Until there's an actual ETA given, don't hold your breath. They say they're fixing them, but they say a lot of things that have yet to materialize, sadly.
It was there in beta, then it has been removed, together with tons of other items for all classes: Icarus Jumpjet for LA, deployable shields and the AV Mana Turret, a lot of different infiltration suites for Infiltrators, the mini-map jamming device and so on.
As they say in the other topic flamethrowers caused many performance problems because of flames lights. And it was too difficult to aim enemies because of the flames
Having used the flamethrowers in beta, it was more like setting off a flashbang in your own face and then trying to kill someone. You lost them after about half a second of turning your entire screen white/orange.
Heh, Evregade, that's funny. I avoided flamethrowers in Beta because I didn't have my PC adequately cooled at the time, but I hope they fix them soon. After tank traction that is.
I enjoyed my dual-flame MAX Did I get a lot of kills? Maybe not. But I got plenty of assists, and the sheer joy of seeing entire rooms clear in a scramble of terror once I turned on my sweet, sweet torches. You all burn the same...
