BF3 Flashlights: Preferred OP Attachment for Noobs

BF3 flashlight attachments are a great idea gone terribly wrong. It's easy to tell that this feature is OP because it is the preferred attachment for noobs everywhere. To make matters worse, it forces seasoned players to use the flashlight attachment just to compensate for its overuse to level the playing field. The effects of the flashlight are far too debilitating, with no consideration to the amount of ambient lighting. Should it blind a player in the darkened subway of Metro? Yes. But in a well lit hallway? Or outside in the sunshine? Absolutely not. If DICE can't figure out how to balance the effects of the flashlight inversely with the amount of ambient light, then get rid of it altogether, or nerf it immediately.
