Games With Realistic (Non-Propane) Flamethrowers?
« on: June 29, 2011, 04:45:13 pm »

Pretty much every game (maybe every game) I've ever played involving flamethrowers has made them act like guns, shooting out a line but it's fire instead of bullets.

Now, look at this. Does that look like that? I don't think so.

So, anyone know of any games that replicate flamethrowers in any decent way?

There is a flamethrower weapon in Tremulous (tremulous.net). It seems reasonably  realistic to me. I works because its a limited range weapon, but the opponents you're fighting (aliens) have close range attacks only (mostly).

The most realistic flamethrower i've seen (bear in mind that i didn't see too many) was in Enemy Territory : Wolfenstein. It wasn't a gun, it threw flames.

Gearhead 2 has shotguns that can be loaded with incendiary rounds, which cause a cone of death in front of you. You can also load autoshotguns with said rounds, which causes about 5 cones of death in front of you per turn. Given that its an ascii roguelike, I doubt its what you had in mind.
