New Weapon Class...?

[maul]

FUEL

Weapons that are run on fuel, such as the flamethrower and Chainsaw are found in this class. i think it works well but ultimately thats up to Alex.
So simple yet so complex...

[gazhole]

I do like the idea of a burning mass of zombies...

Itd be useful to have a weapon like the flamethrower that could cover a large area - even though the damage on each individual enemy would be relatively low.

Hopefully it wouldnt create too much smoke, otherwise using it in an enclosed area would be lethal. Theyre bad enough when theyre not obscured by a few foot of smoke :S

Just ... why ?

[maul]

Well I was thinking where you would put the Flamethrower...

Then if you need to you could throw the canisters for the flamethrower on the ground with second fire using the grenade animation. Then shoot it and BAM fiery small explosion.

Ha yeah that would be cool...yet somehow I can't see Alex coding that one up for us.

I'm pretty sure that got busted on Mythbusters

FYI, Flamethrower is a "speed" weapon.

What bullet rupturing canisters? On one of the episodes they tested if shooting a gas tank would make it explode. Well after a few rounds with tracers it exploded. Ok hows this, When you throw the canister and shoot it, it slowly leaks flammable gases. When you use the flamethrower in that area the gases ignite creating a inferno.

How about this.

Use the flamethrower to make burney , instead of throwing around the ammuniton and blasting at it

You strike a tough bargain But ok I agree to your terms, IN return for some party cake.

[Dr. Macon Dead]

Have you learned nothing!?

[[AM]Echo 419]

I don't care! The cake is to alluring to resist!

[Bindal]

and the cake is not a lie.

And here:

to topic: the "fuel" class is just usefull when there are more then one weapon with fuel. The Chainsaw won't return to KF as a buyable weapon (but impossible is nothing)

But... what if... and stay with me, there's a lighter, and THAT requires fuel... so you get the lighter, and you hit the 'put fuel in lighter' key right? And the you get the propane canister, and you can hit like Q and H to pull them both out, but you need to get your knife, so you bind like N to 'put lighter in teeth'. You have to hold the key though, or you drop it. Then you pull the knife and right click to puncture the fuel tank. THEN you just... hold it awhile, using the 'hold canister upside down key' (Z) and let the fuel drain... but ONLY half-way. Then you let go of Z, press the 'set can down' key... which drop weapon can be used because hey, it's not a weapon. YET.

Now you wait, for like a minute or two for the fumes to build up. THEN you take the lighter and left click to light it, exploding the can!

SA-WEET! And running around without eyebrows probably will increase your run speed.

But it will increase your ugliness and in turn raise the weapon prices at the shop (because the shopkeeper now thinks you´re ugly and, hoping you will never come back, makes you pay more money for the same or less quality weapons). Thus players will have to face the difficult decision of burny vs loosing money, making them think about whether burning London is actually worth it.
