar, a shotgun, two subguns, a couple pistols, a sword, a sniper rifle or crossbow, and whatever else you find, and still be able to walk right? |
i have a shakelight that's made of a plastic polymer and damn durable. people have tested it by throwing off roofs onto concrete, running it over with cars, etc and it's a damn rock. not terribly heavy though and i wouldn't want to have to fight a demon with it  as for the rest of your questions..... sounds like you want to play a more realistic game. i'd recommend America's Army or Red Orchestra. |
