Rockets and revolvers..

Gun Toting Moron · 04-27-2006, 04:43 PM

I don't see the point in rocket launchers. I mean, they're basicly slow firing revolvers. The highest rocket damage is 55 (Correct me if im wrong) and the highest revolver damage is about 50 but the revolver has an instant hit, higher rate of fire and more ammo per magasine. Whats the advantage of rockets over revolvers?

Main advantages are area damage, they cant be blocked and are much more effective vs laggers

but they weight much more,

I like them cause of the sound they make, and the white smoke and explosion ^^

Well I most commonly use a revolver/rockets combination so if anything I have hits you, it will most likey hurt.
I would use duel revs but rockets give me more close range options than rev/rev would.

Ok heres the brutal truth to use shotty and rocket users:
We cant aim.

Yep.. it hurts. Cause if we could aim, we'd be using revolvers since they hurt HP ALOT more than AP. With shotguns, we can make errors and the rocket's splash + an instinct for where your opponent will go allows it to be effective.

but yea, its cause we cant aim. Truthfully. And if u wanted to kill a 400 ping lagger, then better if u just spray.

Speak for yourself -_-

Lol, nice point FGJK xD! The RL's have a "splash damage" which means that if the rocket were to explode, and someone was near it, it still does damage. It like a grenade. Revolver take some aiming skills to use effectively. Rocket launchers also make good fireworks xD!

Don't weapons work differently?

I believe the answer to that ends discussion here.

Dude, thats isn't the way it works...
Think about it, the shotguns "spray" effect is better for point blank range.
Revolvers are better for doing high damage at far distance.
Rockets can be used for both point blank and far range.
HA, I win!

revs penetrate armor, you know that right? so rockets arnet rlly "slow moving revolvers"

**Biovolt** · 04-27-2006, 06:04 PM

I think revs are useless at close ranges unless you have very, very good aim. This is b/c ppl move so fast in this game with kstyle, thats what rockets are for predicting without 100% aim (that you need with revs).

They hit pretty much the same damage. And revolvers can head shot which hits 75% to the other players health.

i agree with the head shot stat, but they dont hit the same damage IMO. I can stand about 5-6 rockets, but only 3-4 rev hits.

Massive a guy and aim at their feet with the 45+ damage pistols

I think its rather effective, this is of course if you can get them massived

But at real close range i would agree that rev's lose most of their usefullness

Only player i seen who is great at kyslting at close range is blaze or something, every one in the room thought she was hacking tho because she hit everything with her 2 shot combo thingymuwhat.
