A different take on flares

[Kurbutti]

Why do you always make fun of me? It's saddening.

[frvge]

I think the idea is pretty cool. Could indeed be a secondary effect of the flares.

Interesting idea.

[Vega]

I've always found the idea of using a flare as a weapon to be silly.  If we're going for a burning effect, it just seems better placed to use something like white phosphorus rather than a flare.

Well, i'm a fan of flamethrowers, too. Just imagine how cool oit would be to burn spies in vents!

[Vega]

As much as I love flamethrowers, I find it very hard to add that kind of weapon into Project Stealth and have it be taken seriously.  If it's possible to add, yes, that would be awesome, but that idea just seems too far off for a stealth action multiplayer game.  Who knows, maybe it's possible to add a flamethrower attachment for the mercenary's gun, which is limited to short small bursts of flames until it needs reloading.

QFE

[Gawain]

maybe the frag nade shock wave should run along vents?

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Meh. I can't see it working out.
You hear the spy, throw a nade anywhere in the vent and he's hurt.

Merc != TF2 Pyro

[Wanted_David]

i'm all for the idea of giving innate flares to mercs, although some people find them not so much useful, it can be very helpful when the time comes...

[Farley4Fan]

Dude.  Remove tazer completely.  Add flamethrower with same effects/same range/etc. 

I win. 

Close thread.

Make it happen.

:o

Flamethrower is original. But things that would be burnable, wont burn... not enough time.

[Farley4Fan]

Burnable: spies

Not burnable: anything else

Exactly like the tazer. It's just a short spurt of flames that would make the spy flail his arms around until the fire goes out - then he'd pass out.  Just like a tazer. 

All I'm saying is that you don't have to make a tazer because there were things that should conduct electricity in CT when hit by a tazer but they didn't, and no one bitched about it.  A flamethrower would definitely be an awesome and original replacement to the tazer.  Just a visual change, the tazer/flamethrower would be the same gadget.  I say we have a vote.
