Are Rockets Cheap?
 

I'm trying to settle an argument and I need your help. I claim that rockets are cheap and that most of you guys would rather play on a server that doesn't allow them. Thanks.

i enjoy rockets and find them a lot more difficult to use in CKR than any MG (and also find the majority of people who whine about rockets never stray from their STGs)

always was easier to unload the clip than make a single shot count

Rockets are no cheaper than shotguns and they allow shotguns. You can be labeled cheap by any weapon u use so why does it matter ?????

I like ur attitude man :P

Rockets are alot harder to use than a StG in CKR. Rocket takes time ti realod, the rocket curve at distance, you only get 3 rounds, its decreases your movement speed. For an StG: Sniper-rifle accuarate, 1 hit kill, little movement speed change, 30 round clip.... hmm... seemls like a rocket would have no chance at all against a StG.

exactly so they should be allowed :)

Yup

thanks for helping me guys bigzooka:

I guess what I don't like about them is when someone blows me up. It doesn't seem all that hard to aim at a target fire and duck under cover. And it's really hard to take cover when a rocket is headed your way. You don't have much chance to escape. IE: in the hunt level you could be on axis and in one of the houses, just peek out the window and fire, then take cover. They wouldn't even have a chance to shoot at you and it's pretty easy to hit them with a rocket.

same thing can happen with a sniper rifle man

You guys should really let anyone use whatever weapon they want. Not like their hacking in the game, ya know swordfight: .

No it's not cheating or anything but it's our server and we can set whatever rules we want, so if we prefer it one way then we can make that happen. I was just trying to get the opinions of the general public.

fine do whatever u want ill go play ut , they dont ban weapons.

or a rifle, or a mg, or a smg, or even a pistol. rockets are a lot easier to evade than infinite-velocity bullets

they're being one sided they dont want to let me have some of my way.

well that much is obvious we just love to argue around here

at least im not the only one who thinks this

Are rockets cheap?
depends on the type.
guided rockets liek TOW and Stinger are more expensive, you can get some surplus Russian RPG-7s pretty cheap.

biggrin:

lol not that kind of rockets my friend

It is popular belief among many gamers that rockets are "gay".

Rockets are inanimate objects. Therefore how can a rocket have a gender? Let's say for arguement sake rockets are in fact gay. Then would you be persecuting rockets for their sexual orientation?

Another popular belief among gamers is that rockets are "cheap".

As Stryker pointed out, rockets are rather expensive.

Just though I'd clear up those misconceptions.

and we have reached an all new low in this forum............

STGs in Realism is cheap

we reached that with the cheat accusation spree that popped up last month

Rockets come in handy once in a while. In CKR you are limited to 3 rounds so it kinda keeps peeps from using them unless they're in dire need of one. Which is good because they are available if you want one but there aren't 8 peeps running around with them , actually that doesn't bother me either as they are fairly easy to kill. biggrin:

indoors = cheap
outdoors = not

it take a lot of judgement to lead a shot with a rocket on a running target.

As most of you extremely clever gamers have noticed ( hopefully ), all the weapons have disadvantages. Rockets have a decent halfway range before they go haywire, only have six shots, have a long reload time and slow your movement down something shocking. You have to anticipate where the other guy is going to run too and lead the shot accordingly.
I have learned long ago to dodge like a Mutha F***a when they are aimed at me..
On the plus side, they are an effective life ending device!

Snipers do the same long range killing without letting you close in if you have an MG or SMG or Shotgun. That makes the Sniper rifle just as cheap. Same story for Shotgun... you're F****d if you get up close but safe from a distance.
They all have disadvantages. They are all the same. Learn to dodge. Please stop crying.

...and while I'm here I'd like to say hello to all my fans out there, and my parents and my budgie Nigel for making all this possible. biggrin:

And what would be the disadvange of an StG in CKR?

Its pin-point accurate in bursts, it fires just as fast as the SMGs, little weigh-down. Kills in 1 hit to chest or head, 30 round clip. [saracasm]Hmmm yeah lots of disadvanged there. How could ANYONE ever kill with something like that. It would take an expert gamer to use one of those.[/sarcasm]

I agree. If it weren't for those that blow you up knowing full well they will die too I wouldn't have any problems with rockets at all.

CKR 1.1 fixed that, teh BAR and STG are more closely matched, and I don't know about you but I can smoke STG whores with a Thompson at close range.

Rockets most of the time can get pretty irratating. But sometimes they are fun. But its no fun when u have a hold entire squad of bazzooka's. It takes the fun right out of the game.

personally, i dont think that rockets are cheap. all weapons are fine and i dont care for the ppl who complain about them. i dont know what other ppl on this thread have wrote because im to lazy to read them, but if they were a form of cheating or just cheap the moh developers would not have made them. there are such things as rocket launchers so y does eveyone complain. i personally dont use them but i dont whine when other ppl do.

I only cmplain when someone is camping behind a door on a no-respawns objective game with a rocket and blows up both me and himself, that is just lame.

Otherwise rockets probably take more skill than other weapons because you move slow, reload slow, and the round travels slow so you have to lead A LOT. All I know is I play with rockets occasionally for a change of pace and I get more kills using other weapons.

rockets aren't really cheap, but in a team match i think only 1 or 2 rocket users per team is acceptable, the multiple kill ratio is just too high when like 8 guys run around firing them everywhere. It also makes no sense when in close quarters, why do rocket users insist on firing it when it kills not only thier intended victom, but also themselves? (you can always switch to pistol) Oh well, they lose a kill, we just get a death.... as a Stg user and a fan of CKR i beleive the BAR and Stg are equal, a well practiced BAR user is as lethal as the best sniper, and in close quarters i cant usually beat a thompson user, regardless of firing in any burst fashion or emptying the clip... all's fair in War, right? we just gotta use common sense, if in a CKR setting it would be anti-realism to have more than 1 or 2 rocket users per team, i guess...

If only EA would get their heads out of their ass and do a thing liek in America's Army where you have X number of snipers rockets etc. (that are allowed, if no one wants to use rocket they aren't forced to) depending on the total number of players.

ya that would probably be a good idea. ive never played AA but that seems lik it would be alright
