hi guys.

two questions

1- i would like to know why the molotov was removed in version v0.95... it was just to give place to granades or the movotov had some bug or exploit ? i just remember that i got burned a lot, but it was really fun ... i felt like a farmer hunting witches haha

2- and if some day we will see this weapon in game again.

It was made because it unbalanced the game I think, personally I disagree (BLUFOR get scopes and IFV's) but hey ho

it was removed cuz it is glitched....burning through walls and such. it also became an invisible fire as well sometimes

It was removed becoase it killed people people in fireproof vehicles. But I loved that weapon so much, trow that into the window and they will either get on the roof or run out.

Oh and lol I think you could mess thermals with it.

i think it was removed because it was burning through armoured vehicles or something.

this is one reason

the problems in anti vehicle usage was another

balance wasn't the primary issue

will it return? unknown, it would need to be rethought

I thought it was because you were able to teamkill people by causing them to suicide?

Burn through walls. Ability to kill people who were in Wounded state.

The primary reason a molotov even existed was for its AT ability...I dont understand how people can be bitching about that.

Yes, it was effective against the Warrior too, tragically.

I always thought it was removed because it was pretty but also pretty useless.

Question's been answered, see Rudd's post on the previous page. Whether it will appear again or not depends, as he said, on whether or not the issues can be fixed/dealt with somehow.
