Tac Lights and Laser Sights

Just curious about who uses them. I never use them due to the fact that I feel they give away my position. I have never needed to illuminnate anything the game. As a real soldier I think this plays into my thought process (and yes I know tac lights blind)

I just know that I always see a wavering red light across the screen and see somebody running parallel (sp) to me and just hunt them down and knife them. Any thoughts on the strategy of using tac lights and red laser sights? I do often find myself switching them off after respawn and never turninhg them back on.
In the real military, we use them to blind the enemy and our "laser sights"are infra red, so they cannot be seen by the enmy. Hence the term ,"We Own The Night". Anyways, just curious about you alls experience with the different attachments.

They're a crutch for poor players who can't get kills otherwise, or good players who can't challenge themselves so turn easy mode on.
I only ever put a laser on PDWs because it makes firing from the hip so much easier with them. Never notice a difference otherwise.
Also if I'm playing aggressive recon with an actual sniper rifle I will bitch-out and maybe put a tac light on just for the lulz.

Since these two wrote the script I know what won't be in the sequel and it's common sense.

I do see them as a pain in the a$$ in some instances when I am confronted by them but generally, I just shoot into the center of the big glowing light.

They're for noobs really. Even your own team mates end up distracting you with them.

I use the laser the odd time for hip firing, but I would turn it off while its not in use, I never use the tac lights, dont really see a point in them. The amount of times people give my position away with them when they spawn off me, feckin always seems to be just before Im about to get points, then BAM sourrounded and shot dead.
