Is the rocket launcher worth using?

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 12:17 am

I know it has a good blast radius for crach site and other obj's (I'v only played crach so far) but whenever I shoot it within 10 feet Im expieriencing this weired glitch where it just dissapears. Sometimes I shoot it at my feet as to kill me and the guy im in CQC with and nothing happens. IDK if its just that my game is buggy or if that's a real thing. I'd almost rather equips a grenade instead.

It is very good when combined with a shotgun to get those long range shots, and yes the rocket does does explode at close range, this prevents people from doing what you were trying to do which is a really stupid and annoying move, so yes use it at long range only, also it can take down Ceph Airships faster, grenades can't take down a Ceph Airship lol....

Two direct hit's with JAW take gunship so good to have people with JAW's in team. Also JAW is perfect for shooting people at long distance, multi kills, and you can correct trajectory if u need. Also JAW is great for "ninja attacks from above" in mid range :D Basically when someone run behind cover and you can't hit him standing on the ground, then jump on some building or object, power jump into air and blast his ass from above. Those hit & run attacks are great and in most cases enemy even don't know from where did you come and what even happened until he watch kill cam xD
Honestly, even sniper with JAW can make some good hell, i did use JAW many times while sniping in lighthouse. Sometimes enemy get close to your location and start to spray&pray at your loc. so you just grab JAW and wipe him. Why JAW not sniper rifle for mid range rambos? Because at mid range trying to aim for fast kill makes you vulnerable to being hit by random head shoots, and JAW don't really req. any aiming xD

You can also get a road rage kill when a unexploded JAW missile hits a player and killing him.

Too people that think that the rocket launcher is bugged and does not work at close range:

The Jointed Anti-Tank weapons has a intelligent Rocket propelled grenade which does not explode if the user of the weapon is withing the casualty radius

same goes for the L-Tag grenades

Think about it, in real life ,shooting a rocket near yourself to kill and enemy and die or be severely harmed is stupid

Are there Nanosuits in real life? Or Ceph? Nope. So why not shoot a rocket near yourself?
(I agree that it's stupid, though. But I also agree that a suicide and a kill is better than a death)

Eeach player have only one rocket per spawn, so i am talking about situation when more that one person shoot Gunship, but as you can see someone said that you can one shoot it if you aim in proper place ;)
At some point being killed in this game is so easy that you will find yourself killed after skooting JAW into gunship and if you miss or miss vital gunship point, then just zerg gunship after respawn with another JAW xD
Even if you die once in process you still gain 300pt for GS, save some teammates and even make your team a winner ;)
