grenade launchers amd rockets

[pyrosblade]

i was just concerned about these weapons in huxley. As far i saw in the gameplay videos, they were the only weapon anybody used. Which doesnt strike me as great gameplay. How does everyone else stand on this?

Keep in mind all the videos are still of close beta testing.

I just found a little while ago the video of the flamethrower which seemed pretty effective.

Also there are definitely lots of videos showing sniper use lol. And I think one of the first videos i've seen was some kind of plasma rifle thing.

The grenade launchers and rockets do definitely seem to play a big role in all the videos, but I'm assuming (hoping) that we'll begin to see more and more use of weapons once the game gets closer to release.

So no I'm not worried :D

I have to say I'm a rocket launcher kind of guy being a former quake player. Will I try other weapons in Huxley? Most definate. Will I end up with the rocket launcher? Probably. Unless for instance the rocket launcher were to be good at taking down armour faster and not so good at health and lets say the machine gun is good at taking down health but not armour. This would make the special ability of seeing the opposing players health/armour stats worth getting. Do I think this is how it will work? No. Is asking myself a question and answering it weird and annoying? Obviously

Heh Zw0lf, annoying indeed, but you do make a good point. I'm an oldschool quake-player myself so I'm bound to agree with you.
