again, one of the few, unballenced weapons in halo PC. thay shoulda kept it out, or had an option to turn it on. i mean i can get a few good kills with it, but it lacks the satisfaction od killing someone with a diffrent gun. i mean meleeing a sniper to deat is more fun

I agree. The flamethrower is a close-range weapon (kinda like the RL) that doesn't do much damage. The only time I use it is when I am on my own little LAN server (where no one can interfere) and I watch how it works, and overheats

if you're 1 foot from the person, it's a 1 second kill

Heyyo,

Hmm, that's probably why bungie left it out for Halo xbox... the gun has probs... sometimes the fire streams do no damage, other times a little spurt's nearly fatal... the damage varies too much with the gun, and sometimes too strong... it's very good for taking down warthogs once you get a full stream out. If you're in a hog? hope your driver ain't n00b and gonna drive up to it... if he does bail out and whup em' with a pistol dammit. :)

Ya know what game had a good flamethrower? Serious Sam 2nd encounter (NOT to be confused with Serious Sam 2..), though you did stay on fire for a long time, but at least the amount of flames you hit them with varied the damage...

There is options to remove the new weapons n' banshee, it's called the classic game modes. Play Classic ctf, no banshee, no fuel rod, no flamethrower.. Makes HaloPC more bearable.... now if only someone could make the rocketlauncher less n00b...

I never use it. In close range combat the shoot-gun is way better.
