===Disadvantages===
The VISR's main disadvantage is its low vision enhancement feature, which cannot function in day time lighting situations, and cannot be toggled off so that only the identification functionality is active - this limits the true potential of the system, as it can identify both potential targets not at first noticeable to the soldier, and objects of interest that may be relevant to the current objective. The VISR's data management and GPS functionality require that the user not be in combat when he accesses these features as they obscure the user's view of the battlefield.

Also in the game Halo 3: ODST it turns on the flashlight of your current weapon making it easier for the enemy to spot you in dark places.
