I think Unreal Tournament did a nice flame effect - I just don''t know how they did it...

Go into the Unreal editor and load some of the animation that they use... you can get a very good look at how they did the barrel flashes etc, by watching those animations frame by frame. It''s basically a lot of cleverly placed textured quads.
