The '''M7057/Defoliant Projector''',{{Ref/Book|Id=PCManual|[[Halo: Combat Evolved Manual#Human Weapon Additions|Halo: Combat Evolved for PC Manual]]|Page=13}}{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} more commonly known as the '''M7057 flamethrower''', is an [[incendiary weapon]] used primarily against battlefield fortifications, protected emplacements and installations, and for demoralization purposes. It is a variation of the [[NA4 flamethrower|NA4/Defoliant Projector]].{{Ref/Reuse|vis}}


The '''M7057/Defoliant Projector'''<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3flamethrower</ref>, more commonly known as the '''M7057 Flamethrower''', is a [[UNSC]] heavy ground [[weapon]].  
The M7057 has a number of nicknames among UNSC forces including '''DP''', '''Toaster''', '''Dragon''', '''Torch''', and '''Flamer'''.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}


==Design Details==
==Overview==
The M7057/DP, is a standard chemical flamethrower, which projects and ignites a stream of a volatile, semi-liquid fuel.
===Design details===
Flamethrowers, are cumbersome and relatively difficult to tactically employ. It originally appeared in the [[multiplayer]] of ''[[Halo PC]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'', and in several levels of ''Halo 3'''s campaign ([[Floodgate]] and [[Cortana (Level)|Cortana]]). Referring to the M7057/DP as a weapon is a bit of a misnomer as the "DP" in its nomenclature indicate that it is a 'Defoliant Projector' — to be used to rapidly clear away heavy foliage for in-theater construction projects and to destroy new or persistent growth from emplacements and/or hardened military assets. It is normally used with a cart, instead of being carried.

[[File:HTMCC-H3ODST FlamethrowerOverheats.jpg|thumb|240px|The flamethrower overheating after prolonged use.]]
The M7057 flamethrower is a standard chemical flamethrower, which projects and ignites a stream of a volatile, semi-liquid adhesive{{Ref/Reuse|PCManual}} known as Pyrosene-V. Like the M6634, the M7057 flamethrower is cumbersome and relatively difficult to tactically use (psychologically as well as mechanically).{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} In its role as a ''defoliant projector'', it is designed to be used to rapidly clear away heavy foliage for in-theater construction projects and to destroy new or persistent growth from emplaced and/or hardened military assets.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} For example, in [[2553]], [[Hala]] was able to use an M7057 unassisted to torch a {{Class|Sahara|heavy prowler}}.{{Ref/Comic|HLW|Issue=2}} Despite being all but obsolete militarily its effectiveness as a psychological weapon is undeniable—unfortunately, the psychological effect is a double-edged sword.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}


The ''Halo 3'' version of the M7057/DP varies slightly from its first appearance in ''Halo PC'', being roughly two times heavier (with about twice as much fuel) with a shorter and wider nozzle (which means a shorter but wider, deadlier spray); however, both Flamethrowers, still retain the similar shark decal, despite these changes. The Flamethrower is extremely powerful in ''Halo 3'', and can kill its target, such as a [[Warthog]], in less than three seconds before it overheats.<ref>http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24150.html</ref>
The psychological impact of employing an M7057 makes it one in a very small number of items available to UNSC personnel that remotely earmarks the user for a full battery of psychological tests.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} Due to the weapon's massive size and weight, it is usually deployed with a cart on which to transport it.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} As such, UNSC [[Hellbringers]] can only use the flamethrower with the assistance of a [[powered exoskeleton]].{{Ref/YouTube|A04ZmY2UHgU|jungle_penguins|Halo Wars 2: UNSC Hellbringer All Quotes|Time=39|Quote=I feel like a tank in this thing! Does your exo chafe?

[[Image:Halo-3-20070810044503823.jpg|left|thumb|245px| The Flamethrower as seen in ''[[Halo 3]]''.]]


