If it hits me, there's like a 110% chance I'll die. It's like a portable Flamethrower.

I could say the same about the Spartan Laser on maps such as Valhalla.. but that's a whole different story.

It's anti-armor of course it's supposed to overpowered if you use it on Infantry.

Sticky grenades do the same thing.

Yeah but if you ask me it's easier to "stick" someone with a firebomb, and if you miss the fire is too powerful, it's like a plasma grenade exploding for like 6+ seconds on the ground.

it might last 5+ seconds on the ground but it will only damage you if you are hit by it or walk through the fire, this basically makes them rubbish.

I've met a lot of people in Customs who are stupid enough to walk through them, most people focus on chasing a kill to much to notice the floor's on fire.

Why are you guys still arguing about how powerful they are when it's already been posted that the reason was due to lag?

Most likely they're arguing because lag is only one of the reasons why Firebombs aren't in MM. I personally enjoy them in Customs, but not in MM.

Lag? I use it (and fuel rod + senitel beam) just fine in forge or customs with a bunch a friends. It`s not in MM cause its for balancing purposes.

Yeah, imagine camping with firebombs? It would be terrible. This is exactly why Bungie took them out... or so I believe.

Note: Firebombs=Lag? So Bungie flames cause lag also right? -_- I didn't really see that on this Bungie day.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with power. It's the same reason you don't see fuel rod cannons laying around.

Flames, fuel rods and senitel beams cause lag.
That's why there are almost no flamethrowers and none of the others listed above.

  • 08.10.2010 8:01 PM PDT

Its almost the same as stickies, so I'm wondering this myself.

No, Bungie have stated years back that it was removed due to server problems.

Bungie flames are ascetic and are not given "body" but the firebombs actually had to "light and burn" the area if too many were used is would ruin connections to the host due to the need for the flames and areas to be synchronized.

They were never put in there due to Lag created on certain occasions that would effect the connection of too many people.
