    Make it extremely bright, and blind those who look at the user (especially those who have turned up their gamma).

    Get rid of it as i've never had to use it.

    Or actually make it work correctly causing shadows and illuminating objects.

    Make the light cone really warm so it makes allies perform better at Esamir and enemies worse at Indar. :D

    First, make it work on low settings again without having to change your settings and change them back each time you bring out your weapon.

    Second, makes any infiltrator within 15 meters shimmer brighter.

    - Make night time seriously very dark (not a blue version of daylight like we have now).
    - Make flashlight work like tac lights did in BF3 (probably not a great idea though, i value my retinas).
    - Make flash lights reveal infiltrators by messing with their optic cammo and creating some sort of reflective feedback (my fav idea so far).
    - Turn the flashlight into some sort of auto spotting device that "Q" spots enemy targets you aim at automatically.
    - Turn the flashlight into some sort of laser designation device that can lase targets to improve the accuracy of other weapons (like dalton shells from high altitude or standard HA missile launchers at long range) or provide a non LOS lock option for certain launchers against certain targets.
    - Turn the flashlight into some sort of infantry based shield diffuser that will allow the infantry owner to pass through some shields they normally cant.

    In other words turn it into some kind of multidevice. I'm all for it. Make it detect mines too.

    It's more a list of ideas or suggestions of things they could make it do. lt would be a touch OP if it could do all that lol. They have to do something with it though, at the moment its the proverbial teets on the proverbial bull.

    Bullsh**! :)

    Make it a direct counter to IRNV. Shine it directly at a player aiming with NV, their scope flares up.

    Give us underground bases that can be completely blacked out by turning off the light switch/blowing up the generators.

    Best idea I've ever heard. Imagine, a ZOE max with it turned off lurking the halls, you turn the corner and you see his bright pink glow flicker up, he turns, you try to turn off your flashlight but it's too late!

    Attach it to the Beamer.

    You now have the single most overpowered item in the game. It oneshots ZOEs, twoshots non-ZOEs, has the AP damage type and can pierce the Vanguard shield from the front in one hit.