It is the second [[Human]] weapon that overheats, with the first being the [[Spartan Laser]]. It has a built in failsafe system that stops the weapon firing when it reaches a certain temperature. If the weapon is fired while overheated, it would melt or explode, and the heat and the flames would harm the user. In ''Halo PC'', the Flamethrower overheats if used non-stop when depleting 40% of the fuel.  
===Variants===
*'''M705 Incendiary Jet Tool''': Nicknamed the ''I-JeT'', the M705 is a compact, vacuum-suitable variant of the M7057 fed by a tank-pack full of self-oxidizing fuel.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS10|HSS|Chapter=10}}
*'''Cryosprayer''': The cryosprayer is an experimental weapon design based on the M7057 created by [[Serina]], the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] for {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. During the ship's long voyage following the [[Battle of Trove]], Serina began to pursue [[cryonics]] research initially pioneered by professor [[Ellen Anders]], and left the design templates for use by the CBRN specialists of the ship's Hellbringer complement.{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Cryotrooper}}

In ''Halo 3'', the M7057/Defoliant Projector is in the [[Support Weapons]] category, like the [[Missile Pod]] and [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun]], meaning wielders use the weapon in a third-person perspective and move at a slower movement rate, and must drop the weapon to [[melee]] and cannot use [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|Grenades]] or [[Equipment]], with the exception of [[Invincibility]] and cloaking in [[Campaign]]. This feature does not apply to [[Halo PC|''Halo PC'']].
==UNSC remarks==
[[File:HW2 - Hellbringer.png|thumb|250px|A Hellbringer wielding an M7057.]]
The weapon was one of many featured in [[Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present]]. Several Marines of [[E2-BAG/1/7]] were interviewed by Doctor [[Robert McLees (ship designer)|Robert McLees]], and had the following to say about the weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}

===Advantages===
==In-game information==
[[Image:Burn.jpg|thumb|right|An example of the Flamethrower's ignition on a player.]]
===''Halo: Combat Evolved''===
In both ''[[Halo PC]]''  and ''[[Halo 3]]'', the Flamethrower is very powerful, laying waste to any opponent in close quarters, and can be used strategically to put flame in front of entry ways as a denial of entry, or to shoot it while running backwards around a corner (giving you the ability to damage them but denying them a direct line of sight to damage you. However, the ''Halo 3'' version sports a larger fuel supply, unlike its ''Halo PC'' counterpart.
The flamethrower was first introduced in the ''Halo'' games with the [[Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|PC release]] of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', after being cut from the original [[Xbox]] release of the game. As with the other PC port exclusive content (the [[M12A1 Rocket Warthog]] and the {{Pattern|Zasqi|fuel rod gun}}), it is included in the ''Combat Evolved'' multiplayer component of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.


The Flamethrower is one of the deadliest close combat weapons in the game, besides the [[Energy Sword]] and [[Gravity Hammer]], for once its deadly fluid gets on to you, it is over in a matter of seconds and there is nothing you can do about it. Though in rare cases, if a player walks through a [[Bubble shield|Bubble Shield]] or a plasma shield, like on [[Snowbound]] or [[Epitaph]], the game engine will ignore the damage and the player will survive (with low shields). The Flamethrower can also be used as a psychological weapon, as it tends to strike fear into the enemy.
Due to the weapon's history, it can only be used in [[multiplayer]], and appears as a default spawn on several multiplayer maps. It can be equipped and used in first-person view as with all other weapons in the game, and supports the player throwing grenades with it equipped or using it to [[melee]]. The weapon's range is similar to the shotgun, which is only effective at close-quarters. When fired within range, the flamethrower deals lethal damage to unshielded opponents. Against shielded opponents, it will remove their shields and apply a substantial amount of damage to the opponent's health.


===Disadvantages===
Through use of the ''[[Halo Editing Kit]]'' for ''[[Halo Custom Edition]]'' and ''The Master Chief Collection'', [[Flood combat form]]s are able to wield the flamethrower. The only way to observe this is to play start a "Heavy Slayer" game on a map that spawns Combat forms. The Combat form will hold it upwards, making the weapon useless in their hands since the fire will go upwards without hurting anyone in front of the form. The reason why the flamethrower is compatible with Combat forms is because the flamethrower was supposed to appear in the level Keyes, and Bungie programmed Combat forms to be able to carry it in order to grant the player easier accessibility. The player was then to use an acquired flamethrower to burn Captain Keys' skull from the [[Proto-Gravemind]] in order to retrieve his neural implants.{{Ref/Book|Id=AoH|AoH|Page=140}}
In ''[[Halo PC]]'', the Flamethrower's reload rate is very slow, making the player vulnerable to all sorts of damage. Additionally, the Flamethrower, along with its fuel supply, is very rare, and respawns at a very slow rate. The Flamethrower is also incapable of doing ranged attacks; therefore, while using this weapon in combat, your movement options are limited. It also flouts a powerless range ability, which can ‘‘clearly’’ be seen from afar, making you a target for snipers or sharpshooters.


