After being cut from ''Combat Evolved'', the flamethrower was redesigned for inclusion in ''[[Halo 2]]'' though [[Cut Halo 2 weapons#Flamethrower|also cut from that game]]. It once again debuted in ''[[Halo 3]]'', this time as one of the newly-added [[Weapon types#Turret weapons|turrets]] in a similar manner to the [[AIE-486H machine gun|Machine Gun Turret]], [[LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod| | After being cut from ''Combat Evolved'', the flamethrower was redesigned for inclusion in ''[[Halo 2]]'' though [[Cut Halo 2 weapons#Flamethrower|also cut from that game]]. It once again debuted in ''[[Halo 3]]'', this time as one of the newly-added [[Weapon types#Turret weapons|turrets]] in a similar manner to the [[AIE-486H machine gun|Machine Gun Turret]], [[LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod|Missle Pod]], and {{Pattern|Pek|plasma cannon}}. Players wielding the weapon move at a slower pace and from a third-person perspective. Moreover, they cannot melee or use any of their [[grenade]]s or [[equipment]]. Unlike the other turret weapons, the flamethrower has no mounted variation, meaning that flamethrower is no longer useful once the fuel has been depleted - however, it operates in a manner similar to energy weapons in that it will overheat if fired for too long. The flamethrower's screen effects are capable of blinding the player in a manner similar to the [[Flare]] equipment. | ||
The weapon appears in the [[campaign]] levels [[Floodgate]] and [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]], both levels featuring the [[Flood]] as primary enemies. This alludes to the weapon's most useful function - clearing swarms of densely-packed enemies such as [[pod infector]]s. [[Flood pure form]]s will die nearly instantly upon lighting on fire, and any pod infectors that run into the flames are immediately killed. Though still highly effective against [[Flood combat form]]s, they still live for some time while on fire. It can also be used to destroy a pile of Combat Forms, so they won't come back if a Pod infector finds them. It is also very handy to handle [[Flood carrier forms]], as lighting it on fire can cause the Pod infectors not to disperse upon death. | The weapon appears in the [[campaign]] levels [[Floodgate]] and [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]], both levels featuring the [[Flood]] as primary enemies.
