So, what's the word on weapon balance?

Do you mean they are too weak or too powerful?

As for rockets, I don't mind if they are fast and powerful as long as it's balanced with a slow load time an small reserve of rockets (ala Half-Life).

One thing I would like to see is more powerful grenades. They should kill everything in the room. When you heard a grenade bouncing in Max Payne, you TOOK COVER!

Sez mr inferiority-complex-a-mile-wide. Laser as in ACCURATE, unless you know of a rifle-format laser weapon that can kill, you Flash Gorden twat.
If you had a mind you might be interesting. As it is you're useful for nothing more than the occasional half-hearted poke with a stick.

Sorry if this is already a thread somewhere.

Is there any opinions on weapon balance yet? Do any of the weapons stick out as clear favorites or overly unfair? I recall it took quite a while for the Counter Strike weapons to get properly tweaked.

I just started playing the demo, so I haven't formed an opinion yet. It seems that there are no real speed penalties for choosing the MG's.

There's been numerous complaints about the shotgun and rockets but I have no problem with em. The sniper rifle doesn't bother me either you just need to know how to adjust your playing style for these guns (circle strafing, always keep moving, etc.)
