Efffin idiots

wtf is up with people being dumb and killing you with the rocket when your right behind them,i find that if someone has the rocket and you go to assassinate them they turn around kill you and themselves.

[LoRd StOnEpAw]

Well, if I'm about to die by them, why not take them with me to ensure they don't take my rocket.... :D

Wouldnt you rather kill the person and you die than just you dying :confused: Stormin thinks the same

[ViralMind]

i just think its ****in retarded i mean there are some people who wil turn around and get me with the shotty, but come on now blow yourself up what idiots i take the fact that you take out a person aswell into consideration, but if it took you a while to get your hands on a rocket why kill yourself some might come and jack the rocket up after you die

[BananaMan]

what the hell do you want them to do? stand there and let you melee them to death?

[LoRd StOnEpAw]

It ensures that you at least get a kill out, if he shot you once.. if not then it's a suicide and it'll even out...

After I die, you try to rush back to the spot to retrieve the rocket. The point is that the bastard that attacks you doesn't get away scott free. BTW, I don't really wait for the rocket so that taking a while to get my hands on it doesn't apply.

[ViralMind]

dont let them melee you to death pull out another weapon atleast try and kill em and even if you do get a kill so does the other guy and if he doesnt then its a suicide so it doesnt count.

How did you know? Did I do that to you or something? To me it's obvious.......a 1 to 1 trade (which has a net effect of zero) is better than a 1-0 trade when it comes to the score.

[TOTTEN]

When crap like that happens to me I usually jump up and try to shoot the ground infront of them. Theres a chance that you will die too but its not as high. Dont whine about it though you still get the kill for their stupidity.

[natedog8]

yeah i usually just get as far away as i can then shoot just behind them

I knew that b/c you said it in the post right above me :whistle:

I still don't see where I said it before you said that I said it........ :huh: :confused: :eek:

[Reclaimer]

I think it's stupid when the guy with the rocket decides to attack the one lone guy out in the middle of nowhere with a rocket. Full out game going on with vehicles and what not happening around you and he decides that the guy a third of the way down range with the one SMG in hand is the bigger threat.

Same with the snipers. You know, the guys who just want the kills, who shoot the easy targets out in the middle of nowhere as opposed to doing something challenging like.. say... oh... defending the base or something smart. Limited bullets should mean targets that matter.
Oh well.

first of all, i myself think its cheap as hell when people go and do that...i mean, if its rockets and swords only i understand, but isn't just generally wise to keep another weapon on you as well?

second of all, this "net effect of zero" business doesn't help when u kill urself and u realize the other person had a score of 24 before u killed urself and look...u just lost the game for yourself

for the record, i generally think that n00bs shouldn't be able to use rockets...but thats just me and i don't impose that on u :confused:

[m4oH]

Well today was the first time it happened, I was playing Team SLayer on Beaver Creak and a guy w/ the rocket launcher tried to assinate me. He missed and we got into a close combat fight instead of shooting it and killing both of us like I thought he would, he yelled bloody murder in his mic for one of his teammates to shoot me, he tried bashing me, crouching + uncrouching but never turned his back to me. His teammates ended up doing nothing and I killed him w/ a sing SMG. I guess what Im trying to point out is it prolly is a smarter move to kill you and the guy you are fighter in close combat w/ a rocket launcher. Now my hand hurts, I need a smoothie.

By the time you switch weapons then most likely you are dead. Many times the battle boils down to a difference of a few more bullets fired by one guy. I'm not a noob. If the rocket launcher wasn't supposed to be used it wouldn't be there.

[Whisper]

yesterday i was so proud of my amazing rocket show.. I usually wait for vehicles to explode like Reclaimer says.. but i had a full launcher and saw guys going for the bomb on assault.. it was on Coagulation, I was by the portal where the rocket ammo is.. I saw 3 opposing guys running towards the bomb adjacent to me, all the way over on the ledge.. the bomb was down.. my guys were going for it too, but were much farther away then the baddies

I aimed the rocket at the bomb and shot.. it was a good 8 seconds before the rocket made it to the bomb.. but it was timed nicely.. got a double kill with it, and team mate killed the 3rd getting there a few seconds later..

the team applauded the shot, and I felt happy.

