Heyyo,

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.
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.

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.
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.

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!!!
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
