Does anybody else want a Warthog or vehicle that has a flamethrower turret so that we may burn our enemies to a crisp?!
I know this would be especially epic in firefight.
Yeah I could see this happening.
official seal of approval
As long it has useful range and doesn’t cause frame rate doom, sure.
I’m in.
sounds good but it definetly would need alot of fine tooning to make it balanced,also someone should make a thread talking about what they want as vehicles in halo 4 and we could add this
Achievement unlocked : great idea
this is the definition of win.

as long as the Flamethrower isin’t an upgraded Shotgun, i’m fine
think, flamethrowers in RL can spew flames up to 20 feet
the flamer in H3 can spew flames up to 5 feet…
i see a problem in this picture
Probably won’t work thanks to flamer’s short ranges. Firebomb launchers with toned down damage, maybe, but not flamethrowers.
This would be great if the flame thrower shot out a fine line of super heated plasma that would make the enemies spontaneously combust on impact, but the turret had slow rates of fire, but as a supplement it had splash damage, the closer you are to outside of the explosion the less damage you will receive and visa-versa.
But just so that it is not so over powered, it would be possible to try and take out he flames by rapidly pressing the “B” button to try and extinguish the flames, the faster you press the more effective it is.
But because your wasting time trying to get rid of the flames it leaves doors open for other people to come and try and pick you off, but if you don’t tend to the flames immediately, it would mean certain death. So the weapon is balanced out nicely.
Also if you do manage get rid of the flames it will have seriously weakened you, and that would be so that the turret still had an effect on the player.
There’s a map in Halo Custom Edition which actually has a Flamethrower variant of the Warthog. It was a small-medium sized map, which made the Flamethrower Warthog a great asset to have, yet tough to use due to to amount of cover there was.
The range was pretty decent, and as you can imagine it completely destroyed infantry. It would be so nice to see a Warthog like this in Halo 4, although its role (and more) of anti-infantry is already being covered by the Chaingun Warthog, which has more range and the ability to hurt vehicles. Of course, the Flamethrower Warthog could disable an enemy vehicle (by killing the driver) without damaging the vehicle itself too too much.
I can’t see it working. It would have a range double that of a shotgun for it to make sense. I’d think a turret that shot incendiary grenades would be better.

Yeah, the range would have to perfect and a little distant. But I think this would really be perfect for defense against close quarters areas.
like a revenant but fire instead of plasma?
or for range, a grenade shooter that when lands, explodes in flames.
But so far flamethrowers kill really slow. EG the halo 3 flamethrower. If its faster then yeah it could work, but if its like Halo 3 slow then prob not.
For it to work it would probably need to be a type of napalm launcher, firing a spray of liquid fire over an area that sticks and burns an area for a couple seconds. A driver would probably need to avoid driving into air born spray as well since it could probably kill the occupants of the vehicle.
Mey Gerd…
How come nobody else thought of this?
But yeah, needs longer range and a pretty quick overheat. Other than that, FRICKIN AWESOME!!
