how do you not understand you f-ing jew 8=======D

*sigh* I don't know what this will do to Master Chief. In Halo 2, MC was invurnerable to fire. The UNSC can't downgrade the last available SPARTAN-II's armor. That would just be plain stupid. However... does any body remember that they said in EGM (and maybe other places) that you could have people on fire?? So, it might be that MC's sheild is flammable. Or it is just a stupid theory of mine. The fire is, I am certain, able to destroy the environment. A good example: A person in Valhalla is having fun hiding behind trees and owning people with a Spartan Laser. Guy 1 & 2 get sick of this. Guy 1 picks up the flamethrower and some camo, the other takes a sniper and lies in wait. Guy 1 burns down the tree, does no damage to the enemy, but exposes him. Enemy thinks: this guy is stupid, charges laser while it burns and steps out of cover to kill him. Guy 2 snipes the enemy. Cheering ensues. I'm surprised no one has picked this up. The flamethrower is too heavy for an ordinary Marine to carry. This could be a turret, perhaps? But that is obviously stupid. Weight (loaded): 55.5 kg (122.5 lbs) And, this reminds me of a flamethrower I saw on a Samus Aran vs Master Chief video. Could this be a joke? The incendiary grenade... hrmmm... It can't do any damage, but can blind people. This is vague. And, the fact that the throwing distances don't match up. makes it less believable. I'm not sure this is real. Call me a nit-pick, but it is what I believe. EDIT: Found this very funny in the description: "Flamethrowers are cumbersome and relatively difficult to use (psychologically as well as mechanically)." Yeah, I would definitely go crazy with a flamethrower! :D EDIT 2: At the end of the article, this makes me think it is a 'for fun' weapon. Or, rather, 'toy'. "[1] That the M7057/DP has been frequently pressed into service as a primitive energy weapon of sorts is a distressing but irrefutable fact. It is one in a very small number of items available to UNSC personnel that remotely earmarks the user for a full battery of psychological tests." Also, the Grunts could be hurt by it, in theory. But, If this is a real weapon in Halo, I think it is going to be a multiplayer-exclusive 'weapon'. EDIT 3: Actually, the grenade could possibly hurt MC and Elites. 2200°C is way above a flames top temperature, about 1400 °C. So, it is probable that his can damage people. And note this: "Referring to the M7057/DP as a weapon[1] is a bit of a misnomer as the dee pea in its nomenclature indicate that it is a defoliant projector—to be used to rapidly clear away heavy foliage for [u][i]in-theater[/i] construction projects and to destroy new or persistent growth from emplaced and/or hardened military assets.[/u]" This is most likely refering to Forge. Now [i]that[/i] has me more interested in Forge. I'll bet you they will make Forge look more exciting. Strangest update. [Edited on 08.14.2007 6:36 PM PDT]

ZOMG FUEL THE FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if that stuff will burn the foliage on a map. that would be awesome! [Edited on 08.14.2007 5:12 PM PDT]

081607?

would be nice if those new granades were pasive sticky, what i mean by this is, it acts and behaves like a frag (the way a frag bounces) until it touches a life form or vehical then it will stick to (like the plasma) kind of a hybrid between the frag and plasma granade, maby some spikes pop out of it or somthign so it sticks so its a hybrid between frag and spike granade

OH MY FREAKING GORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is absolutly the best day of my- *dies of Heart attack*

i might say that too, until i shot it at a spartan in a slayer match and nothing happened.... it will be an awesome flood control weapon though..... maybe I'm just glad HDTV's haven't gone as far as generating smells, or the flamethrower would be my least favorite weapon.

I think id probably say " burn baby burn!" when using the flamethrower

i just dont think i can wait another month and eleven days...*and counting* for halo 3 to come out. so, does the grenade instantly kill anyone in its range? thats what i heard. cause that would be soooo fruqin awesome!

sickness!

Ok anyone who says the chief cant be harmed by the flame-thrower is -blam!- stupid! The Chief is a bad-ass, yes, but he is in no way impervious. Anyone who has played legendary can attest to that. And plus, its the -blam!- future, get the flame-throwers of today out of your mind, this thing probably burns at like 3000 degrees, which most definitely would -blam!- murder the chief. sadly:( poor chief.

I was right about the 4th grenade, YAY! O.K. I am very excited to say the least about this info.

*sigh* Halo 3 keeps filling up with more and more crap. What next? A survival knife? T_T

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Groove Regulator what I'm arguing is that it doesn't fit with the halo universe. Fire would not harm Master Chief.[/quote] where'd you get that? if you read the first book, it says the suit has feature to [i] help rugulate[/i] temperature. they never said the shield is impervious to heat. after all, isn't that what makes plasma effective? it burns things. it's certainly not the impact that does the damage. it fits just fine. [Edited on 08.14.2007 9:48 AM PDT]

I never said waste of time. Way to quote me, but then add words I never said. I've used the flamethrower before, and I play Rainbow Six Vegas, so I know how incendiary grenades work. Maybe you should read my post again, what I'm arguing is that it doesn't fit with the halo universe. Fire would not harm Master Chief. [Edited on 08.14.2007 9:36 AM PDT]

i love you guys i really do 1 question is it useable in both single and multiplayer and does that mean we'll get Halo 1 pc and Halo 2 maps to add to the chaos? also i know you guys still have a deck up your sleves lol so please pull that deck out 1 card at a time by that i mean give us more details on other weapons, vehicles and stuff pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease [Edited on 08.14.2007 9:35 AM PDT]

there was a flamethrower in H1 MP, and it was used for combat. BUT, if you read the Observations and Comments on the flamethrower page, it says it's very cumbersome so it probably handle like a detatched turret. It also says “Gotta get too close for it to be any use offensively—if you’re gonna use it as a weapon best to use it in a defensive role—fill up passages and weak-points in your perimeter with fire.” sounds to me like it's more of a deterrent. maybe useful for defending the flag, or the arming spot for the bomb in assault. and maybe if you run right up to someone in close qusrters, it would do significant damage similar to the shotgun which is fairly useless unless right next to someone. on a sidenote, anyone know why i can't download the .mov file for the flamethrower? everytime bungie posts those things, it says "cannot find server" when i try to download them. i never got to see the 3d quicktime movies of the new armor or the brute chopper either. =(

Yeah, that'd be sick n' junk. You know how grunts breathe methane or something? Wouldn't it be sick if fricken... when you shot grunts up with the flamethrower that they would explode?????!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?...!!! Eh????? EH!?!!??!?!?!?!?!!??!?!!? P.s. you know what i just goddamn found out? I was invited into the friends and family public beta.... !!!!!! >:( <----(pissed) So like, what the frick! I had bought good old dumb crackdown to play it and a month later i find out i was invited in anyways, so damn. Man, i HATE Crackdown- i hate it..............................................frick.

yes

Any Ideas on what it will say when someone is killed with a flamethrower, or a Incendiary Grenade? (Just throw some funny ideas out there)

Sweet Setting fire to grunts is fun and all but imagine using the flamethrower against an onslaught of flood combat forms! Watching them burn, shrivel up and pop lol! In fact I have a feeling this weapon is only goanna be in a few select missions in the campaign, like with mission involving the flood. Does the new grenade type act as a flash grenade as well as emit a ‘firebomb’ explosion if say you the player looks directly into the blast? Looks cool though; definitely looking forward to using the flamethrower on the battlefield! edit: I also think form the looks of it, it will be used in third person view like the machine gun and missile turrets to, so you have a better control of were to torch things and also to control the arc of spewing flames better I guess.

Sweet -blam!- bungie hope this adds new demensions to the game.
