Schmexy

[3mpty]

Wow, that's actually pretty damn fast.

[TizzYcho]

Does it reload that fast too?

[Alfacow]

hopely.
If not, that would be rubbish

[Ice]

This should be even more fun annoying pesky Sniper Rifle Snipers on open maps.

Wow, have my boxes.

absolute hell for engineers.

[Devodiere]

That looks way easier to hit things with. Could shoot a Pyro in the eye with that.

[TizzYcho]

[QUOTE=Bragdras;18982870]Wow, have my boxes.[/QUOTE]

Why?

[-TRASE-]

YEAH, This weapon is perfect for me, I always shoot close to people. And it will be better for me when I'm shooting scouts and spies close to me

[QUOTE]host_timescale 1.8[/QUOTE]

The game is sped up by 80%.

[NeoDement]

Ooooohhhh it looks nicer than I thought

[TizzYcho]

There isn't too much skill then if it's moving [i]that[/i] fast.

[JaxJesse315]

Reflecting that will be tough.

[Spazi]

I'll love this.

[QUOTE=JaxJesse315;18983387]Reflecting that will be tough.[/QUOTE]

Probably not for me because I always use compression too early when reflecting normal rockets.

[Trooth]

[QUOTE=TizzYcho;18982878]Why?[/QUOTE]

You read the replies, but not the bold text at the beginning of the OP?

[QUOTE=JaxJesse315;18983387]Reflecting that will be tough.[/QUOTE]

I'm sorry, did you say tough? Or badass?

[Zero-Point]

Dude, KICKASS.

Whoever rated me disagree is a one-eyed MAGGOT if they can't tell I was talking about how kick-ass it'll be to have a rocket that most people won't just dodge.

[Babycakes1377]

I'm hoping Valve did something awesome with the sounds. I want it to sound like a F-14 just took off off of my shoulder when this thing fires. Also, nice meaty hit sounds for the demo's eyelander.

[kikka]

I will love this weapon to death.

[Shibbey]

Does anyone think that this is just [I]slightly[/I] overpowered? I mean, an engineer can only just out heal rocket damage.

[Sgt. Napalm]

My life as a Pyro just got 8 times harder.

[NoseFinger]

Damn, those rockets fly fast!

if they make it have a slow fire rate, it won't be because if you read it the splash damage is greatly reduced, so it's a precision weapon. it makes it harder to hit people, therefore unless you have good aim it isn't all too good

[Ziron]

cant wait until the Direct Hit is nerfed :cool:

[SpudOfWar]

Hey, it looks like the direct hit will be scoped, or perhaps it will just be cosmetic.

[Smashman]

I think this also SEVERELY reduces Rocket Jump distance.

But if you're aiming at a sentry and firing, it's not like the sentry's moving. Plus with more damage it would take about 2 shots to take down a level 3 sentry. You'd need at least 2 engineers behind it to keep it safe.

Thats the point of REPLACEMENTS. they take away strengths on one area and put strengths in another, added with a new range of tactics the replacement brings while not affecting the core "personality" of the class. (for example, Scout and Sniper are assholes, their replacement weapons make them more asshole-ey)
