Nerfing flame weapons then releasing a war bond with only flame weapons has to be the worst marketing move ever.
Even if the nerfing is totally fine, the messaging is awful, hey we just made this stuff worse come buy it from us now.
It's not marketing that they fail, it's communication. They should tell ahead of time which weapons are on their watch list, so it doesn't seem like it falls from nowhere.
I'm convinced the conversation went something like this:
"Hey we made these primary and secondary weapons that are mini flamethrowers, they don't shoot as far but they're still pretty cool, right?!"
"Cool, so you can kill a Charger with your pistol now?"
"Oh shit... Guess we'll just nerf all fire damage then and say we're doing it for 'realisim'."
"Sounds good, Chief."
Yeah, i think thats exactly what happened.
Let us kill chargers for gods sake, its not like they don't put 12 of them out at the same time now.... they are not exactly rare
