Been looking for a nice way to torch your enemies? Then the Blaze Gun is the weapon for you. This is a fun weapon to use that will leave trails of crispified bodies.

There are several things that makes this a great modification. First being that the realism of the fire balls. The author decided to use actual models for the fire balls opposed to sprites. This gives a much more realistic appearance. Secondly, the shots are effected by gravity, so no straight shooting. This makes player have to use more tact when firing instead of the normal blasting. Personally, I enjoy how you can watch the flames burn on your target and how if someone/something crosses the path of the burning target, they will catch on fire as well. Nice touch but be warned, this includes you! Luckily, water or acid will extinguish the flames in case you get to close.

The only thing that I didn’t like about this mod was its lack of a new weapon model. It simply uses the original nailgun from Quake and that is a big two thumbs down! If the mod would’ve came with its own weapon model it would’ve scored a 10.

Overall, this is a fun mod to play with and worth the time to check out. Enjoy

An updated version of this mod appears in Carved in Flesh and Autumn Haunting by [Kona]. It is also called the Flame Launcher instead of the Blaze Gun.
