Magnum TOKYO Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Or any troop type w/ a rocket launcher for that matter. I can't stand it when people use the rocket class purposely to go after infantry. Aside from the fact it it suuuupppppeeerrrr cheap, it speaks for the skill of the person using it. You really need a rocket meant for a vehicle to kill one person? Here's to hoping the remove the splash damage from these rockets altogether, that would spread out the cheese a little, no?

Ranre Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I see what you mean, but shouldn't Vanguards be a target if they only have a rocket. It would take a while to load up then fire again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I disagree. The heave weapons class's rocketlauncher already has almost no splash damage. I haven't seen a mass heavy class players either. Besides, after every shot you need to reload and that takes precious time. After the rockets will be made more effective against vehicles, I think the heavy class is a neice balanced class with which should not be tempered anymore.

You pretty much have to hit someone straight on with a rocket to kill them, and the reload time is killer too. You won't hit much if you just point in the general direction of someone and shoot. You actually have to lead targets and aim. Incidentally, I've gotten quite a bit better with the pistol since the rockets run out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_IX Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 haha I love these "honor" players who get on their high-horse and whine that it takes no skill. Limited ammo, ability of infantry to move really fast via rolls and jumps, inability to hit rocket troops, troops on higher ground, and troops at range, the rocket troops have their disadvantages. If the lock-on behavior of the missiles wasn't so bad we could focus on vehicles more. But the seeking is ass. Rocket troops are a viable class... if you want to beat them and think it's too easy, be them. Then you'll see it's not that easy. You just have to keep moving. We can only kill one person before we have to reload. It's not cheese. Don't jump to conclusions. The splash damage is almost ridiculously small. You have to aim very well. I get surprised all the time when people don't die and a rocket hit almost right at their feet. Battlefront doesn't take a boatload of skill to play anyway. It's more arcadeish and purely for fun, with some strategy and tactics thrown in. If anything they should make the normal infantry class better. Less shots to kill someone. And a note about Vanguards... I DESPISE THEM. Their dual-rocket shot is so stupid. You shoot at something and the rockets diverge, going around the target. I much prefer the Imperials and Clones.

The Vanguards can take down vehicles more quickly and are a bit better at closer range fighting because of the dual-rocket shot. But yeah, it's really annoying.

chrishaolin Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I have to agree with everyone that replied.. it seems like you've had your a$s handed to you by vanguard/rocket units a few times.. hehehe. learn the reload times for rocket units for each faction and then learn to strafe and dodge.

Pho3nix Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Ah, it's pretty easy to kill Vanguards/Shock Troopers etc...atleast with a assault trooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagabond Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 LOL - I was going to forcefully reply to the starter of this thread, but after heaving read the replies, there's nothing left to say.

Darth MarcII Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 LOL! This is deja vu. The same debate has occurred in Call of Duty, BF1942, Medal of Honor. Rocketteers going after foot soldiers. I guess the debate will rage on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum TOKYO Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 I was just extremely annoyed that night....I'd say at least a third of the rebel team were vanguards so it got pretty intense...was Rhen Var IIRC .... I know they have their downsides etc etc and I have tried being one....maybe it's just the way I play. I found it a little too easy to kill people being one, hence my response. PS: The lock on is lacking....it can be intermittent at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler_Durden Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 A good trick when a vangard is to aim at the ground next to your target. You have a better chance of killing him then rather than wiming at him with the launcher. It's also an opportunity for a comedic death if you hit just the right area, they go flying fifty feet and roll several times when they come back down. Hilarious.

LukeKatarn Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 You can't hate Van-Gaurd players. I have a friend who is one. Just because the yare good at killing people with roickets does nopt mean they are bad. I am NO rocket launcher because I can never hit, but stop picking on them. They are just like youi exept with rockets. Being a person good with rockets just means they have a VERY high accuracy and are VERY skilled.

Ranre Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yes I completely agree. Even thought it might be frusturating, VanGuards are really good for one purpose, and that is to defend against Veichals. Also to add, the rockets are slow so just dont find yourself up against a wall or your dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeKatarn Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yeah. It is kind of easy to avoid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranre Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yeah. If you were to get hit by a VanGuard/Shock Tropper, you were either off guard (which in war you should never), When a Vanguard is right next to you and toasts you both, or when 100's upon thousands of em' are shooting at you from 20ft away.

LukeKatarn Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Or they are very skilled and aim in the spot where you will be. Honestley, you guys should be congradulating rocket players NOT curseing them. They are some of the most skilled players around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranre Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I completely agree. These guys are just mearly protecting themselves while being some of the most skilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranre Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yeah. They must be the hardest working in the game and yet for their valor people hate them because they are good. Sometimes it just doesnt make sence:confused: .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeKatarn Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yes it's quite sad. I honestley hate the blasted honor code and don't know why people have one in Battlefront. BATTLEFRONT IS WAR! There is no honor. ((Well there is, but people don't have to fight honorabley.)) And haveing rockets means you have alot of Valor because you carrie that slow reloading heavy Rocket Launcher everywhere and people can easily get you. They are easily th most skilled players.

Ranre Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yeah. Most people are trying to find a good hiding spot(which there nothing wrong with that) while the vanguards are up out of the fox hole and fireing down upon the people who are trying to stay safe in the other fox hole.

LukeKatarn Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yeah. If anyoen has played Battlefield 1942, then they would know that even BOTS use rockets on people. I kept on getting killed by BAZOOKAS in that game. There is nothing bad about people killing with rockets because it happens all the time. Just because in Battlefront the bots don't kill people with rockets doesn't mean people can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranre Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yeah. I get killed all the time in 1942 by rocketlaunchers but I know people are just trying to find the easiest way to win. I'm now a bazooka firing dude blowing people to bits lol JK:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
