So the blast radius allows for a decent margin of error then. Because it would be very difficult to get a direct hit on a target you can't see.

Actually if it works on a laser like Half life we could spank you behind cover. Launcher rocket high above said cover, as it passes said cover quickly move laser onto the cover. Angle of attack will do the rest.

Wasn't one of the first PS2 images a TR in Rexo with a Rocket Launcher with digital camo on the ridge of a hill overlooking a base

Nice roundup Coreldan. I remember the top most being labeled a common pool rocket launcher, the bottom is obviously NC. I hope that means the middle is a Striker, I can't wait to hold one and stroke it softly.

EDIT: Comparing the sizes, it looks like NC is compensating for something

Yeah, the first one does say "Nanite System" on it, indicating common pool.

I hate the NC one, myself. And I'm NC!

1) Too blue
2) Too baby blue
3) Too much "hurpdurp meh scavenge everything". Even replacing the "metal bar shoulder stock and front grip" would help a lot in that. It would still have that rough around the edges look, but at least look a bit better.

Fixed. Battlefield was actually really good before bc2 and bf3. In previous games there was a separate anti tank class that sucked vs infantry.

Anti tank should be only effective vs vehicles. High damage, low explosion radius. That will make sure it isn't spammed

I wish it was common pool. I made an idea in the idea thread for a mirv rocket weapon a few months back. I hope this becomes a common pool AV weapon.
You missed the entire point.

The NC bastards can't hide behind perfect cover, shoot their rockets straight up then cruise them on over to their target, they need to expose themselves if they want to guide their missiles to me.

That never bothered me that they could guide rockets like that. I mean TR had a lock-on one and personally as the VS ours was the best hands down. I can't tell you how many planes I've shot out of the air with my lancer. I've killed like 3 planes with a phoenix that I remember while playing VS. I did not envy their weapon. It left them sitting ducks.

Their new weapon however if it's anything like the one in Crysis I do envy them slightly.

My main experience with the rocklet was aimbot users hitting me with every round of a clip in fast-fire mode while I was running and they were 50 yards away.

I hope I never see it again. It, like the Fury and Enforcer, was an aimbot-users paradise.
