yeah personally i think the flamethrowers kinda crap but i havnt used it that much, but the little time i have i havnt racked up 2 much kills :S replacing it wiv a grenade lancher would b sweet, just make it powerful and wiv little ammo, dont wanna make it easy now do we...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the flamethrower is a niche weapon that requires an large amount of finesse to use effectively. Too many people just spray with it and wonder why they don't kills.

Besides a grenade launcher provides too much firepower at too great a distance, which is why grenades and/or stationary charges should be the only explosives offically in the game...

imoral- the thing is, the flamethrower *shouldn't* be a finesse weapon. we're talking about what ammounts to a hose spewing fire, for chrissakes. no finesse involved. just point and burn. badda bing badda boom. what you see is what you get. now, in BB, on the other hand, the flamethrower is an increadible complicated and difficult weapon to use effectively.

If you can't get like 30+ kills with a flamethrower you are using it wrong. There is however a bug that causes it to shoot high and it doesn't hit zombies at close range, they need to be at medium range for it to damage, point blank hits don't work.

MadMax Said that the minigun will not be replaced. But why don't replace the flamethrwoer with CockTail gernades.

History Lesson

The Cocktaill nade is a gernade which when cocked with explode in 5 seconds or less just like an average gernade but flames come from it. Thus setting fire on the area around you.

ive heard of cocktils that can be blown up but ive never heard of cocktail nades a cocktail thign that blows up is acocktail (alchoholic drink) with a napkin/ small towel stuffed in the stop that jhas some gas on it then you light on fire and throw it then when it hits ground it bursts into flame/ blows up thus setting the area on fire. 'Nuff said

I'd prefer a flamethrower over Molitov Cocktails...

I'd love a molotov firing grenade launcher

no seriously... Flamethrowers should damage more if not just spraying, but DROWNING a zombie in flames... makes sense?

It's made for killing alot of zombie's at the same time...
Like 10 or 20.

It does damage over time.
But it's really easy for other people to steal your kills... which is why it's best suited in maps like bb_fun2 where you can get away from people and put fire to a horde of zombies.

we need a fertlizer bomb u could easly make one if u had the right ingredients very easy to get your hands on just stuff like fro gardening

As I said somewhere else, not everyone has frag or HE grenades at home...

yeh.
The HE grenades aren't really that effective either though...
Like on Tacoland.
I just preferre the ak47 or tavor or something to them.

By that same token, not everyone has the ingredients to make a fertilizer bomb.

In addition, they are very, very weak when compared to any type of combat grade explosive. Nowhere nearly as lethal as a standard grenade, and that is a big factor in determining what weapons get in.

@Mtg: Those are "Multifunction Grenades" that happen to explode and were designed for PE, thusly they have very low damage (compared to zombie hp) which is why they don't kill effectively at all.

Yeh. I know.
I've played PE alot... even used those.
(Even though I did love the Suberu.. or whatever the gun's name was)


Well maybe the fertilization grenades could do more damage... but you'd have to find 2 or 3 components on the map.

That would kind of be pointless though.
