 ;D I  am pretty good at rockets, but I don't use them much and I would perfer no rockets on a race server. No one likes it when when you are about to when, and then a rocket hits you and you can't find another hog.

But, it is your sever do whatever you want  (!

Just came from the rocket server (#8, I think it is) and it's the same as every time I've gone in - nothing but campers, slayers, and generally the type of negative players who like all-rocket games.   If you want to keep it, I'd suggest having different settings for different maps to balance out the gameplay; chaingun hogs on the more open levels (like Blood Gulch) to balance the ghosts, increased health/shields on more cramped (like Sidewinder) levels cause they're rocketfests, and so on.

I like the old-school weapon set. Pistols, Assault rifle. Pickup a plasma rifle instead of the assault rifle. Dang you got two deadly weapons right there. I have killed people up close with the plasma rifle before they even knew what was happening. Plasma depletes the shield in less than a second if in the hands of someone who knows how to use it. You can either go full pistol, or full Plasma rifle. Or, switch from Plasma rifle to Pistol after shield is drained and they're dead in seconds.

I don't like heavy weapons at all really. I don't really go out of my way in regular weapon set maps to pick up a heavy weapon. Come play CTF with me on our CTF server with heavy weapon set, and I'm sorry but you're gonna hear a bunch of whining from me :P

I hate heavy weapons, you die too quickly and really anyone can shoot one. 2c

I'm definitely more of a tactical sniper than a rocket commando. Far more finesse required with faster results too.

I'm a big fan of the Covie pistol though, more effective than either the Human pistol or the Cov rifle.

 :angel:I believe that servers with only 1 weapon (ie. snipers, rockets) suck. And rockets are a way to get a cheap kill (and in my case a suicide). In the heavy-weapons category i prefer the fuel rod. it isnt allways instant kill and it looks pretty.

Well.... I prefer the modded servers were the snipers shoot tank rounds!  :neckbeard: ;D but I'd prefer a RL for non modded games. Makes a nice THWUMP sound, and almost always ends in the opponents death  :dance:

I said no rockets because they are what I call a "fire and forget weapon" AKA, you fire and then forget it took almost no skill... Rocket hog turrets excluded from that statement as hitting a fast moving hog while in another fast moving hog is a different story all together :P

I used to think Rockets take no skill but I don't really believe that any more. It is true that it is easy for most people to get kills with a rocket launcher, especially in an All Rockets game, but just because a lot of people can get kills without doesn't mean that someone that is skilled with a rocket launcher can't get more kills. People that really know how to use a RL can kill far more people before they get killed by someone who spawns right next to them, and there are plenty of certain *special* shots that only someone that knows how to use a RL well can get kills with.

My point is that while the RL is easy to get kills with, there are also those who have lots of skill using it and are better than most others.
Now for my ultra cool sig...
