    In mc-war 2.0 the flamethrower is supposed to be getting a buff, I think it is supposed to be a damage buff but in this buff will fireballs be returned? I would like to see the return of fireballs to flamethrower since these fireballs where what made flamethrower different from standard weapons.

    I, too, would like to see that, especially because then I can add animation to the texture thereof.

    I never saw it using fireballs. v:
    It would make the weapon more strategic, as it could deflect bullets. However, the damage it can do is more than enough, and unless the update damage is nerfed, it doesn't need any further buffs.
    Congrats on the 11,000th thread v:

    chicken didn't you recently just make the same thread as this?
    Anyways, I don't think the fireballs should return. It made it too OP, and being on fire is distracting enough.

    The problem is, the fireballs can be deflected by bullets.

    It's possible to give entities different textures, isn't it? Just keep the current snowballs and change them, visually, to fireballs.

    No I didn't make a thread like this recently, I don't think it would make it too op, this would just give the flamethrower the unique feel it used to have.

    Snowballs actually make the flamethrower more op than fireballs because you can't knock snowballs back. This does however decrease the range of the flamethrower's effect though. However, when the update comes, I do think they should change it back to fireballs because, according to @joeymast99, flamethrowers can two-shot you in the test server making them really op. If changing them back to fireballs, than atleast the players will stand a small chance against a flamethrower in the update.

    The flamethrower shots used to get deflected by snowballs but the snowballs that deflected the fireballs also got deflected, this was really useful for protecting yourself while trying to capture a flag, this was also super effective against slower firing weapons like iso.

    I didn't realize this used to happen. I guess I always played more WarZ than war, but it sounds really OP for the flamethrower to deflect bullets like that. A lot of people would probably get the flame as their first donor weapon. Although, I do always have the same, dreadful feeling when an ISO bullet heads straight for my face and I don't have enough time to get out of the way.

    This would make flamethrower worth donating for again :V
    but it is balanced by both the fireball and bullet being deflected
