Although their effects can be cruel and devastating in real life, in the wonderful (safe) world of videogames, flamethrowers are ‘the business’ and always fun to use as an effective clearance tool.

By the looks of a new trailer for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam, this trend of awesome-looking, useful and fun flamethrower use in videogames is set to continue, as this specific weapon is highlighted in fantastic series of action scenes.

Looking great!
