balance and performance issues.

All throughout history great empires rise and fall. How you ask?
Two reasons:
1. Economic failure because of either inflation or socialistic programs.
2. War. Their armies were spread too thin and too far from home.

The United States has bases all around the world in "hazardous" areas and it's economy collapses it seems every 20 years. Do you really think that history won't change? Do you really think that you can run the world?

Most likely pressure, they probably didn't have enough time to program it because of the fans.

Or not....

Framerate issues probably. The Xbox hardware can only take so much.

Oh, hmm... maybe they thought the flamethrower was kinda useless in Halo 1. Then they decided to bring it back.

And Kingkong1216... wow...

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

A combination of these two is most likely.

I know they had a lot of regrets about Halo 2 because they rushed some parts of it.
E.g the brutes.

Haha, Family Guy for the win.

Anyway, the flamethrower was never in Halo 1 for Xbox, which is the one Bungie made. So they never really removed it. The flamethrower was only in previous versions of Halo 1 (the 3rd person version made for Mac), Halo PC and Halo 3.
