My colors might be a little bit off. After I posted those I went to bed and didn't wake up till 14 hours later (lol 3 AM gaming FTL!). So I really can't remember if it is blue or purple. I'm leaning towards purple, however.
Looks purple to me.
Honestly, I'm more depressed than before now. We already have 2 flamers; all we really needed was the color scheme for the plasma redone, and maybe up the damage a little.
And the lava cannon... I made a joke post on the Valcyn forums many months ago that Publish 19 would replace a commando's flamethrower with a weapon called the SuperSoakerXL-Uber or something. Looking at the lava cannon, I seem to have been far closer to the truth than I realized.
Forget these weapons: give me a grenade launcher. Give me a rapid-fire assault weapon that is not an overly-rare loot from a level 92 badguy that lurks at the bottom of a long and mazelike cave. Give me a master level rocket launcher with the old over-the-shoulder-firing animation. Give me a flachette launcher. Give me something that's more fitting for a commando, IRL and in the Star Wars universe.

Here's a small hint for you: TC2 is a DEV CLUSTER SERVER. That means if AOE works there it wont work in live. SOE has admitted already that shtuff works on their tests server sbut not on live for 'some reason'.
Dont get your hopes up.
I like the lava cannon animation though...very realistic looks like the ww2 flamethrowers. The stuff should burn on the ground for like 4 more seconds imo

wow i'm going commando now
just remember, don't do it in anothe man's fatigues.
I like the Lava Cannon but it seems a bit stupid that the animation goes over the top of the target (as in those films - I mean thees one where the creature gets uip close and the lava goes over his head though it still obviousdly hits him.). Maybe its just because the lava is supposed to fire out and then drop down and the animation can't change depending on where the target is?

Yes, the lava cannon overshoots the target about 60-70% of the time i'd say. The only time it seems to actually land right is near its max distance and when the target has a higher elevation or is at a much lower elevation but horizontally n ear to you (Like you on top of a steep cliff and they are at the very bottom, but only maybe 5-10 m awah horizontally.)
Yes, the republic gun is purple. But I think it's because they tried to mix blue with an orange flame effect.
They both look awesome though.
