Aite, take some time to vote and then help me speculate on what the flamethrower might be like for Halo 3.
I envision the ultimate Flood destroying weapon here and a great power weapon for MP. Basically, it'll follow its predecessor, but with a more powerful burst of flames that runs out slightly quicker. The more powerful burst will also help to prevent flame from hurting you, as was the case in Halo PC. THemore powerful burst will be balanced by smaller full tanks, therefore requiring more reloads.
I also believe there should be a duel-mode, with the flame burst the primary and the secondary being a wide-spray. MC would activate the second mode by twisting the nozzle of the flame thrower, and you'd do it using the bumper buttons on the 360 controller.
The wide-spray would send flames out a 2-inch think wave between 90 and 135 degrees infront of you. It would have the same rate of fire as the burst and cause less damage to one enemy, but it would allow you to take on many enemies at once, as is the case when battling the flood.
The Cov. Plasma Launcher would be similar to the human version, except it unleashes Blue or Red STikcy Plasma ( like the nades) from a tank contained complety in the weapon ( as most COV weapons work). The plasma sticks to an enemy when they get sprayed and then explodes ( kinda of like the needles and the plasma nades)
The second mode would be a charged shot that unleashes 25% of the energy at once. The plasma collects at the nozzle into a sphere (roughly same size as the plasma grenades) and shoots it straight, like a grenade launcher would. The plasma will stick to someone when it hits them and will only explode afer its stuck to something.
This could get rid of the need for a plasma grenade launcher as well, since alot of people are opposed to the idea of adding frag and plasma grenade launchers as duel-modes to other weapons.
alright, vote and help me improve my ideas
Also would like to note that these weapons could be explosive, which gives a disadvantage to using them.
it'd be sweet if you shot the tank of someone wearing a flame thrower or plasmaLAUNCHER with a sniper/beam rifle or hit the person dead on with an explosive round (such as then tank, guass, plasma mortar that the wraith fires or they step directly on an exploding grenade/ a plasma nade is stuck to them), it cause the weapon to explode. Not to mention these extra explosion effects would be awesome.
It'd be a cool extra and prevent players from abusing the weapons. The explosion of the weapon could be stronger then a normal tank/guass shell or nade, which means its really dangerous to go near someone wearing these, cause you could get messed up too. Just a though.
