Yep, rockets should still kill, it just shouldn't be easy. It would be silly to see a rocket hit someone in the face and they take no damage as a poster above suggested.

They better not have nerfed my glorious splattercannon because you can wield 2 of them now...

Also, I wonder if they got rid of the 3 different choke spreads because of it?

It doesn't matter how slow you make a rocket, when there's 15 people in a hallway, you'll hit one of them. If the rockets do significant dmg they'll be abused.

Make it like in Planetside 1. The rocket splash dosent do much to infantry and a direct hit did 50HP of damage.

(This was with the deci.)

I had a theory that Decimator rockets had a Weight Trigger on the warhead, so that they didnt really detonate on Infantry because they were too light, but when they hit a wall, vehicle or a MAX unit, they provided enough resistance to cause the Warhead to detonate properly.

Nothing can help them.

I played NC yesterday. And besides their quite powerful weapons, ALL of them are just terrible players.

I deleted that NC character today. Never going there again, ever :P

I want that promise spelled out in VS blood.

They may be terrible players, but they play against retards (VS), so it is fair.

I'm glad we agree. Now, if we can also agree that VS are equally bad, we can get you in your red/black uniform.

It always comes down to:
AV
AI
AA

Why would a round that takes out tanks, not take out infantry at the same speed? Etc..

From the PCGamer article is sounds like MAXs will be slow moving, almost stationary, suits, that can be easily circle strafed by infantry. If this is the case, MAX DPS should be high and dual AI MAX DPS should be at the peak DPS offered in an infantry unit.

I imagine that the slow turn speed is something to make them require teamwork. It's basically a hard-coded way to ensure two MAXes covering each other are much more effective than two MAXes soloing. I can support that.

I want a shield I can carry with one arm. Or dual overlapping shields I can carry with two arms.

I tend to think defensively.

Unlike PS1, where, if I registered this correctly, one shotgun shot would hit ONLY the person in the crosshairs, and absolutely nothing and nobody else, shotguns should actually operate like shotguns. I.e. if you aim at a crowd, every pellet hits SOMEBODY. Not "one pellet hits the person in the crosshairs and the other pellets magically vanish"

I'm not sure if that was the case with PS1, especially as distance from target increased. Can Higby or anyone answer that?
