Although the flamethrower is given as a bonus and is not a normal weapon, I really believe that it needs to have a real reload time. This wouldn't be of much relevance if you could kill 4 people without reloading, so I also think the ammo avaliable should be only half of what it is now. It's kind of unfair that it just goes and goes and goes and goes without end or pause. I have two alternative, but more complicated solutions:
-Put a motion restriction on any player with a flamer
-Make the flamer temporary: when the Flame God powerup is lost, so is the weapon (former weapon should be regained)

Let me know on what you think about this. The flamers have really been bugging me... =/

I am not sure how long you have played Soldat, but this is the previous setting for the flamer, the fact that you can keep it has made some players (that I know, and includes me as well) very happy.
A reload may help, but it is a powerup, so I don't think it should have any disadvantages, really, unless other bonuses gained some kind of disadvatage (crazy personal opinion, I know).
For the prolonged reload, I support. Otherwise, I do not, sorry.

well...... the flamethrower, IMO, is not actually that good. It's incredibly low range, very low damage, very high ricochet... I have never killed anyone with it and the only good part of flamegod to me is the invincibility.

The flamer is fine. hell if it only gave me the flamer for 10 seconds again and reverted back, then i might as well stand still for that time.

besides the guy with the flamer is usally the main target of everyone.

I'd like it if i could actually throw away my Flamethrower then pick up another gun (when i throw it, it disappears)

it disapears so the flamer doesn't last on the map forever.

A.K.A

I kill someone who is holding a flamer, i pick it up, i use, someone kills me when im holding a flamer.

almost like a loop.

I pity the person who abandons his current weapon -- one which stands a chance of actually killing someone -- for the flame thrower.

Really, I'd like to see the flame thrower made a primary over one of the autos with some damage added to it since it'd help diversify the weapons. As a bonus item, it stinks.

I was stating a point if the flame thrower didn't disearper, not a suggestion.

Yes, I know. It was a joke.

i agree with mr.domino....i would rather have the flamer as a primary thatn a power up, cause IMO it sucks right now. Get rid of the Minigun, and use the flamer!

LOL! MINIGUN GOD!

i like it, an instant reload of a minigun XD

T-Bone · « **Reply #11 on:** July 11, 2006, 12:02:44 pm »

If the flamer was made a primary, it cold get beefed up a little, and have a reload put on it. Mr.Domino was saying this would add diversity, and its not like the flamer is an outlandish weapon, They were used in combat. I dont know if it owuld be minigun god lol, maybe something different. But i vote Flamer for Primary!

Twistkill · « **Reply #12 on:** July 11, 2006, 01:29:43 pm »

I say yes, becasue the flamer as a bonus is only worth it for the 10 second invincibility. Other than that, it's not good as an actual weapon, so it should be made a primary and boosted a little.

On a less serious note, the invinicibilty can be funny. Go into the enemy base, get their flag, and walk out calmly while everyone is shooting at you. XD

More to the point, watch all the sniper noobs hit you 3 times before casting a vote for hax.

Then, you cast a vote on them being so nooby and don't know a thing about flamer. then they get voted out.

Valorman · « **Reply #14 on:** July 11, 2006, 05:07:34 pm »

Its agreed. the flamer will be a primary!

yay!

then whats the bonus...?

brother in arms · « **Reply #16 on:** July 11, 2006, 06:25:45 pm »

I think that it should stay the same way since it is a weapon that you get from a "box" and it may be hard to get in the first place. (I think the flamer is rubbish)

Cato269 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 11, 2006, 07:09:04 pm »

hey, a tazer could be the bonus! *zap* !
