Flamethrowers in RO2 after release of RisingStorm?!

[Capt.Cool]

We know that Flamethrowers will be in the expansion Rising Storm:

The question is: will they now be included in the regular RO2 game, too?


Wilsonam told me the devs thought about adding them in the RO2 inventory.
They canceled it because of coding/balance/resources problems.
Now that they are included in RS these problems are gone. If they work in RS, they should work in RO2!


any official comment to this issue?

I would love the flamethrower in RO2, especially in maps like Univermag and Red October.

If that underground sewer map is released, they would be perfect for it.

Would presumably need a new model, but seeing as there are no reload animations, sight adjustment mechanics, or reload check animations, this would perhaps be an easier weapon to mod than most.

Russian nomenclature: Ranzew

I'm sure someone is going to make a reskin and put it on the workshop

I would love the flamethrower in RO2, especially in maps like Apartments and Otrpy3ka.

There I fixed it

unlike the mkb it actually was used in stalingrad in large numbers, and in the right hands it would be much more dangerous than some silly assault rifle.

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN!

flamers and mortars would be a nice addition.


mortars a much better inclusion than the currenty ARTY.

How dare you dis the glorious RO2 Artillery!

Knee mortars would be nice in RO2 though, I agree on that.

Wolfenstein Enemy Territory had mortar as one weapon class. Not that many excelled on it but those who did, it usually ended up to spamming the same spot or spawn killing.

Thus it would need really good map desing, some kind of spawn protection and only one slot for that weapon etc. But really good idea... think about some huge and intense rainforest map with hills, where visibily is almost at zero. Almost like in RO1 Kurland Kessel, but with random mortar fire there and there.

What do you mean just kidding? A scope would be a great way to get a better view of the poor bugger you're barbecuing. And who doesn't want a bayonet that's also on fire? At the worst, you can stick smokies on the end of it, and with the squeeze of the trigger, PRESTO! Cooked smokies.

I would love to see a flamethrower in the game.

 

[Destraex]

This feature alone if it makes it in would be reason for people all over the world to get the game.

Remember the scene in the movie stalingrad (the german one not the hollywood one) where they used flamethrowers in the sewers?

 

[M55ikael]

I'm pretty sure you would have to count on third party modders to get this done. Adding new weapons and game modes to carefully balanced games is seldom done by the devs unless it is in conjunction with a major dlc release or expansion pack.

Elite Engineer class. 'nuff said.

Yep.

 

[Baine]

Would need cool death animations, like rolling on ground in fire.


And pls no bandage fire away.

they had it in the later versions of darkest hour too. Same problem as you described, spamming area denial while effective tactically was a largely thankless job score-wise so you had to spam chokepoints or spawns to get kills
