Flamethrower ruined the experience

Ive had this game for a while now, but with the recent update bringing in the flamethrower, it completly ruined it for me. Theirs no winning against them, even if you manage to kill one as long as they get in a shot you're dead. It ruins the close quarter combat, since they blind you with flames. I can barely play now, since im always being killed by them.

Does anybody else feel this way?

I will have you know as far as FPS flamers are concerned the Wex is weak. It drops napalm rather than actually "shoots fire" so it's far more short ranged than say the flamethrowers we had at vietnam. It also has a fierce wind up time and you can hit yourself with the flames if you are not careful.

There have been several times where flamethrowers can be taken out if you hit their blindside as the Wex does not really allow for pyro-level fire spam.

Just build a wall, and then make them pay for it. Walls are effective.

you're not an fps gamer buddy, your place is not in the field with those pawns, you're a leader, stick with it ;)

Aww, you poor thing.

People aren't being "always" killed by them. They're actually not very easy weapons to use effectively. It doesn't have long range, takes nearly 2 seconds to start firing, and that often causes the user to be killed before they can even spit fire. Most of the time as Flammenwerfer I find myself using the secondary. It certainly doesn't "ruin" CQC, at least not anymore than your trenchgun does. Just deal with it by shooting the ba$tard before he roasts your a$$.

Wex trouble? I've got a great cure for you.

GRENADES. See flames creeping around a corner? Get a grenade in there. Ambushed by a Wex? Offer up a grenade.

The flamethrower's biggest achilles heel is the extreme visibility. If you can see the buggers spreading jellied gasoline around, you can certainly lob a couple grenades at them.
