Does anyone know if Huxley will have armor percing, anti air and anti infantry rounds? I think they should, otherwise, everyone would be running around with rocket launchers....and it would become a rocket fest. Which, in my oppinion, would kill the game. What do you think? (sorry for teh spelling)

I would hope that they would have the sense to balance it out so that it wouldn't become a rocket fest.

Ther is a currency. Rockets are going to cost a shitload and probably for mid/close ranged only.

buried · 14-08-2006, 04:02 AM

If you think rockets are a problem, then you probably don't have a clue how to evade them in a game with fast movement.

Oh, forgive me, I must be a n00bzor who lacks your 1337 h4x0r sK33ls.

Yeah seriously. Rockets if used realisticly kill everything. I am sry that your too used to Quake and UT where a rocket (unless it hits the person directly) sucks ass.

I personally hope it doesn't become an "anything-fest", I hope every gun has enough advantages that you see all of them in nearly equal quantity.

Now whether this will actually happen or not...doubt it.

Actually since this game IS based on UT and quake, there's a good chance that's how it's going to be. Besides, you only have to come close with the rockets in those games, hitting a person was never the object, it was always the ground at their feet or the nearby objects.

Buried was actually correct in his comment on people who hate them don't know how to avoid them. Those of you who don't know how to avoid slow moving objects in a fast paced shooter in a wide open area might actually luck out in this department. Go read the weapon description on the rocket launcher and you'll find that it is described as being very bad for close quarter fighting. So "deathking" you pulled that one out of your ass.

Rockets move slow, bullets move fast. This is the essence of weapon balance.

Elvyne · 14-08-2006, 10:11 AM

rockets have a blast radius, avoiding that is hard whren rockets are used by a person that knows how to think and anticipate.

connnnn · 14-08-2006, 12:32 PM

That's why you keep your distance and shoot them with weapons that don't make you have to anticipate 2 seconds in advance. If someone can predict your movement, you're either too close or moving in patterns. Just like if you're using rockets, you shouldn't be going after someone with a rifle who's peeking in and out around a corner from down an alleyway.

Every weapon type should have its uses, and it should be up to the players to learn when to use each. Most DM games have at least (the very least) 3 major weapons that can all offset each other depending on the situation, so I expect that Webzen would be trying to have the same sort of balance throughout the range of guns. Otherwise we'll all end up using the same one the whole time. That's all beta work though.

This type of skill should be rewarded though, if someone is good enough to predict your every move he should wipe the floor with you.

People are worrying too much about rocket launchers. Granted they are devastating, but only in certain circumstances. You just need to learn how to deal with them ingame and they won't be too scary for you anymore.

Hail that post!

Anyhow, I'm sure a lot of the weapons will work in UT style, so Rockets will do some good splash damage, but be easy to dodge. However, the tri-rocket thing...not so easy.

How long this game has been in development, I'm sure they are taking a lot of these things in consideration (at least I hope).

buried · 17-08-2006, 12:36 AM

Triple rockets in UT = balanced. Laser guided=not.

Murvel · 17-08-2006, 11:00 AM

I have locked down this thread for now to be able to clean it.

If you wish to have some sort of e-penis contest then take it over PM or e-mail. The other Huxley-fans don't want to be a part of it.

Edit: It has been re-opened. Infractions has been given to the member(s) which this concerns. I don't want any more off-topic in this thread as of now.

I'm sorry your aiming and prediction skills are not up to par.
