M7057 flamethrower: Difference between revisions

Line 72:

Sometimes, players even wait near some strategic points, with [[active camouflage]] and a flamethrower, for example they may wait at the point at which players land after flying out of a [[man cannon]] and burn the helpless victims. Or sometimes they can hide at one side of a door and when a player runs out, they can burn the unsuspecting player to ashes.

Most types of equipment can often be used to your advantage when escaping the flames, like deploying a [[radar jammer]] (although it is now not available in matchmaking) to confuse the enemy if ~~he/she~~ can't exactly see you due to the continuous flames, and since you'll be moving about, the enemy can't exactly identify you from the “fake” red dots on his/her radar. Deploying a [[power drain]] will cause the wielder of the Flamethrower to cease fire temporary to avoid having their shields to be drained if smart enough, however, if the wielder continues to fire they risk being drained of shields and made an easy target to any enemy players in the vicinity.

==UNSC remarks==

Line 103:

*Strangely, even though UNSC Marines claim that their comrades wield the flamethrower, the player can not give it to them in game. This may be due to game balance issues. The only time when a Marine is seen wielding one ever is at the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level ''[[Floodgate]]'', it is seen being used inside the factory, (the spot where any surviving Marines hold position) holding it like Master Chief. One needs to be in Theater mode or playing on a lower difficulty to see the Marine holding it, because he dies in a few seconds.

*In ''Halo 3'', the flamethrower still works underwater. However the flames must have already clumped to something and spraying into the water will have no effect. Strangely, in ''[[Avalanche (level)|Avalanche]]'' and ''[[Snowbound (level)|Snowbound]]'', if one fires at the snow it will burn as if it is ground.

*In ''Halo 3'', the flamethrower can be used to easily achieve a [[Death from the Grave Medal]] or an [[Incineration Medal]]. If the player simply hit an enemy with enough sustained fire, it will kill them. If the player has already hit an enemy with the flamethrower when ~~he/she~~ dies, they will die via flame damage seconds later.

*In ''Halo 3: ODST'', the flamethrower and the [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|Assault Rifle]] are the only weapons that appeared in campaign but not in [[Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight]].

*In ''Halo 3: ODST'' level ''[[Data Hive]]'', players who kill 10 Covenant troops with the flamethrower are rewarded by the "[[I Like Fire]]" [[achievement]].
