Russ Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 I was playing JK II the other day and made an awesome discovery. You can only use 1 rocket instead of 2 when homing someone. It's simple! Hold down secondary and lock on to the target. When the circle is full, quickly switch back to saber. The target will still be locked. Change to rocket and use primary fire to finish it off. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpTheHotrod Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 not to mention, you can turn the opposite direction and the rocket will still home in on them. (ie, rocket shoots out the launcher, magically turns around, magically shoots right through you not even harming you, and continues to home it's target) but dont tell anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 the problem is, its one exploit which can be made even easier through scripting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Bakker Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 I didn't. Then again, I can't say I've put too much study into the use of the Rocket Launcher. The Force will be with you, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff38 Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Man, where do you guys play? Stand around that long where I play and you will be evaporated. Seems like alot of work to save 1 rocket. But I will try it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good one Rp. Yea and I don't know where you guys play but on the Cardassia server you wouldn't survive even while moving trying to do that.

DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 ermm why not? Its more effective than a regular rocket shot in every way. There is NO disadvantage to doing it, that's why I consider it cheap and don't use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reborn Outcast Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 DeTRiTiC-iQ have you ever played on the Cardassia Server? They have some of the most amazing snipers that play there on that server. Your rocket would be pushed and you would be vaporized in about 3 seconds.

Aoshi Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 actually i play on the cardassia server all the time and whenever i get the chance i always use the trick. the entire point is you have to have your saber bound to a button and the rocket launcher bound to a button. there is no 'standing still' involved. you simply strafe around and hold right click until you get a partial circle then you switch back and forth and left click and blam instant kill. the rockets travel at the same speed as a normal one and are more maneuverable with the added effect of homing = you're dead unless someone pushes it.

DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Oddly enough I haven't played on one of the laggiest servers in my ASE list, I prefer CTF, and on the odd occasion that I play FFA I generally choose the populated server with the lowest ping. Having said that, what has the skill of the enemy at using force push got to do with anything? The first rule of using rockets is to do it from an angle which makes pushing difficult. The idea is that this trick makes the rockets MORE effective against EVERYONE, it may not work everytime against perceptive players, but over the period of a game your frag count is bound to be signficantly higher.

Ah I get it now. But I still don't think I would use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lllKyNeSlll Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I hardly ever use it, I mainly use it 1v1 guns when someone stops to talk and I lock on and then they come out of talking and I shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
