Greetings all,
I've got an idea which could use some feedback.
Its for the Firebug, and it'd be keyed to '2'.
Essentially, its a high powered Flare Gun.
Basically, it'd do the following:
1) Act like the M79, except instead of exploding, just lighting the target on fire.
2) Weigh as much as a pistol, with fewer shots. (15-20?)
3) Stun if fired at the head just about any target (buying time against FPs and Scrakes).
4) Provide utility by lighting up rooms without the need for flashlights.
Others have put out there the idea of Incendiary ammo for the M79, making it like a napalm launcher, which is good, too. However, I like the idea of having a utilitarian sidearm which could buy me more time for my delicious napalm to incinerate big, stompy targets.
Wouldn't be 'too' hard to implement either, just have to give it the same firing animation in flight as the Husk's, and make it look like a bright road flare on the ground. Now the Pyro gets some use again, especially in those dark parts of the map where you normally never, ever go willingly.
Maybe even fire it at the ground in a narrow doorway or hallway and have it constantly light things on fire as they come along over it. Great for casting light, and revealing those sneaky stalkers.
Thoughts?
