A few complaints about the flamethrower...

As much as I love using the flamethrower theres a few things I dislike about it. I dont like the delay from when you pull the trigger to when the flames actually come out, although this is realistic. I also dislike the fact that I cant go prone while using the flamethrower. But the infinite ammo, the impressive range and the amount of damge it inflicts make it worth using Yes [Y] So what do you think about the M2?

I think the reason they dont have that is because the protection perk is the counter to the flamethrower and they dont want it to be unbalanced

I still haven't unlocked it...I'm slow...

I can't wait though.  Should be fun.  It's amazing when you get burned by it and you re-spawn and you still have the flames around the outside of your screen. 

I think it would be crazy if there wasn't a delay when shooting.  Probably a little too overpowered. 

There is a difference between knowing the path and walking it.

I think that they should also have the person using a flame thrower burst into a ball of flame, like in sp missions, when they are killed while they have it.

Yeah if the tank on their back exploded that would be cool

Used it in 2 HQ matches online. That was it. Good in single player but not in multi.

Re: A few complaints about the flamethrower...
Theres a delay when using it because of your latency to the host. Trust me, I know. I use this weapon most of the time now, just for the fun of it since I'm almost bored with this game already. It's just the same as the delay when you mount your weapon with the bipod. When your host, this delay doesn't happen. I've made posts about this before. I'm not sure why it would be any different than pulling the trigger on your regualar gun vs being in bipod mode. Either way, the crappier the connection, the longer the delay for both the flame thrower and any gun in bi pod mode.

Nearly all of your posts/comments on nearly all of the threads you post in are negative.

If you dislike the game that much why do you play it.

Perhaps you should trade it in, or stop posting on the forums.

Your explanations always end up in a negative rant against the game........

   Off topic: Or perhaps you should learn to deal with negative feedback and try and create a constructive argument rather than display your insecurities about this game for everyone to see...
   On topic: I've seen people use it, I dont have it yet. But it does seem useful when you're trying to clear a room in headquarters or other situations like that, other than that, I would'nt see any other use for it, unless your bad at aiming with a gun.

Well, I've got to go to work now, so your going to have to find someone else to flame. Maybe you should do the same. Have a nice day all.

does a community level of 5 entitle posters to point out other posters' incessant negativity or is it some innate sense of entitlement inside that provides posters the license to ban complainers from these forums?

seriously, is it this level of utter mitigated gall that gets posters to that community level?  if so, i need to do more policing myself.  maybe an "ambassador" or moderator will notice then?

Incessant negativity is against the Forum rules.

Valid critism is accepted if the relevent facts are provided.

Re: A few complaints about the flamethrower...
I came to a conclusion last night, and that conclusion is.........I wish the M2 would've been placed in the weapons category, although I'm not sure where it would fit.  Pyromaniac is sorely missed, even though it never made the cut.

And yes, it does bother me that you can't go prone with the M2 equipped, but I'm sure that's due to balance reasons.

TBH I don't think anyone will ever use the flame proof perk until everyone is in 10th Prestige because it is useless at the moment with people only having the flame thrower for one level and Molotov's useless I think there are much more valuable perks you can use.

The delay is the fuel travelling through the pipes.

As for going prone, it would take along time to get up with that heavy tank on your back.

I like it, but chose to Prestige, so it will be a couple of weeks before i get the pleasure of using it again.Wink [;)]

Thats pretty sad you went out of you way and looked up all of his post, no one likes a stalker... Confused [8-)]  that remindes me of one time when i made fun of a guy in the halo 3 forums and he went to the halo 3 stats site and then made a post comparing me to him... i dont know if i was more scared that he posted that topic or he wasted about half an hour of his life to go out of his way to make me feel "stupid"

Re: A few complaints about the flamethrower...
I did not look up all of his posts, his posts stand out because they are so negative, no matter what the subject is about.

That is the last thing i am going to say on the subject, as i do not want to take this thread off-topic, as it had just managed to get back on-topic.

Re: A few complaints about the flamethrower...
so you looked up most of his posts then? you should look at all my posts then, i probally have a good 100 locked or banned cause i talk trash about something... most people cant come to terms with the truth or reality of the subject at hand and have to make and excuse to why there reasoning is so poor... PS frank the tank im form madison and love the brewers, i hope we get CC back!... back on subject i hate the m2 cause it lags the game when 3 people decide to have a BBQ cook off....
