Rename the Flamer
« on: June 12, 2007, 10:59:40 pm »
The special "Flame God" power-up weapon is currently called "Flamer".  I have a simple suggestion to change it to "Flamethrower".  It makes the weapon seem more realistic and it sounds better.  Any thoughts, comments, ideas, suggestions?

Meh. Why even bother when the two words basically are synonyms... and in my personal opinion flamer sounds a lot better than flamethrower. Probably because I'm used to it, but still meh.

(Oh, and wrong section.)

flamer is so much cooler than boring "flame thrower." Keep the flamer, way better.

Well, as for being synonyms, the gun and a person who's flamboyantly homosexual actually are synonyms... I always thought it was kinda strange that everyone in the forums called it the Flamer. I just never looked at the name, truthfully.

Come to think of it, maybe I'll look around for topics about how the gun seems really useless in 1.4... If not, maybe start one.

Flamer sounds more Soldat-ish, like Barret. Why change?

Even if it's changed to the name flamethrower.  People are still always going call it flamer, simply because it's easier to say.

It makes sense to why they would call it Flamer.  Since it was denied, I'll request a moderator to lock the thread.

Not meaning insult, but why do you make posts like that (the one right above)? :P It's just so obvious and completely unnecessary, lol. Anyways, locked upon request
