    Well?


    Of course I know it's napalm but it's not visible in the screen but then when it goes to kill cam I seemingly run into fire (for the lulz like).

    Equally annoying and funny at times.

    Sometimes when in doors and a napalm comes flying over it still gets me, usually only happens on maps with weak structures like firing range, junge...

    It's happened to me plenty of times and it pisses me right off. I accept Napalm will kill me and if it lands right on me I'm fúcked, but there's nothing more irritating than dying to some invisible killer fireball.

    Okay, I thought this was going to be the same thing that happened me a few times the other day, but it appears not.

    I have walked into invisible Nalpalm in the game all right, although that was before I starting using the awesome Flack Jacket Pro perk....... screw you fire and explosions :D

    Anyway, what's happened to me is I just die to some extraordinarily random explosion. It's like getting tubed, but there's no-one around, and worse.... no killcam :confused:

    This happen to anyone?


    PS: This happens while using FlakJacket Pro, so it makes even less sense.

    the napalm mechanics are very broken - it seems to be very random about its damage/onscreen indicators

    to be fair, napalm is a flammable liquid so if you get close to it and touch the liquid on the ground you are pretty much screwed in RL ;)

    no, this has happened me without a barrel in sight. It probably is a noobtube that I didn't spot, but it's weird when it doesn't give you a killcam. Also, neither should be killing me with my Flak Jacket Pro on anyway.

    barrels are the only thing that kill a Flak Jacket in 1 shot without some sort of other explosion i.e. a noobtube hitting a car will kill you. Only thing I can think of tbh, did it say mistakes were made or give someone else a kill?

    Yeah its got me inside buildings, If it lands close to you and your not getting hurt, Its best not to move incase of invisible fire
