#2 or #4

But I'd rather no flame thrower.

[onwee]

Only YOU can prevent forest fires.

Speaking of which, I hope I can catch trees on fire.

Additionally, take the right side from #2 and attach it to the left side of #4 and call it a day.

[Malorn]

I love the smell of nanites in the morning.

[TerminatorUK]

Hmm these are new...I much preferred the ones we saw before with a gas bottle sticking out of the bottom middle pointing towards the ground (or at a slight angle) like a magazine.

Yeah, the other ones did look a little better.

But if I have to choose then I like the look of #2 and #4 the best of the group.

Nothing like the smell of Napalm in the morning.

[Mastachief]

number 2 is my preference

[Baron]

#4

These look like MAX arms, not player weapons.

I'd say expand of 2 and 4. They're not perfect, but the design is better than the other two.

NS Tweeted me (https://twitter.com/#!/NaniteSystems/status/195176931539419136)

Nanite Systems can be outfitted to just about any platform it is up to the buyer to determine its end use.

Therefore I shall be attaching a massive flamethrower to my mosquito and raining firey death on those below.

[ShockNC]

How useful will these things be. Currently, the Dragon in PS1 has little use and you're better off throwing plasma anyway..

[Canaris]

think I agree with most peeps so far, 2 & 4 definitely look the best of those I think my preference is for number 2

[Nobel]

Do you all think I would be correct in assuming that most, if not all of these will be options in game; these are simply the customized, or sidegraded versions of each other?

[Nobel]

Also, am I the only one that thinks the holes in the barrel of a flamethrower might not make any sense at all?

[Kipper]

I assume that too, because if they were looking for people to help them decide on a design, they'd have said "Which of these do you like best?"

Knowing that sidegrades and customisations exist, i'd say thats exactly what these are.

Also, am I the only one that thinks the holes in the barrel of a flamethrower might not make any sense at all?

I don't think the holes in the side of a gun are there for cooling as you might think (but perhaps), I seem to think they're there because it takes out a considerable amount of weight without compromising the integrity of the structure.... its very 1980's though - I'm sure they just use better materials these days.

[Malorn]

What they have in the picture looks more like an air intake near the muzzle rather than barrel fluting or a muzzle brake. I can imagine it sucks in air and mixes with the fuel to to crate a more combustible material since fire needs oxygen.

[Talek Krell]

I think I like 4 the best, if opinions are what they're looking for.

4 looks the most menacing. 2 has a nice sort of technical look to it.


So #4 for me. What is a gun supposed to be if not menacing? :)

[Metalsheep]

How useful will these things be. Currently, the Dragon in PS1 has little use and you're better off throwing plasma anyway..

Have you ever been hit by a Dragons primary fire mode? Even just grazing the fire will almost kill you with the long burn damage unless you start healing immediately. Getting hit by the flames for more than a second or two spells instant death. The dragon is only awkward to use due to Warping players and the slow moving projectile/stream.

You can also use the Dragon on Oshur, its crazy.

Secondary mode is nerfed into uselessness.

On Topic: I like #2 the best.

Pretty sure the last time we chose between flamethrowers it was for an NC version.

For the NS, like most people, I'd go with 4.

[cellinaire]

I wonder,

Are they just customization options or shown for feedback and modification?

[Rozonus]

I highly doubt that these will all be in the game. This is most probably from the early design stages of the weapon when they put a few ideas together, like all the other NS artwork we've seen with a few different variants.

Also, don't think too hard about things like the holes in the barrel, because they will just be there to look cool. PS1 was exactly the same.

[headcrab13]

number 2 is my preference

Ha ha. I get it.