[StudioAlex]

This is stupid. A guy sneaking up on you with a rocket in your hand, all other things being equal, has a clear advantage upon you. He should be able to whittle away your health while your still switching weapons. Because the probability of his success, the wisest tmove is to kill him any way you can, even at the expense of your own life.

[shamigo]

i'm not saying the rocket launcher shouldn't be used...i think its pretty much ur only hope against a skilled driver...wot i'm saying is it kinda defeats the purpose of trying to stay alive if ur just commiting suicide...which kinda brings me to sumtin i wasn't too happy about...whenever u've been shot at and u somehow suicide before being killed by ur opponent, ur opponent gets the kill. This kinda bugs me...i'm gonna start a thread on this lolz...

anyway, rocket launchers just shouldn't be used in close combat if ur just gonna kill urself...wots worked for me before is backing up and shooting...or backing up and jumping and shooting...don't just kill urself!

[No Fear 23]

its called stragety..probably a cheap one..but it works to get the kill.


i do it all the time...when i have the rocket and someone is behind me with a single smg to try to kill me..i would turn around and shoot before i die to take him down with me. i get a kill, he gets a kill to tie the score again, simple as that.

Reclaimer..the sniper is defending the base. snipers prevents them from coming into the base by sniping any enemies they see in sight before they get near the base. if you are protecting the base and there is no sniper helping...theres a chance that the other team is loaded up with rockets, shotguns, all the big weapons, etc., ready to storm your base in a big group.

[Soundscape]

i don't understand why they even put the rocket launcher on maps like beaver creek and ivory tower when there aren't any vehicles available for those maps. it's just way to easy to get kills with ecspecially since the maps are smaller.

[Madhattr]

Ugg why not get rid of the plasma swords while your at it? hell shotgun can kill in one shot get rid of that too. Wait lets not forget dual wielding and snipers! hell why have more then one weapon then its completely fair and there is no tactics.

Quit whining you get the rocket you obviously took the time and the risk to get it. I have ambushed many people with the rocket and it didn't save their sorry ass one bit.

Oh I know the difference. A whole game going on and the sniper is taking shots at guys with zero tactical meaning. People running the other way.. not moving, stupid stuff and letting the actual battles go on including enemies advancing the base.
It's all about the kill count, man. Easier to rack up 25 head shots on people with that are just milling about than it is to assist someone in combat.
Eight shots in your gun, they better be 8 significant targets of value in my books.
Spawn sniping is nothing when half the enemy team is 200 yards and closing on you.

[Duke]

Maybe, but if you're using one sniper to hold down 2 or 3 people, it's absolutely useful.

You're using one of yours to keep 2-3 of theirs at bay. Frees up your teammates to take a numerical advantage on the others.

Also, people running the other way are usually looking to form up w/ their buddies, grab a vehichle, etc. If there is someone to kill, kill them. You might regret not doing it when that ghost that was just around the corner comes hauling ass into you a few seconds later.

[The Jackal]

when i have the rocket and someone is gonna melee me im not gonna risk lettin them get the first shot and take my time to pull out another gun because theres no way youll survive and then theyll have +1 kill on you and your rocket... so of course id rather blow them and myself up... we tie in kills and its -1 rocket for whoever picks it up when youre dead

[Reclaimer]

I guess I'll never articulate what I'm trying to say.

How about this:
You wanted the sniper rifle, stop spawn sniping and actually shoot someone that's moving to the base.

It's like being SWAT or military. They just don't put a sniper up and he's free to shoot anyone at will. He's shooting at the biggest threats first. He's got limited ammo, he's got limited postition until comprimise, he's got limited survivibility time.
Make it work.
