Super Dark??

[ZeonZaku]

Is it me or is this game on the majority super freaking dark? I don't know what is up. I have brightness maxed and I still get whacked by stuff I can barely see....

grr,

[Looney]

Use the flash light. ;)

[ZeonZaku]

Then I can't shoot :(

[Mad Max RW]

If it's really bad bring the console down (Ctrl Alt ~) and type r_gamma 1.3

r_gamma 1 is the default level. I find 1.3 to be pretty good.

doesn;t tht just ruin the game?!

Doom3 is ment to be dark, using the torch and then switchin to a weapon to take bind shotpots is thw whole point....or have a missed somthing here?

[ARMYguy]

The imps making a fire ball in their hands tell me where they are, so they help me, right before i get fried lol

[DooMMooD]

yeah im not gonna touch the light options ever. i actually enjoy getting the shit scared out of me by the best game in the world! :)

[mr_insanity]

i use the flashlight to see where they are, then try to get close and shoot 'em up while iluminating them with my gun's flash. it's risky, it's scary, and it looks fabulous.

[Doomaniac135]

i love the dark feeling to it

[Majuub]

If you cant stand the darkness you could always diable the shadows, but i think youd be wrong to do that cos itll seriously take away from tha gameplay

It kinda depends on your monitor and how much glare you're putting up with. I have 3 windows in my room with sun coming in at all times of the day, despite the use of shades. Unless I wait for night it's pretty much impossible to play. So with glare and slightly tweaked gamma setting it looks the same as it normally does at night.

But yeah, it can potentially ruin the game for people.

Why would they make a scary game that has lights galore. I mean if the map was lit up then wouldnt you tell if monsters were gonna pop outta the corner. Oh and another thing i love using the flashlight, it just seems more scarier using a flashlight, and you arent like special ops so there isnt a flashlight attached to every gun so you can shoot and use the flashlight at the same time. : )

[Krehator]

Yeah I like the darkness. The holding the flashlight and not being able to shoot is a sticky point though. I'd say having a separate flashlight is questionable. Heck it's set in the future I would think that the flashlight could have been put on yer helmet or something.

[ARMYguy]

The UAC only does things that dont make any sense, the flash light on the helmet makes too much sense... lol

[Nick man]

Thats how Ive been fighting in the dark.

Too bad its not always Imps in those dark rooms. :)

[ARMYguy]

dark rooms dont scare me, my soul cube eats hell knights and arch viles for din din

Ummm you guys do know that pushing f brings out the flashlight, and pushing it agian brings out your gun you had last, right?

[Doom_Dude]

It was so dark I fell in a hole and discovered a bunch of ammo..... the darkness is your friend. :D

[Nick man]

I set the push button on the scroll wheel of my mouse to the flashlight and its made playing so much smoother.

[Caden]

i always use the wheel button for my reload

[Nick man]

Reload is right click for me. Flashlight being the wheel works nicely since I use the wheel to scroll weapons anyways. It just seems more intuitive to me.

[Krehator]

Yes I know about the "f" button. Still you can't have the weapon and the light going at the same time, that's what I meant.

I might hook up my 5 button mouse and try binding the flashlight to one of those.

[samusVSpredator]

you guys all have the wrong idea. you just use the flashlight as your primary weapon, and only use your shotgun or something for the big ones (or if theyre to far away. you cant throw your flashlight..yet). But really that flashlight pwns. I kill anything thats reasonably close to me with the flashlight and never get hit. Usually takes a few hits, but gets the job done. Must be that flashlight in the commercial that gets run over by a truck. Thats one uber flashlight ^.^

[ZeonZaku]

Heres my issue. In a huge research facility i'll be damned if their is not ONE roll of Duct tape. Use duct tape on flash light. Attach to gun... BING! *drinky* *idea* *drinky*

[Nick man]

Even easier, look at how Will Smith holds a light and gun at the same time in the Bad Boys movies.
