I' ve been playing Halo for PC, when i noticed my flashlight doesn't work(in the game)
When it says to use the flashlight in dark places, nothing happens, it just shows the flashlight sign on the HUD display. I'm not sure whether its supposed to work, or my graphics are just that bad. Please respond if u have an answer.

Your graphics card must suck then. On my laptop, (64 MB integrated) the flashlight never worked. On my new computer, (6600 GT) it does show up.

Make sure you know what key your flashlight is set to. I played for a couple days without the flashlight because I inadvertently changed the key it was set to.

And in multi player people can see you coming a mile away when you use the flashlight. The light shines through cave walls, etc. I love it on BG when someone uses the flashlight in the caves, (which are well lit), and I can tell when they're near the exit so I can kill them.

Same with vehicle headlights, which are always on. Wait around the corner look for headlights, toss nade and hog goes boom.

Actually, i do know what key 2 use to turn on the flashlight, but i guess my graohics suck bad. I,ll just get a better one. Sometimes I find i need the flashlight, but only in campaign mode. I played Halo 2 for XBOX, and i saw the flashlight work, which made me wonder about my game.
