Flame-thrower is a perfect close range weapon for taking on the flood or Spartans. It's basically an equivalent to the shotgun. Plasma and fire are quite different... plasma is a phase state above gas that emits a lot of heat as you said... fire is the release of energy during an oxidation reaction, and tremendous amounts of heat and energy are released in fractions of a second.
How would a flame thrower hurt the MC? Simple, the fire disrupts the shield and then the flames heat his armour and himself... the heat his armor causes his skin to melt and then he dies a very painful death.
No, the MC's armor is meant to resist thousands of degrees.. to actually heat his armor that much would mean keeping the MC on fire for hours.
yes, it resists heat.. not fire. Fire is not just heat.. it emits heat, but it is more then just heat... example: when you hold your hand next to a fire, it gets warm, but when you stick your hand in the fire, it burns.
ok, yea so MC's armour is heat resistant... doesnt mean that its fllame resistant.
HOnestly thought, I dont really care, its just a game... you can try to justify it all you want, but the flame thrower would be a good weapon with sweet effects, and give the game diversity.
Wow. Seriously dude, wow.
Okay, when you touch .. lets say hot water, you burn your hand.. is it fire? No. It is high temperatures that burn you, just like it is the high temperature of fire that burns your hand when you put it in. The further you put your hand from the fire, the cooler your hand is, the closer you put it, the warmer it gets until you burn yourself.
If you are subjected to extreme heats, you will catch fire, depending on the object. If MC's suit could not resist fire or heat, he would disentegrate in the atmosphere.
I agree, the flamethrower would be fun but it would not be effective if used realisitically.
