I think that the flamethrowers flame should be wider. whenever you fire at someone they have to be in the middle of the little flame to do damage.

And I think the Flamethrower should work like it does in other games such as Return to Castle Wolfenstein.(Say. . .flames bouncing off walls instead of going through them.) However, that would require far more work than anyone at Blackhand Studios would be willing to do. IE, redoing a small chunk of the original source code.

More to the point, they should have a longer range, as a real flame thrower literally throws a jet of flame...

Longer AND wider would be nice, but the doggone HUD in Renny doesn't support different reticles for each weapon. I'd like to see a system like Halo's (each weapon in Halo has it's own unique reticle).

BattleField2 also offers different reticles for each weapon, it would be nice to be able to have a more / less accurate reticle for different weapons...but its not exactly essential...

If custom scopes can be applied, why not custom reticles? Have each weapon summon up its own overlayed reticle.

I didnt say it was not possible, I just said it was not something that urgently needs doing, unless someone has too much time on their hands Rocked Over

i dont think it would take as much work as you say... there is an ammo property in the objects.ddb that allows for an ammo to bounce of objects. I do not know anbout its cosmetic apperance, it may still look like it was going through the wall, but physically it would bounce off the walls and floors up to the number of times stated in the ammo properties.
