Worst for me is the UT rocket launcher because it contains a combined grenade launcher which (a) makes it too powerful and (b) prevented a separate grenade launcher weapon and ammo. The grenade ballistics are way too "bouncy" anyway.

The Quake2 BFG was so annoying because to get away from the deadly rays you had to get out of the LOS of the _firer_ not the point of impact. At least with the UT Redeemer you can hide from it when it comes down.

The Quake3 SMG is pretty crap too, I always switch to Gauntlet and get far more kills with it.

My favorites are Rocket/Railgun in Q3A

UT RL 0wnz. It's great fun. But it ain't too powerful. I will 0wn you with any number of other weapons

Hmm, the worst for me was the Gauss (sp?) from Goldeneye, it had the stopping power of a piece of rice thrown at somebody (and a pissy little round of 20 as well). :/

Bah, "not too powerful", I'll remember that when for the umpteenth time I get a six-rocket combo in the face chasing the flag carrier, no other weapon is used (I actually prefer the alternate fire of the Ripper than single-shot rockets).

 

[Wij]

Ripper alt-fire is faster and quite bouncy. Good for throwing chasers off the scent. And if you're dumb enough to keep running behind a flag carrier who you can hear loading rockets you deserve gib-hood

 

[caLLous]

Hehe, good point. Or how's about occasionally firing at them while your chasing them. What do you do, tag them and run away?

 

[Wij]

If they're loading the RL it's time to start translocating.

 

[caLLous]

Aye, peg it in the other direction and jump around like a loon.

 

[Wij]

Or Translocate beyond them and fight there, or tempt them to loose the rockets and use the t/l to avoid them, or just go for the telefrag. Easy.

 

[Zey]

can't beat it

Can't beat it .... The Lightsaber in JK2.... nuff said

 

[Wij]

Hey - I quite like the shotgun in MOH:AA multiplayer. I really enjoyed that game at BobLAN. It plays a bit like CS, only fun

 

[xane]

I think you're all missing the point. I _know_ all too well the doomed feeling of hearing the multi-rocket reload, and I quite often manage to get a headshot or decap before they let off, unless they guy is smart and sticks to 3 rockets. The one thing you don't do is break the chase.

My point is that nothing else is used, the RL is too powerful.

Haven't got the hand of telefragging yet, need more practise

 

[Wij]

You can still translocate around them.

 

[old.katerina]

Dual colt 45 from Action Halflife, close 2nd would be dual walther ppk from goldeneye.

 

[old.JJ - mixup]

Sniper!!!

I love the sniper's, specially the one in Unreal Tourny. I just get a nice feeling watching someones head being blown off hehe.

[caLLous]

I preferred the silenced ppk's in Goldeneye for some reason, oh and the RCP90 was a good 'un too.

[Wazzerphuk]

I used to love UT's RL... then I picked up Q3... it's RL physics are perfect, and much suited to my game (I never hit less than 50% of my rocks in games)... the UT RL pales in comparison, and is a bastard to use after getting so used to Q3s...

 

[Wij]

It's a totally different beast. It's more for area cover and surprise 6-rox attacks as they chase u round the corner. If you want to juggle and do splash damage then flak secondry is better. Q3 rocket launcher is a much more general purpose weapon. Still sux compared to QW RL tho

 

[Munkey-]

yay! snipers rule! we shall elimante all and everyone!
