the burn mechanism is ruining hunt

[Fluxy]

equal the numbers of chokes with the number of flairs. reduce the speed of burning. stop it!!

[paganSK]

agreed.
40 seconds to save your friend is not enough.
keep that burning speed , but hunter can be set on fire only by molotovs and lanterns

[Dave]

Agreed it gives you near no chance now.

It was literally brought in to combat having to camp a solos burning body from necro, but has basically ruined team play and people "still' choose to camp a body whilst its on fire anyway

Balancing the Crytek way

Lol I think it’s great. If you are 100m from your teammate then you deserve to have your teammate burned out. In actual team play there is no reason a hunter should be able to down your partner, switch weapons, then peek again and flare your partner without you preventing that with a shot and pressure.
Game is wayy better now and was wayy better before all this forgiving crap with bounty revives. It used to be your burned hunter = dead for good and that was way better. At least this is a nice concession where people actually have incentive to chase the bounty when their friends get totaled rather than just extracting, while bringing back that hardcore spirit Hunt has been severely lacking.

I think the burn speed should differ for what starts the burning, firebomb and general big fire stuff should be the fast burn speed, but flares and ♥♥♥♥ shouldn't be fast

Completely agree with this. Flare gun etc should just char off a bar where as full fire burns you away.

Burning with a flare is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

What's killing it is smoothbrains not bringing choke bombs

Different burn speeds would definitely be good

I mean I do take chokes and burning is kind of over tuned in my opinion. On a side note, you have our, gratitude! Such an underrated gem of a movie.

thats how it was .. then crytek tried to "Balance" burns because solos were causing people to cry about camping bodies for 5 mins at a time.. crytek can't balance anything right .. But let me tell you .. the burn rates not ruining the game .. I can point out about 10 other things thats causing its demise .. then I'll add the burn rate mistake as #11

Or, wouldn't it be nice not to have to take chokes and be able to take something more interesting?

Why isn't there a bucket of water in game that you can retrieve and stop a burn? Seems to be plenty of lanterns lying around for no reason, where's the water bucket?

You still have to retrieve it and douse flames, making yourself vulnerable but you do not need a slot.

Flares should not start a burn immediately but give you a timer that if you don't get up you will be slow burnt in 20 secs or whatever, what you gonna do?

Lanterns have like, what, a cup of fuel in them, should not be as fast a burn as a molly for instance.

[Amos Moses]

Just make it so there are 2 burn speeds:
On fire. Which is the old speed or maybe slower, where the hunter is just sizzling.
And engulfed. Which is the current speed or faster, where the hunter has to be actively covered in fire.
Let's players still start hunters on fire easily, but you have to wait and gives stuff like fire bomb value for burning hunters out quick.

[Newbie4life!!!]

Agreed, old burn speed was too slow and new burn speed is too fast...an inbetween would've been nice
