Well... if you make the flamethrower more powerful, the Non-CP2 users won't have those powers. Thus, making the game unbalanced.

The flametrower, and some other weapons in renegade are total crap. But changing something like that in an un official patch is the same as having a cheat.

The power of weapons can be changed serverside (objects.ddb)

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

I was under the impression the difference in damage was intentional.

I think the GDI does more damage but has a slower rate of fire...
Balanceing itself out.

The GDI has less firepower actually.

They both have the same rate of fire. it's the GDI rifle that does about 40% more than the Nod one, so you could say it did 1.4 times Nod's...the Nod rifle should be improved period, as should the flamethrower, because Nod's trashed when they've lost their hand and tanks are rolling around destroying everything..if this can be changed serverside then server owners should do it promptly.

Hey! Let's just make Nod's units exactly like GDI's! Hmm...maybe make them have different names?

Hey, maybe not...there's a reason why the damages are how they are...

The reason is that the game sucks.

Flamethrowers and Grenadiers should have been purchasable characters that actually did some worthy damage, like they do in Renegade Alert.

Flamethrowers and grenadiers are good enough if you can use them.
Three or four flamethrowers will own a sniper, as all the flames going off will lag the sniper like hell. Same applies to other infantry.

Could you explain to me why that is (For the Auto-Rifles anyways)

It seems the NOD rifle does not fire faster, maybe its the NOD sniper rifle that does, any matter.

Hum, I kill tons of People with Grenadiers, but I agree for Flamethrowers. I think the Grenadier is the best free GDI unit.

Well I was reading some articles in EGM and PC World about it and GDI is supposed to focus more on offense while NOD is defensive.A lot of you probally knew that,but whatever...

But why should you need three or four against one man. Apart fom that, the reason they should kill him is because their flames drain his health fast and burn him to a crisp....not because the weapons make the game lag and play a detriment to his computer performance. that should never be a reason to purchase a character.

Flamethrowers suck, but they CAN be good. Yesterday I destroyed 2 hotwires with one flamethrower because they couldn't really dodge my flames and their c4 explosives either missed or did minimal damage to my flamethrower armour.

This is true but if I am not mistaken the Officer chain guns for both GDI and Nod do the same rate of fire and same damage amount. My point is if both side's have the same unit then they should have equal fire power. Dont you think so?
