So I played a lot of zm_exodus (or what ever the name is). Nice and challenging map, but very dark. Somewhere I read that the flashlight now got a battery but didn't notice anything until yesterday. I was in the last underground room where the ladder is up to the trains.
Suddenly, my flashlight went off. I couldn't turn it back on properly so I found out the batterycomment was true... But uhm - no hud inlay to show how long the battery works?
Does it recharge? Mine just flickered and went off... How exactly does it work, and how long does it take?

Oh so no recharging - after 11 minutes it's off for the whole round? Hms.

Well what maps are there that you actually need the flashlight on for 11 minutes?

Vitale is not equal useful. And it's often useful to have it on. (So I get very easy up to 11 minutes  ) |

I find it's often not that useful to have it on that long. Most maps are either light, or not dark enough to need it.

Most flashlights last for 10 hours.

Also flashlights eat up some fps (because they are dynamic lights) so it might save ~5fps if only half of the team has got the lights on.

Indeed. Though some indicator of "HOW MUCH FLASHLIGHT I HAS?" would be nice so I don't have to tell the newbies their flashlights aren't bugged when they flicker out and die. |

We need both a flashlight meter and an oxygen meter to tell how long we can go underwater.

Actually I'd enjoy a flashlight / oxygen meter.

It would be amazing if the flashlight flickered as it failed. Imagine the panic a survivor would go through in a dark room surrounded by zombies...

In case any of the developers read this, would it be possible to let the mapper change the length of the flashlight batter on a per-map basis? Only reason I ask is that some maps don't take anywhere near 11 minutes to complete, and some would take that long and be dark enough to require the constant use of a player's flashlight.
Just an idea. Feel free to shoot it down if it sucks.
