What the hell do you not understand?


Making it in a arc will perform the SAME THING as the shooting it straight out. Look at it this way:


Hog = >
Flame = Line

(too lazy to [ninja] the dots.)

UH OH
DIRECT HIT
WEAPON DESTROYED.

ummm whatever that means ^^


but if it arc'd "over" the hog, then youd still have to go through the descending flames to move forward

Wait why exactly are we discussing how or how not a flame hog which shoots flames in an arc would hit the hog or not?

I thought this thread was about a Halo 2 mod or something........

It is. It's the little things that can drive you away from the main purpose of the thread. That's how a good conversation between people goes.

and to hit anything infront of the hog you'd aim up and over the hog.

aiming parralel to the hog, the flames spread out and hit you (even if it is just a little). aiming over, the flames still get there but they don't come close enough to you to hurt.

you're still talking like plasma would be affected by atmospheric conditions the same exact way as plasma. The word plasma is used for a lot of different things even here in the real world, you have no idea how it would be affected by friction or wind, and the velocity of a vehicle is sure as hell going to have an affect on the trajectory of something fired from it. Not to mention in The Arbiter the banshee is flying through the atmosphere of a gas giant.

And I doubt you beat it.

If you're having it fire over the hog, you could drastically increase the range, so that blobs land well away from the warthog's immediate area. (You'd probably have to tweak damage and whatnot, of course, to keep it balanced)

A flame hog would only work effectively on flat ground. If there are small hills then the flames would engulf the hog.

Hmm... Perhaps make the flames longer? That way, the flames would fly over the driver's head and in front of the hog, killing anything the driver was about to splatter (Heh heh), but not hurting the passenger or driver.

Please dont get this locked, I am looking forward to this mod alot.