In ''[[Halo 3]]'', like with all support weapons, you cannot refuel the Flamethrower, and you move slower and cannot melee. You also cannot throw grenades or use equipment without having to drop it first. Enemies can just walk towards you in flame-clad armor, causing you to take damage. The Flamethrower is only a threat in confined space; in open spaces, it's very hard to directly harm your opponent, and your opponent will keep firing until the flames consume its victim into a blazing inferno.
In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the flamethrower shares the same [[:File:Halo-SniperRifle-Reticule.png|reticule]] with the [[Shotgun]] and the [[Sniper Rifle]]. In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the reticule for the flamethrower in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' has been updated to match the flamethrower reticule from ''Halo 3''.


===Influences===
===''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST''===
The Defoliant Projector was inspired by a similar flamethrower from the ''[[Marathon]]'' series. The Defoliant Projector's number, 7057, is a alpha-numeric call-back to the weapon from Marathon's name, the TOZT which means TOST in leet speak.
[[File:Flamingpureform.jpg|thumb|The Flamethrower can easily kill Pure Forms.]]
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 shark-like decal on it is borrowed from the WWII fighter plane model Curtis P-40, which had the tiger-shark decal, painted on it by the Flying Tigers (American Volunteer Group).
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.


==Tactics==
Even though UNSC Marines claim that their comrades wield the flamethrower, the player can not give it to them in game. The only time when a Marine is seen wielding one is in the level Floodgate; it is seen being used inside the factory, (the spot where any surviving Marines hold position) holding it like Master Chief. One needs to be in [[Theater]] mode or playing on a lower difficulty to see the Marine holding it, because he dies in a few seconds.
===Campaign Tactics===
[[Image:Flamingpureform.jpg|thumb|The Flamethrower can easily burn Pure Forms.]]
With the Flamethrower's campaign introduction in ''[[Halo 3]]'', it has become one of the best anti-[[Flood]] weapons. The hardest type of Flood to fight, the [[Flood Pure Forms]], will die nearly instantly, upon lighting on fire, and destroy any [[Infection Form]]s that run over the flames. Though still highly effective against Flood [[Combat Forms]], they still live for some time while on fire, which can produce some awkward moments of avoiding their charging, flaming bodies.


A good attribute is that it can begin killing multiple combat forms at once, with the ones on fire possibly lighting other ones on fire. Once they die, their bodies are consumed by the fire and will not be able to be resurrected by [[Flood Infection Form]]s. In fact, any Infection form that runs towards the body will also be consumed by flame. It can also be used to destroy a pile of Combat Forms, so they won't come back if an Infection Form finds them.
In [[multiplayer]], the flamethrower only appears on the map [[Construct]] by default, situated at the bottom of the map. It is one of two weapons capable of granting an [[Incineration]] medal when used (the other being the [[Orgudam Workshop firebomb|Firebomb Grenade]]), and is also capable of easily granting a [[Kill from the Grave]] medal.


===Multiplayer Tactics===
The weapon reappears in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', and works identically to its ''Halo 3'' counterpart. It appears only on the level [[Data Hive]], and can be useful in clearing out swarms of [[Yanme'e|Drones]] while traversing the hive. If fired at [[Quick to Adjust|Vergil]], it will immediately kill the [[Huragok|Engineer]] regardless of difficulty - resulting in a mission fail. The flamethrower cannot be used in [[Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight]] with default settings or in the original [[Xbox 360]] release. However, the updated [[Floodfight]] mode and custom settings in the game's ''Master Chief Collection'' port does allow for this.
[[Image:Flamethrower.jpg|thumb|right|The Flamethrower on Snowbound.]]
In ''Halo PC'', it is available in every multiplayer map, but in small numbers. In ''Halo 3'', the Flamethrower, by [[Matchmaking|matchmaking]] default, only appears on the map, [[Construct (Level)|Construct]].


