Bring in the flamethrower from Halo 1 PC

Sniper>Carbine>BR>SMG>Magnum>PP>AR

Bring back the Beta!

AR noobs can lick my SMG, you make me sick.

"Potable" means that you can drink it.

To be a spelling -blam!-, I think its "portable"

I loved that thing, only is was useless for everything save banshees and close range.

It would be over-powered in my eyes.

Perhaps Reach should have the NA4.

Yes, definitely. It should be like the Halo: PC version, it's a normal FPS weapon, it has 100 fuel units per tank, and you can hold up to 6 additional tanks, and the flames should reach longer. Today's flamethrowers can reach up to 100 metres, but 500 years in the future, flamethrowers weighs twice as much, and only reach 13,7 metres, and (in canon) they explode if the tanks are shot (which modern flamethrowers don't, and can't do).


A modern flamethrower will explode if it's fuel tank is punctured by an incendiary round (like a tracer). It just has to heat up the fuel enough to ignite, and those Covenant do like their high-heat weapons.

Also, technically the Flamethrower in Halo PC and Halo 3 are the same production of flamethrower. The Halo 3 one simply has a larger but non-removable fuel tank, a different nozzle, and presumably uses a different fuel. Additionally it's not intended as a weapon but rather as a defoliant projector which justifies it's rather short range. Plus it's really quite light compared to modern flamethrowers considering the amount of fuel it carries.

Rock + Metal = Life
Simple math

The flamethrower should realy be improved! First person weapon, longer range and that you should be able to forge more than one flame thrower...

Seriously. 3 weapons? Way to barely scratch the surface of the gameplay.

cause everybody uses those weapons and there fairly easy to use

all men are equal, except i am more equal than you because i am alive and you are dead

one of my favorite weapons to use in forge and custom games is the flame thrower because it is so much fun to use so i would love it if it were possible to have more than 1

  • 11.11.2009 11:59 AM PDT

The last time I tried to make a quote, a car smashed through my wall and the tire hit my grandmother in the other room. But for those of you who can haz once more between five, I say it will be five between seven divided by zero multiplied by Chick Norass and Broce Tee.

Because I would totally want to drink a flamethrower and potentialy cause fatal damage to my body.
Yeah.

I disagree.

It should be noted that flame thrower operators did not usually face a fiery death from the slightest spark or even from having their tank hit by a tracer bullet as often depicted in modern war films. The Gas Container [i.e. the pressurizer] is filled with a non-flammable gas that is under high pressure. If this tank were ruptured, it might knock the operator forward as it was expended in the same way a pressurized aerosol can bursts outward when punctured. The fuel mixture in the Fuel Containers is difficult to light which is why magnesium filled igniters are required when the weapon is fired. I'd rather trust military officials than some dude on a video game forum.

Plus it's really quite light compared to modern flamethrowers considering the amount of fuel it carries. No it isn't.


Way to misquote:

The Gas Container [i.e. the pressurizer] is filled with a non-flammable gas that is under high pressure. If this tank were ruptured, it might knock the operator forward as it was expended in the same way a pressurized aerosol can bursts outward when punctured. The fuel mixture in the Fuel Containers is difficult to light which is why magnesium filled igniters are required when the weapon is fired. Fire a bullet into a metal can filled with diesel or napalm and it will merely leak out the hole unless the round was an incendiary type that could possibly ignite the mixture inside. This also applies to the flame thrower Fuel Container.

And to reiterate, the Halo PC/3 flamethrower is not a weapon. It's a brush clearing tool.

So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

Hey Klump! Good idea bout the flamethrower.
