Flamethrowers

Postby Conscious* » Tue Dec 23, 2003 10:33 pm

I have noticed this quite a while but lately its gotten worse and really pissing me....

Flamethrowers do not accurately give the amount of damage they should, and there are glitches all around the map that cause increased range and power to them. If you notice when you run straight at a flamer while hes pumping out as much as he can it takes very little damage, but if your on the end of the flame for 1 or 2 seconds you die very quickly. The glitches are:

In war room through the rail that lines the room, if you flame through it the flamethrower seems to almost instantly kill you, and you can't see flame coming through.

In war room flaming through the steel cage window increases the range both side to side and the flamethrower seeems to shoot further out, and makes it feel like more damage is being done.

After your killed with the flamethrower, if you conitinue to hold the fire button, the flame still shoots out for roughly 2 seconds longer and seems to be even more powerful then when you were alive.

Has anyone else noticed this, because lately more and more people are flaming through the steel cage in the war room and its nearly impossible to escape it and keep yourself alive.

i wasnt the one who said you should banned that would be slaughter, im just calling you a smacktard for posting that in here. It doesn't really help you at all but you made it sound like it was a wonderful easy to use wall hack. I didn't realize that it wasn't a wall hack until i tried it but you sure made it sound like it was a cvar cheat.

This is a pretty lame thread :tard: .


:violin:

Its part of the game, and I doubt flames do more damage on certain parts of the map.

i know for sure they do, ive tested it. They fixed a flamethrower glitch in the 1.4 update, but theres still more. There were a lot gltiches in the original game. If you held down b for binoculars and threw a grenade, you could throw as many as you want without ever getting an ammo pack. You could just sit in the ducts with bonocs on and throw 1 grenade after another without it taking a toll on how many you have on your inventory. There's still glitches with the flamethrower.

I'm kinda slow with some things...the flaming experience being one of them. I've only just realized in the past few weeks if I run straight at a flamer I hardly take any damage. I don't know about map-related glitches, but certainly you take less damage if you run right into the flamer. I dunno... I rarely go to the wr.... anywhere else on the map they are the easiest guy to take out... next being the ven of course.

Yea. I have run straight at them using sprint and actually poisoned them at the top of the stairs. You die but it is funny watching them squirm with the poison with no medic around.
