Erm, Excuse Me, But How Flammable Are You?
I'm rather short of fuel you see, because I need to keep some to burn all my books since the O-Levels are over. OVER!!! FREEDOM!!!
I'm sorry, I just finished playing Pyro on TF2 and Call Of Duty : World At War, where flamethrowers and setting people on fire are the main attractions, and some people don't burn as easy as others.
Buoyed by an easy final Chemistry MCQ paper, our merry band set off to LAN/buy new games, LAN being the first time I've been able to play COD4 without 200+ ping, and it showed. 500+ kills, everyone else was barely hitting 400.
The flamethrower in COD : World At War is NUTS! Wide spread, insta-kill, and it relies on a cooldown time rather than ammo, so effectively its got unlimited ammo and no reload time. Now I know why the even the Japanese suiciders surrendered when the Marines had them. I'd have done just about anything for a flamethrower in COD4, especially in Charlie Don't Surf. Which reminds me, why is it flamethrowers are out of style now? No one seems to be using them.
Enemies in COD : World At War are also less grenade-happy then their COD4 counter parts, and its the fire WW2 game where you can reload the M1 Garand even with bullets still inside it.
And then on to TF2. Now, my computer is venerable old dinosaur that has served me well, running COD4 and Doom 3 without too many problems, but it might have reached its expiry date with TF2. For some reason, it restarts itself in the middle of a game for no reason every couple of hours or so, and at times, will lag even with what, 19 ping?
A Medic ubered me at one point when I lagged. When the lag went away, I was waiting to be respawned along with an angry Medic. Yeah.
As a Pyro though, the burn damage after you set fire to someone often kills classes with low health, so half my kamikaze rushes do bear fruit, unless its another Pyro, who are fire-resistance (Asbestoses-lined suit lol?), so I need to remember who burns well, hence the title.
