Tazer or Flamethrower? Vote Please.

Excuse my spelling...

Papa whatever you do, it may seem like a good idea, and it is - it's also creative, but in the context of this game... I think your going to have to accept that nobody likes the idea, for the many reasons already given.

i agree.  I still fail to see a lot of those 'reasons' but everyone's got their opinion and I'll accept that.  lol, and you can't say nobody likes it. someone voted for flamethrower!!!  ;D

Tidenburg, halo, gears of war, none of the maps burn.  How about call of duty?  Haven't played that one yet.  The only game in recent memory that had a flamethrower that had a severe effect on the environment was far cry 2 - and as far as I know it was a revolution for fire in games.  I would have no problem with nothing on the map burning.  A little black smear would look fine and even that's not needed.

Obviously this post went over your heads (lennard, hyper, whoever).  I've accepted that most people don't like the idea.  I do feel that this idea was very misunderstood right from the get go, though.  Some people even thought I meant it was for spies.  That's the reason I decided to explain the "flamethrower" even further.  I just think that it's important for Project Stealth to have some visual differences from CT to really make it its own game.  I understand that the primary goal is to clone CT, but I don't see where a little bit of differences in style can hurt anything. 

I say, clone CT gameplay to almost a T.  Then, if possible, up the coolness factor, give it a bit more flavor.  Realism aside, a semi-flamethrower for mercs could be one of the most pleasing ways to kill in the game.  Wouldn't it be more fun to burn spies than to shock them - which you already do to mercs all the time I might add?

I understand the community here.  Flamethrowers are usually gimmicks and shouldn't belong in a game like this, right?  I think the problem is that flamethrowers when mentioned are envisioned as these massive tubes spraying blazes all around.  This one is unique.  Compact.  Semi-lethal.  Like a tazer.  It's just the unique idea of it (this kind of flamethrower) that got me to bring it up in a serious manner.

Any last words before this thread goes down the poop-chute?

Yes, no matter how creative you are in terms of how you use it, a flame is a flame.

[Farley4Fan]

Oh, so no flames. Flames are bad in a game with guns/explosives.  Come on.

[Spark Mandriller]

Can you really not see how security guards using a flamethrower on intruders is stupid?

[Farley4Fan]

Mercs = Security Guards?

lol  :D

And still, stuck in the realism.

[Ion.67]

Let's face it: This game is supposed to be Sci-Fi realistic. Not whatever.

And yes, mercs are security guards

Yeah silly me I don't approve of games being idiotic for no reason how silly of me.


How about you stop ignoring my questions and start giving me some answers, boss?

Flames are bad as a weapon for a team which is non lethal except for jumping on mercs and necking them, and using the mercs weapons against them, and maybe things on the map, yes I agree.

Now, I know it's not MEANT to be lethal for what you want but in an amount of flames that makes it worth using the tool, it really is. A tazer tazes, a flame burns.

[frvge]

Uh??

He's always meant it as a replacement for the MERC <----------- 's tazer-gadget. You know, the thing that was way overpowered in Pandora Tomorrow.

Of course the Spies wont get a flamethrower... d'oh!

Geez, talkin' 'bout some major misunderstandings here. lolz

[I <3 U]

Y3h fl4m3s w00.

4nd spiez hav fire cum frm theyr sticki camz? to burn teh merc!?

U guys liek my awesum idea?

[Kurbutti]

I can't believe this just keeps going on.

Unless someone can actually argue why the flamethrower needs to replace tazer this thread is pointless.

[frvge]

Different visuals. Stands out more from CT/PT.
