ES Style Flamer Alt Attack

In Eternal Silence, the flamethrowers alt attack shot out some kind of flammable liquid that would ignite and keep burning when a flame hit it.

This would be useful in NS2 for taking out structures and laying down defensive walls of flame.

    It's a good idea, flamer gameplay would get a bit more depth and be a bit more fun to play.
    Maybe it should conserve some of your ammo.
    So if you're aware of your surroundings, you could prepare for battle with some liquid and then ignite and heat up the target.
    Or "block off" vents for x amount of time.

    Right now the flamer sets the ground on fire, that might need to be removed if this we're to go in. To differentiate primary and altfire.

    it seems to me that within the past 4 years he's struck it off the drawing board...

    That would be good and would open up nice tactical possibilities.
    But the liquid should not be ignitable forever. Not longer than 60 seconds?

    Also I think structures should take more damage if you spray that liquid on them first before you ignite them.

    Importan question is: Would a fired bullet also ignite it?

    60 seconds is definitly too long, somewhere between 10-30 seconds sounds a bit more reasonable.
