Battlefield 2042’s flashbang accessibility feature has been adopted by Modern Warfare 2
Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 players can now enjoy a new accessibility option aimed at reducing eye strain. The Inverted Flash toggle is part of the Season 2 Reloaded update and can be found in the game’s interface options.
Inverted Flash Toggle Explained
The Inverted Flash toggle changes the color of the flash effect of the flashbang tactical grenade from white to black. The developers recommend adjusting this option for players who feel discomfort when affected by the full white screen effect of the flashbang tactical grenade. The duration and visual are at parity between the two values of the option, providing no competitive advantage.
Reducing Eye Strain
Flashbang effects in video games have the unfortunate effect of displaying a blinding white light on the screen. This can be pretty unpleasant for players, especially during late-night gaming sessions. The Inverted Flash toggle is an effort to reduce eye strain for those who are sensitive to bright lights.
Growing Demand for Eye-Safe Flashbangs
This is not the first time an idea for eye-safe flashbangs has been proposed. A CS: GO fan suggested a similar concept last year, and requests for similar toggles have been growing in various first-person shooter communities. Battlefield 2042 recently added a dark flashbang toggle in an update a few months ago, prompting Modern Warfare 2 fans to ask for something similar. The developers have responded by adding the Inverted Flash toggle to the game.
The Inverted Flash toggle is a small but significant addition to the game, improving the gaming experience for those who are sensitive to bright lights. It’s great to see developers respond to player requests for accessibility options and take steps to reduce eye strain in their games.