The Flamethrower is best used in close quarters combat. The trail of flame can act as a temporary smokescreen to blind snipers with. It is especially effective if used to retreat by running backwards away from an enemy to leave a trail of flame, deterring would-be pursuers from giving chase to a wall of fire, use caution because the Flamethrower's damage is reduced when running backwards. It is effective as a denial of area weapon, you can set fire to doorways or flags to discourage anyone from crossing that area, and damaging those that do (possibly even catching on fire and killing unshielded opponents).
In ''Halo 3: ODST'', there is one [[Achievements (Halo 3: ODST)|achievement]] that can be unlocked with the flamethrower.

As a Slayer weapon, it is recommended to use it to surprise people entering enclosed spaces, as it is very lethal up close. You can shoot the flames around a corner as you run backwards around a corner, and any opponents who choose to take the risk of pursuing them will be roasted by flames but unable to get a line of sight to get you themselves.
==Production notes==
[[File:H2 Flamethrower FP 2.png|thumb|250px|Using the Flamethrower in the [[Halo 2 beta|''Halo 2'' beta]].]]
{{Main|Cut Halo: Combat Evolved weapons|Cut Halo 2 weapons}}
The flamethrower has a storied history as cut content in the ''Halo'' games. The weapon is one of many originally designed for inclusion in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', and went through a number of design iterations in this time.


Sometimes, players even wait near some strategic points, with [[Active Camouflage]] and a Flamethrower, for example they may wait at the point at which players land after flying out of a [[Man Cannon]] and burn the helpless victims.
In the cutscene of the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' level ''[[Keyes (level)|Keyes]]'', where the Master Chief retrieves [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]]' neural implants, the Master Chief was meant to burn Keyes' [[skull]] out of the [[Proto-Gravemind]] and retrieve the implants. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the Flamethrower was removed. [[Lorraine McLees]] was the one who actually had to texture the whole "burnt" skull and she added that she had done her job so well that "the skull was so gruesome no one could look at it."{{Ref/Reuse|AoH}}


Most types of equipment can often be used to your advantage when escaping the flames, like deploying a [[Radar Jammer]] (although it is now not available in matchmaking) to confuse the enemy if he/she can't exactly see you due to the continuous flames, and since you'll be moving about, the enemy can't exactly identify you from the "fake" red dots on his/her radar. Deploying a [[Power Drain]] will cause the wielder of the Flamethrower to cease fire temporary to avoid having their shields to be drained if smart enough, however, if the wielder continues to fire they risk being drained of shields and be prone being killed by stray weaponry fire.
The weapon was redesigned for inclusion in ''[[Halo 2]]'', and was even featured in the game's [[Halo 2 beta|beta stages]] alongside a [[Covenant]] counterpart - the [[Cut Halo 2 weapons#Disintegrator|Disintegrator]].{{Ref/Twitter|Id=H2BWeapons|vengeful_vadam|1262137145399091201|The Vengeful 'Vadam|Quote=In the Halo 2 Beta, there were two cut weapons: -The Flamethrower, which would be repurposed to become the Halo 3 Flamethrower -The Disintegrator, a Covenant counterpart to the Flamethrower.|D=08|M=9|Y=2021}} However, the design was reused for an art piece included in the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'' gallery, depicting [[Maria-062]] holding the weapon.


==Halo Wars==
The M7057 was later modelled by [[:Category:Images by Gene Kohler|Gene Kohler]] for inclusion in ''[[Halo Wars]]'' as a weapon for use by the [[Hellbringers]]. However, the weapon was cut and replaced by the [[NA4 flamethrower]] for unknown reasons.
[[image:Burningcritters.jpg|thumb|160px|right|[[Hellbringers]] carry NA4 Flamethrowers to deploy into combat.]]
<gallery>
{{Main|Hellbringers|NA4 Flamethrower}}
File:XHW - unscunit.jpg|The M7057 model created for ''Halo Wars''.
 
</gallery>
A special taskforce of [[Marines]] called [[Hellbringers]] are equipped with the [[NA4 Flamethrower]], an upgraded (and larger) version of the [[M7057/Defoliant Projector]], along with protective flame resistant armor and a fuel tank on their back to provide them with a large supply of fuel.
 
