Flame thowers??? Should we have 'em?

Lt_Yeager · 01-20-2002, 03:38 AM

If someone made a mod, who would want flame throwers instead of, say, rocket launchers or something. Personnally I would want the flames because it is a cool thing in RTCW to see and to use. To me it would be a worthy download to my mod list for this game.

Kinda off-topic, but...

Are flamethrowers outlawed for use against infantry by the Geneva convention?

Seems like an awful way to die..

There are flamethrowers in the game man, no need for a mod.

More spam weapons? I don't know, I guess if there were server limits on them it be ok.

YAH! We should have them in mp.

I think napalm currently is outlawed, but not necessarily flamethrowers. Not sure when it was outlawed either. They sure as hell used napalm in Viet Nam.

Now, chemical weapons like mustard gas or chlorine gas would be really nasty...

if Flamethrowers will be added later, then the enemy death animation sequences have to be remaked too, to make this death because fire death isnt the same as being killed by bullets or explosions, so this addition if it is gonna be made its going to take a long time to develop dont you think??

spiewalk · 01-20-2002, 05:07 AM

I agree, death sequences would have to be changed to compensate for someone being scorched to death, rather then a bullet in their head.

yeah, flamethrowers were widely used by both the allies and axis during ww2. Axis even had a bunch of half-tracks with mounted flamethrowers.

Flamethowers would lag everything out.

Lt_Yeager · 01-20-2002, 08:27 AM

Yeah, all that is true about it messing with the game like FPS wise, but if someone devoted the time to it, it would be a neat MP mod. Oh, and I don't think this would be constituted as Off-Topic because it deals totally with the game. If I asked, "Should flame throwers be used to cook hampsters?" That would be Off-Topic. Correct?

Ya know, they probably got rid of the flame throwers they were planning because RTCW's are really nice - not that RTCW is a better game (which it isn't at all).
