It is ironic that {PST}*Joker, of the eXtreme+ CoD2 mod site mycallofduty.com tells us of his new add-on to this great mod: The Flammenwerfer.

For those of you not Teutonically disposed...it's a Flamethrower!

And for those of you watching the nightly news, this is ironic in that Joker hails from smoky California sight of a massive and destructive series of fires that are threatening his state.

The addition of the Flamethrower comes as part of the latest modification to the Call of Duty 2 modification, eXtreme+.

eXtreme+ has now been updatd to version 2.3 by Joker and the crack staff at eXtreme+.  Though not yet released, here is a little preview.