===Tactics In Halo Wars===
The weapon is incredibly potent against [[Covenant]] infantry units at short range, being capable of torching large amounts of units, though chances are, against [[vehicles]] and long range units, they will have little effect. There is also a chance the [[Marines]] carrying them can be blown up, thanks to enemy fire hitting the fuel tanks. Also, it will probably make units who wield it much slower and exposed to enemy fire. They are also unable to hit air units, making them quite useless against anything that's not main infantry, which also due to the fact that they only come in pairs, make them very easy to take out.
 
Similar to the M7057/Defoliant Projector's role in ''Halo 3'', the Hellbringers are very effective against the [[Flood]], but requires assistant from powerful vehicles to prevent [[infection]].
 
==[[UNSC]] Remarks==
*"Foxtrots die pretty quick once you put the fire to 'em. We oughta burn 'em all. Low-life bastards. Burn all those low-life [[Covenant|Alien]] [[Flood|Foxtrots]]."
*"Gotta get too close for it to be any use offensively — if you're gonna use it as a weapon best to use it in a defensive role—fill up passages and weak-points in your perimeter with fire."
*"Makes short work of weeds and thickets — but I wouldn't carry one into combat. Not on your life."
*"I can see where it would be real effective in ousting dug in troops, but you aren't gonna be making any friends using it that way."
*"I don't see why carrying around a big can of super-flammable stuff right next to my ass is such a good idea."
*"You know those things ship with a cart, right? You aren't expected to carry them anywhere… they are not a weapon that you use on people… not even on alien people."
*"It takes a real lunatic to use a Flamethrower…"


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Strangely, even though [[UNSC]] remarks claim that their comrades wield the Flamethrower, you can't give it to them in game. This may be due to game-balance issues. The only time when a Marine is seen wielding one ever is at the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level [[Floodgate]], it is seen being used inside the factory, (the spot where your surviving [[Marines]] hold position) holding it like [[Master Chief]]. You need to be in camera mode to see the Marine holding it, because he dies in a few seconds.

*The [[Destinypedia:Dragon's Breath|Dragon's Breath]] rocket launcher from Bungie's ''Destiny'' series uses a similar muzzle aesthetic as well as the real-world XM42 flamethrower Gen 3.
*Although the Flamethrower is good against Flood [[Pure Form]]s, but Combat Forms will remain on fire for about a minute before dying, often burning away at the player's shields.
*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', when a Spartan wields a flamethrower, he flips back a cover to expose a button. Next to the button is the character 下 or 'xia' (meaning "down" in Chinese).
*In ''Halo 3'', the Flamethrower can be used to easily achieve a [[Death from the Grave Medal]] or an [[Incineration Medal]]. If you simply hit an enemy with enough sustained fire, it will kill them. If you have already hit an enemy with the flamethrower when you die, they will die via flame damage seconds later.
* In ''Halo 3'', shortly after firing a flamethrower, a bright flash will partially blind you which comes from the flames.
* You can give a Flamethrower to Sergeant Johnson in the ''Halo 3'', level Halo, by killing him, taking his Spartan Laser, and leaving a Flamethrower next to him.
*Both the Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 3 Flamethrowers have a similar 'dragon' decal, with flames sprouting from its nostrils.

"It takes a real lunatic to use a flamethrower..."
— Anonymous E2-BAG/1/7 serviceman

The M7057/Defoliant Projector,[6][3][4][5] more commonly known as the M7057 flamethrower, is an incendiary weapon used primarily against battlefield fortifications, protected emplacements and installations, and for demoralization purposes. It is a variation of the NA4/Defoliant Projector.[1]

The M7057 has a number of nicknames among UNSC forces including DP, Toaster, Dragon, Torch, and Flamer.[4][5]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

"I tell 'ya, these things sure beat the old NA4 models!"
— Anonymous Hellbringer discussing his M7057 during the Second Ark Conflict.[7]

