Truth being told, and this comes from my own personal opinion. I highly dislike people using the flamethrower above the water. It's a very cheap and lame way to kill people, and on top of that, it should be impossible. As far as I can see it, this is a hitbox issue within the models and the flamethrowe is able just to reach the player head hitbox while being underwater. I'm suprised that many people are suprised that this kind of thing wouldn't be considered as an "exploit".
Why? I mean, come on. You can't use the flamethrower under the water, so what makes you think you can use it above the water on people under the water? I myself am considering this an "exploit" or a so called "bug" due to the hitbox problems.
Why is valve not doing anything? Have you ever seen the bug thread on the steam forums? There are TONS of bugs that are there for over 5 months that still hasn't been fixed. Do you actually think that valve would fix every single bug and or exploit? They don't seem to see this as high priority, thus they leave it with this.
And let me show you something else when I'm talking about the bug thread anyway:

Quote:When a Pyro is in water while jumping, the flamethrower can shoot into the water. Players hit will take damage. Also, the flames that are hurting you are bubbles… (Hate this bug)
