    The flamethrower is probably the second most underpowered (to me) donor gun in the game, leading with LAW as most underpowered. I wanted to just suggest a creative buff for flamethrower. The flamethrower seems like a gun that could work at short range & long range. I was thinking since the wiki shows that the flamethrower has the same accuracy aimed and hip, for there to be TWO firing options. One for close range and one for long range. Like twisting a nozzle at the tip for accuracy and power. I'll put the specs here. Please put your own suggestions below THANKS!

    SHORT RANGE: (Left Click)

    RPM: 400
    Damage: 10 upon impact, then 40 fire damage after 1.5 seconds?
    Ammo Usage: 1 fireball per shot
    Accuracy: 4.0
    Knockback: .15

    LONG RANGE: (Right Click)

    RPM: 250
    Damage: 20 upon impact, then 50 damage after 5-6 seconds?
    Ammo Usage: 1 fireball per shot
    Accuracy: .3
    Knockback: 0.0

    Left click is broken because of aiming and it is hard to tell when you are using it.
    -1.
    I'd rather have a damage or RoF buff.

    -1 really? It is a valve switch, and I asked for suggestions NOT COMPLAINTS from people who just run around of forums and hate on ideas that PEOPLE create

    I already explained my opinion regarding a change of damage instead.

    I'm not sure different firing modes would be a good idea, besides the flamethrower was first introduced during the first world war. So this kind of thing is to futuristic really.

    Yeah m8, did you see the HaloOutPost map? :stuck_out_tongue:

    Anyhow I don't really think this buff really fits the flamethrower, I agree with what @Credo007lv said, a damage buff would be better.

    Flamethrower is used to troll people. If there is a buff, more complaints and rage. -1

    Well the flamethrower since then still as the same concept: you burn and kill.

    True, but I meant almost anything isn't too futuristic for War. CoD has many weapons and equipment considered futuristic (Ray-gun, Paralyzer, exo-suit, etc).

    The flamethrower is the MOST annoying donator weapon. Each donator weapon has their own special thing.

    Ray Gun: Splash damage and good from above
    Flamethrower: Burning people and annoying the crud out of them
    LAW: Explosions. Lots of them (Ammo)
    Crossbow: Sticking explosions. Once you are hit you are dead
    MiniGun: Fast fire rate

    I honestly don't think it needs a buff