The M7057 flamethrower is a standard chemical flamethrower, which projects and ignites a stream of a volatile, semi-liquid adhesive[6] known as Pyrosene-V. Like the M6634, the M7057 flamethrower is cumbersome and relatively difficult to tactically use (psychologically as well as mechanically).[3] In its role as a defoliant projector, it is designed to be used to rapidly clear away heavy foliage for in-theater construction projects and to destroy new or persistent growth from emplaced and/or hardened military assets.[3] For example, in 2553, Hala was able to use an M7057 unassisted to torch a Sahara-class heavy prowler.[8] Despite being all but obsolete militarily its effectiveness as a psychological weapon is undeniable—unfortunately, the psychological effect is a double-edged sword.[3]

The psychological impact of employing an M7057 makes it one in a very small number of items available to UNSC personnel that remotely earmarks the user for a full battery of psychological tests.[3] Due to the weapon's massive size and weight, it is usually deployed with a cart on which to transport it.[3] As such, UNSC Hellbringers can only use the flamethrower with the assistance of a powered exoskeleton.[9] During the Second Ark Conflict, two M7057s were fitted onto a specialised customised Cyclops employed by Lieutenant Colonel Morgan Kinsano as heavy weapons.[10]

Variants[edit]

  • M705 Incendiary Jet Tool: Nicknamed the I-JeT, the M705 is a compact, vacuum-suitable variant of the M7057 fed by a tank-pack full of self-oxidizing fuel.[11]
  • Cryosprayer: The cryosprayer is an experimental weapon design based on the M7057 created by Serina, the AI for UNSC Spirit of Fire. During the ship's long voyage following the Battle of Trove, Serina began to pursue cryonics research initially pioneered by professor Ellen Anders, and left the design templates for use by the CBRN specialists of the ship's Hellbringer complement.[12]
  • A UNSC Cryo Trooper wielding what appears to be an M7057, modified to shoot their cryo munitions.

UNSC remarks[edit]

The weapon was one of many featured in Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present. Several Marines of E2-BAG/1/7 were interviewed by Doctor Robert McLees, and had the following to say about the weapon.[3]

  • "Foxtrots die pretty quick once you put the fire to 'em. We oughta burn 'em all. Low-life bastards. Burn all those low-life Alien Foxtrots."[3]
  • "Gotta get too close for it to be any use offensively — if you're gonna use it as a weapon best to use it in a defensive role—fill up passages and weak-points in your perimeter with fire."[3]
  • "Makes short work of weeds and thickets — but I wouldn't carry one into combat. Not on your life."[3]
  • "I can see where it would be real effective in ousting dug in troops, but you aren't gonna be making any friends using it that way."[3]
  • "I don't see why carrying around a big can of super-flammable stuff right next to my ass is such a good idea."[3]
  • "You know those things ship with a cart, right? You aren't expected to carry them anywhere… they are not a weapon that you use on people...not even on alien people."[3]
  • "It takes a real lunatic to use a Flamethrower..."[3]

In-game information[edit]

Halo: Combat Evolved[edit]

The flamethrower was first introduced in the Halo games with the PC release of Halo: Combat Evolved, after being cut from the original Xbox release of the game. As with the other PC port exclusive content (the M12A1 Rocket Warthog and the Zasqi-pattern fuel rod gun), it is included in the Combat Evolved multiplayer component of Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

Due to the weapon's history, it can only be used in multiplayer, and appears as a default spawn on several multiplayer maps. It can be equipped and used in first-person view as with all other weapons in the game, and supports the player throwing grenades with it equipped or using it to melee. The weapon's range is similar to the shotgun, which is only effective at close-quarters. When fired within range, the flamethrower deals lethal damage to unshielded opponents. Against shielded opponents, it will remove their shields and apply a substantial amount of damage to the opponent's health.

Through use of the Halo Editing Kit for Halo Custom Edition and The Master Chief Collection, Flood combat forms are able to wield the flamethrower. The only way to observe this is to play start a "Heavy Slayer" game on a map that spawns Combat forms. The Combat form will hold it upwards, making the weapon useless in their hands since the fire will go upwards without hurting anyone in front of the form. The reason why the flamethrower is compatible with Combat forms is because the flamethrower was supposed to appear in the level Keyes, and Bungie programmed Combat forms to be able to carry it in order to grant the player easier accessibility. The player was then to use an acquired flamethrower to burn Captain Keys' skull from the Proto-Gravemind in order to retrieve his neural implants.[13]

In Halo: Combat Evolved, the flamethrower shares the same reticule with the Shotgun and the Sniper Rifle. In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the reticule for the flamethrower in Halo: Combat Evolved has been updated to match the flamethrower reticule from Halo 3.

Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST[edit]

The Flamethrower can easily kill Pure Forms.

After being cut from Combat Evolved, the flamethrower was redesigned for inclusion in Halo 2 though also cut from that game. It once again debuted in Halo 3, this time as one of the newly-added turrets in a similar manner to the Machine Gun Turret, Missle Pod, and Pek-pattern 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 grenades 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, 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 infectors. Flood pure forms 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 forms, 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.

Even though UNSC Marines claim that their comrades wield the flamethrower, the player can not give it to them in game. The only time when a Marine is seen wielding one is in the level Floodgate; it is seen being used inside the factory, (the spot where any surviving Marines hold position) holding it like Master Chief. One needs to be in Theater mode or playing on a lower difficulty to see the Marine holding it, because he dies in a few seconds.

In multiplayer, the flamethrower only appears on the map Construct by default, situated at the bottom of the map. It is one of two weapons capable of granting an Incineration medal when used (the other being the Firebomb Grenade), and is also capable of easily granting a Kill from the Grave medal.

The weapon reappears in Halo 3: ODST, and works identically to its Halo 3 counterpart. It appears only on the level Data Hive, and can be useful in clearing out swarms of Drones while traversing the hive. If fired at Vergil, it will immediately kill the Engineer regardless of difficulty - resulting in a mission fail. The flamethrower cannot be used in Firefight with default settings or in the original Xbox 360 release. However, the updated Floodfight mode and custom settings in the game's Master Chief Collection port does allow for this.

In Halo 3: ODST, there is one achievement that can be unlocked with the flamethrower.

Production notes[edit]

Main articles: Cut Halo: Combat Evolved weapons, Cut Halo 2 weapons

The flamethrower has a storied history as cut content in the Halo games. The weapon is one of many originally designed for inclusion in Halo: Combat Evolved, and went through a number of design iterations in this time.

In the cutscene of the Halo: Combat Evolved level Keyes, where the Master Chief retrieves Captain Jacob Keyes' neural implants, the Master Chief was meant to burn Keyes' skull out of the Proto-Gravemind and retrieve the implants. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the Flamethrower was removed. Lorraine McLees was the one who actually had to texture the whole "burnt" skull and she added that she had done her job so well that "the skull was so gruesome no one could look at it."[13]

The weapon was redesigned for inclusion in Halo 2, and was even featured in the game's beta stages alongside a Covenant counterpart - the Disintegrator.[14] However, the design was reused for an art piece included in the Halo Graphic Novel gallery, depicting Maria-062 holding the weapon.

The M7057 was later modelled by Gene Kohler for inclusion in Halo Wars as a weapon for use by the Hellbringers. However, the weapon was cut and replaced by the NA4 flamethrower for unknown reasons.

Trivia[edit]

References[edit]

  • The Defoliant Projector was inspired by a similar flamethrower from the Marathon series. The Defoliant Projector's number, 7057, is an alpha-numeric call-back to the weapon from Marathon's name, the TOZT which means toast in leetspeak.
  • The shark-like decal on its heat shroud is borrowed from the American Curtiss P-40 Warhawk made famous by the Flying Tigers (American Volunteer Group) during the Second World War. Aircraft of the 23rd Fighter Group, the Flying Tiger's modern-day successor, continue the use of the shark teeth decoration.
  • The Dragon's Breath rocket launcher from Bungie's Destiny series uses a similar muzzle aesthetic as well as the real-world XM42 flamethrower Gen 3.
  • In Halo: Combat Evolved, when a Spartan wields a flamethrower, he flips back a cover to expose a button. Next to the button is the character 下 or 'xia' (meaning "down" in Chinese).

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The original Bungie reveal for the flamethrower referenced its length as being 116.8cm (46in) - this inconsistency has only included in one other source: the 2009 Halo Encyclopedia. The Encyclopedia's 2011 reprint changed the length stat to the one displayed on this page - something which has been consistently used since.
