In one match, there were all these flare users killed them all. :D People like me are sad about the new flare because DLE lied, they said "It will take festive explosions to a whole new level" which is not the case. Also, the new flare is terrible for getting kills more than 5 feet away. I mean the old flare was bad enough long range but this new flare getting long range kills is nearly impossible. With the old flare, getting long range kills was realistic. The old flare is far better than the new flare for a few reasons, auto aim close range is strong which means you can compete with close range questions that randomly appear out of nowhere by targeting quickly, this allows it to more easily compete with close range weapons. Also, ASP armor and Black Hero armor is very rare, the chances of seeing those are the chances of seeing a guy with biker's bandanna and 20% hp. The only real advantage the mk2 has is quicker reload but nearly everything else is worse. For anyone who bought the original flare, the mk2 is no way in hell worth buying. Unless you're a collector.
