Silent Hill light?

For those of you who know about this PS/PS2 game, which flashlight would you use? If you don't know about this game, try googling it and a few pics should give you an idea of how scary it is. BTW it can be any game from the series (1-4).

Personally I'll take the SF A2 with GG&G TID.:rock: I'd take the SF M6 but it's a battery guzzler.

With all the fog and scary crap in that game, I would take a vector spotlight and a SF M6 strapped to an assault rifle.

Yeah that's what I'm talking about! hehe

LOL, this reminds me of all those "what guns would you take if in zombie territory" on the other forums I frequent.

For fog and scary stuff I'd have my main light (maybe a SF M4 Devastator) and like four more for backup.

Yeah I was thinking about how many batteries can I carry, how fast the light will run out, et cetera but looking back you never run out in the game.=P

Your flashlight in Half-Life 2 runs out. You have the world's most high-tech environmental/battle armor suit with like a 1W flashlight than can only run for one minute at a time.

Uhm, how about 2 headlights an 2 taillights on a fast car speeding away from that creepy silent hill place as fast as possible??

As an ADD patient with a really strong tendency to hyperfocus on videogames, the Silent Hill series is not recommended... But I've played most of them anyway... Once while playing in silent hill part 1 at night without any lights on, I actually grabbed my Nerf gun and shot my TV several times as a reflex... how bad is that??

But if I did have to go there, I'd probably take this:

he he he. i'd second the a2. i've always been leery of a flashlights power to broadcast your location to others as well as reveal others location to you. i've frequently put my hand over the lens to let only a sliver of light escape through my fingers. i'd want a light with multiple levels and extended runtime, maybe the HDS or an aleph?

I think it's a good thing it was only a Nerf gun or it could have been much worse.

I know it's not Silent Hill, but what do you guys think about the Doom 3 light? IT SUCKS BAD! It must be like 3 lumens, even though it's like the year 2145!?

I played Doom 3 in the dark anyway. I never did any of those flashlight mods although they looked cool. Most of the time some Imp would pop out and light up the room anyway.

As for a Silent Hill after seeing my Xeray 50W, I'd take the BB. I wouldn't kill any zombies, just a nice second/third degree burn.

BTW that game had some sluggish controls.

Whoa never knew about Doom 3 flashlight mods, but the light has like no spill with moderate-weak throw. All that while you're trying to identify enemies by juggling a light and weapon, argh.

Never heard of this game. Looks like they're making a movie on it.

:lolsign:


Way to go! I m too scared to play silent hill.
I ve not even completed F.E.A.R. <too many coffee spill on the keyboard as I got shock and scare the sh*t out of my pants, knock over my coffee cup.

I ll say it be better off to bring Mr Ted with his HID collection to Silent Hill to do a Superlight Shootout IV. :lolsign:

Seriously a handheld HID in that game would help alot

Just watched the movie, opened today over here.
The officer looks like she's using an M6, other than the shoulder-strapped light.

There were also some old school lights; some of them looked like one in the thread about our oldest lights, with a big batt pack connected below the flashlight.

Sort of on the same topic - in the movie that came out - what type of light did the cop have on her shoulder/chest? It was some sort of area light from the looks of it.

Seeing all the Silent Hill experts here I have to ask, what the heck was that place? Was the town posessed or was it a gateway to hell?

I never played the game but based on the movie, it seemed like the townsfolk themselves invited evil when they went on a witchhunt and started burning witches. The fires backfired and burnt the town down.

Then the devil returns with the burnt witch for revenge against the fanatics.

I don't know what the cop's shoulder light is; it's like a rectangle plate/box light. I'm sure some cops can chip in if it is a real police issue item.

You do in part 2. You find a battery and have to switch out. I always got a chuckle out of "Pyramid Head" dragging around that broad sword. Looked like he was staggering drunk.

I would definitely prefer a light with much more throw. Standing in a dark hallway with one shotgun shell left and hearing that static start on the radio (indicating a monster is close by) and then turning around to be greeted by "mannequin/nurse" monsters is no fun.
