one thing the flamethrower can do that the grenade launcher cannot do is blind the living fuck out of the enemy
same goes for the chem sprayer


not to mention lag if you don't have a good computer


The road I cruise is a bitch now, baby.

Grenadier, keep long distance and hit him with the grenade launcher. If he's in range, use the pistol. But try keeping long distance, that way you won't risk damage and you're as free to do as a western company dumping toxic waste in Somalia.

The "blinding flamethrower" works great on some players. Many people who still play Renegade do so, because their PC is shit, and the Flamethrower is actually a wonderful lagtastic weapon.
But, it is also true, that even though it can be annoying that you have a face full of flames, its not much harder to kill that spraying nub. ^_^


very true, flamers, chems, and tib sydney fuck me over

or just grab the pistol and rape the shit out of the flamer who has a noticeable bigger head. WHO WOULD WIN TIB SYDNEY OR CHEM TROOPER?

grenade launcher is the only weapon capable of indirect attack, according to westwood.

Then there's of course the MRLS (and stank, to a degree) though those are vehicles, so I guess they don't count.

But yeah, basically in the right circumstances, you can kill someone without the enemy ever getting a glimpse of you when you use indirect attack. Of course, highly unlikely in Renegade.

Anyway, the only + sides I see with flamethrower are these:
-blocking enemy view with flames (5-6 flame throwers can block it pretty well, tbh)
-having increased armor against splash damage (can run into proxies without getting killed as easily, tanks have a bit harder time killing them)

I'd still pick the grenadier any day. Grenades pwn buildings that much faster & from distance.

The flamethrower can also imitate a flame tank (if it's out of view) !!!

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

One's not very effective at that, but two work wonders. Very Happy

I prefer the Grenadier almost any day of the week as they kick shittons more ass. Hell, I prefer them to the rocket soldiers because they're free, do about as much damage, and tend to be more effective to me.

Not to say they're OMG BETTER THAN HAVOC LOL but compared to a flamethrower, they're usually more effective.

Although, flamethrower rushes can be fun early game on canyon or other tightly cramped tunnel maps.
