POLL: Rocket power

[DroiD]

well in my opinion the rocket is pushed out of the game a bit.(except on ballistic)

PROS:
specific game mode
very powerful (maybe a bit too much)

CONS:
very powerful (it can be a pro and a con)
40 odd secs to respawn when picked up, and normal weapons are only 20
damage splash too big for a small looking weapon
the burn damage it has doesnt make any sense


The rocket is a good weapon for spammers and ppl that like satisfying their ego

I'd say "leave it as it is". It doesn't spawn often and therefore makes it important to watch that part of the map. If it spawns, you have to be quick and even then it is still possible to be defeated. The fact that it's so hard to get balances the weapon out pretty well in my opinion. I do not consider it overpowered nor underpowered in its current state due to the long respawn times for it.

Rocket is the Red Eclipse Quad damage. Leave as is. It's to good to see "Rocket is for me" runs. Making it a standard gun would break this

damage splash too big for a small looking weapon

This is design (gameplay define design, design must not define gameplay)
Make me think of this, can be a fun factor : http://youtu.be/fTqxFIpc1j4?t=34s

the burn damage it has doesnt make any sense

It's not always 1 hit kill, fire let you a (small) luck to survive if you find water. It is smart gameplay mechanic for me

[DroiD]

yeh but the rocket isnt a fireball
if u want ppl burning to death remove the rocket

Shh... maybe it's a rocket with an incendiary warhead?

I put leave as is. I've never had or seen a problem with the Rocket. Infact, the Rocket is the one reason we don't need vehicles in this game lol. It alone is a game changer in the right hands. The rocket is the last weapon that needs fixing. Long reload times balances it out because it is way powerful. I sort of like the power it has, even though it looks so small. Great design for it. I recall a phrase "Packs a punch"..if you don't get it, the rocket attaches to your fist, and when it shoots it hits really hard, hence 'the punch'.

Nothing wrong with the rocket. It's perfectly fine how it is. It's a one-use weapon in arena and regular DM, so the spawns seem longer for the weapon. (maybe they are o_o) It's supposed to be powerful, because it's a rocket launcher. It only fires once, and you need to be accurate with it. It doesn't have a gigantic splash, either. It's supposed to be a powerful weapon. It's a rare weapon that you have to either get used to the timing of it's spawn to get, or just get lucky; and when you do, it rewards you with the chance to make a quick big points if you happen to land a triple. It can be a game changer. It's how it's supposed to function. Think of it like a superweapon in Command & Conquer. Hard to get, but a damn good asset to have. Except in this case, you get it once.

The rocket should, in no way shape or form, be modified at all. It's perfectly balanced. I'm having trouble seeing where you find fault in this.

Rocket always seemed good to me as well. I love using it as a "vengeance tool" when someone has been beating my ass
