A good way to get a flamethrower for yourself:

1) Save up 20 dollars.

2) Go to your nearest game store, or Best Buy.

3) Purchase HaloPC.

4) Enjoy all the fire you put on Blood Gulch, and avoid the hotspots.

I beleive the truth is that the Xbox didn't have the graphics capabillity to show the flames correctly. It would have looked lame, so they left it out. Halo PC has better shaders so they included it.

Yeah I was under the impression it was my forum.

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

The Flamer is one of the cheapest weapons in the game. If you like close combat, pick up a shotgun.

The flamethrower is actualy really fun. It's actualy very well balenced becuase beyond about 10ft. its TOTALY worthless, but under 10ft. all you can do is pray. So just shoot the guy before he gets with in 10ft. of you and you'll live....usualy.

The fuel rod though, thats just the cheapest piece of crap around. it works at close range to long range and it has a two shot kill, splash damage, and a high rate of fire. The two shot kill and the splash damage don't bother me, but being able to fire 4 banshee bombs per second is just -blam!- up.

Actually, its 5 within about...2.8-3.1 seconds..I think. Don't quote me on that, its just a guess. I think thats about accurate though.

That's retarded. That's like choosing to ignore classroom rules and end up throwing a sandwich into your teacher's face and asking not to get detention.

And yes, it's our forum, not yours. You can stay here if you like, but you have to pay rent.

The flamethrower is good against those bad banshee drivers who try to dive at you. The original plan for the flamethrower, is that during the keyes scene, you would have to grab one and burn out the Keyes blob to get the neural implants.

The flamer is actually programmed into the XBOX version, but it was never used in any of the maps. You could try to unlock it by means of modding, but that would be illegal.

Just get the PC version ;-)

Really? Cool.

But imagine if the guy by mistake used up the whole flamethrower for fun, and just found out that he needs it to get the neural implants...that'll suck for him. xD

The flame thrower was left out of the Xbox version because of time constraints. Halo was rushed, when you think about it. Use common sense - don't whine to us about why you can't afford a $20 game when you can afford to have a computer and internet service.
