I can almost assure you it will be modded in, but I don't think bungie is releasing any new weapons.

It's useful in some situations. They need to bring it back, and probobly will.

In........................................................Out .

Bring it back, but there will be a contradiction, MC is invulnerable to heat, but we're going to put in a flamethrower? Ah well, I WANT IT IN H2V

I want to bring it back, but it's unlikely. It was stated in the Bungie Weekly Update a while ago that they would not add in any new weapons or maps. Which I have to say the latter got me more irritated than the former.

that and the halo 2 FRC or FRG from xbox. that one was like a rocket launcher, you only get a certain amount of shots, like 2-3 rounds before reloading, instead of just overheating

Maybe they are putting in gametypes containing pistols, flametherowers and other stuff (No, goddamnit no!). And Halo PC-like "classic gametypes" what are from H2 from Xbox?

Gametypes using the weapon have no real meaning if the weapon is not in the game period.

No, Halo was better before Gearbox put in crap like the flamethrower, fuel rod cannon, banshee, and rocket hog, which messed up the balance of the game. I really hope Bungie doesn't do the same kind of thing with H2V. Remember, just because you think a weapon is fun or useful doesn't mean it's balanced.

  • 12.28.2006 10:38 PM PDT

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

it was a fun weapon but it was too powerful unbalanced

  • 12.28.2006 11:29 PM PDT

No signature found. Click here to change this.

I do like the Flamethrower, but it is hard to use. The flames have to ricochet off of something to hit the target. Not to mention the flames are lame as all get-up.

it's interesting to "Bull fight" with warthogs. you wal;k sideways with the flames, and then they run into them.fun times.

  • 12.28.2006 11:36 PM PDT

Bungie HAS to put the flamethrower in Halo 2 Vista. its the signature weapon of halo PC! I mean, look at the top of the page where it says "THE MAW" its our handy dandy flaming weapon of death representing us.

Like all the different rifles you'd find in the CMT Beta?

I'm glad they put in the fuel rod gun, the flame thrower, the rocket hog, and the banshee. Despite unbalancing the gameplay, I still think these HPC exclusive weapons are what characterizes Halo PC itself. HPC just wouldn't be as much fun without them. Nor would the maps - Ice Fields, Timberland, Death Island, Gephyrophobia? I love those maps. Halo PC just wouldn't be Halo PC without them.

I don't understand why people say it's such a cheap weapon. Save your rant for the fuel rod gun, that piece of green plasma excuse for a handheld artillery is no more than a green jello noob fest.

The flamethrower, although is way overpowered, is pretty balanced in some ways. Sure it's overpowered and can kill and burn the crap out of opponents faster than you can say "i smell BBQ", but it has very short range. It also burns out temporarily, like the Covenant Plasma weapons. Opponents can also fire through the flames, throw nades blindly through the blazing fire, and the people using the flamethrower can't see what's going on on his 12 'oclock (his front, due to the flames). Also, for the people with low to just-decent kind of PC's and specs, they'll lose heck of a lot of framerates while spraying the fire constantly.

So yeah, I think the flamethrower should be in.

Turn down the stupid so I can understand what you're trying to say.

Ipjuunin, I want the flame thrower back as well, but now that I see it, with the shotgun and the energy sword taking on the roles of close-quarters weapons, I don't think Bungie would want such redundancy by adding another weapon that would probably be inconsistent depending on the internet connection that would probably be cheap and despised like the sword in the end.

i don't understand the logic he presents thats all

  • 12.30.2006 6:16 PM PDT

As long as Bungie doesn't add the Flamethrower in small maps such as lockout and warlock, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. For example: Longest + Flamethrower = BURN BABY BURN!!!

True, the flamethrower wasn't balanced very well, and its damage is very random.. sometimes a little spurt won't do more than a tap, other times, will take down their shields something fierce.. if rebalanced properly it would be great. The one for Serious Sam 2nd Encounter was a great flamethrower, same with the one that was on RTCW. If they made them more like those ones, they'd pwn soo much.

Exactly. Also, for those unknowing... the flamethrower was one of the original weapons for Halo that didn't make the cut, along side a portable minigun were 2 really cool ideas that never reached release for xbox.. I'm actually quite happy gearbox decided to bring back the flamethrower... definately not seen enough in games these days.

Lmao, oh god, the memories of playing longest with ff on... and people being kicked for tking by accident... too funny. That or koth with flamethrowers and ff on... saweet jebus, if you were more likely to get tked by fire or nades than getting killed by enemies. :P

I don't completly agree with that. Yes, the flamethrower and FRC are unbalanced, but the Banshee and Rocket Wharthog are not. The Banshee is fine, as long as the pilot isn't some noob who runs everyone over, and the rocket wharthog's power is balanced out by the reload and how hard it is to aim when the Warthog is bouncing around at high speed.

I don't think the flamethrower should be in H2V. It's ok when it's out in the open you can flank the user, but most of the time people use it in small tunels and rooms where you burn to death before you have the chance to fire a shot.

I guess you can say that. It sort of forces the users to think again about using the flamethrower, no matter how good it is, it is filled with negatives of its own.

I'm there but, man this is really starting to sound like communism.
Long live the MAW.

it's like the pistol, if used correctly it can un-balence every weapon and give u a huge advantage if you master it. unlike the pistol how-ever, the flamethrower can't be mastered because it's point between the huge crosshairs, and pull until u smell something cookin', repeat. just balence the thing, limit it's use, and make it hard-to-reach such as the sword in Halo 2 and there you go.
BTW: iamsilencer, start to use commas and we wouldn't have to waste 10 minutes trying to figure it out.
