3ds max 8 is not good for HaloPC cause it changes the amount of vertices when inmporting and exportig.I would do is do this is HaloCE and PMI it into HaloPC.You have way more control about the weapon in HaloCE and in HaloPC 1st and 3rd person is almost impossible.

You can do everything with it in HAloCE(well keep it low poly).Get the weapon ready and tagged and compile it into a map then PMI it into a HaloPC map and replace the flamethrower with it.

Halo PC came out in September 2003. That would mean it has been out for a little over 2 and a half years...
