Well, i meant that it would only be useful in campaign against the flood. And i really dont have too many encounters with the flamethrower, and i dont like to use it becuase not only does it hurt them, but you as well. Not to mention it is incredibly in-accurate.
It may be fun sometimes, but it really wouldnt add much to gameplay. I really dont see how having a flamthrower in Halo 3 will make multiplayer alot better. Actually, i think having too many kinds of weapons ruins the game. There is a limit to how many weapons you should have in a game. And in Halo 2 they were getting close to that limit.
It is not only usefull against flood. Trust me. I mod Halo PC, and have put the flamethrower in many maps (it is already in The Library, and there is even a Flood Actor Varient that uses it, but it was left out, like the flood juggernaut in H2), and it is INCREDIBLY effective against EVERYTHING except hunters.
And also, it is very difficult to set yourself on fire. The flames move faster than you! And the best thing is it's like the needler. IT SETS THEM ON FIRE! Thus they can be killed even if they kill you as the burning effects keep injuring them.
All in all, it would be a great addition to the Halo 3 Armoury. (I can just imaging Johnson poping open a crate in a warehouse and seeing it. "Ohhh baby!")
