[QUOTE=Sparrowsluck;31246842]The charged shots only do 100-150. You get more damage per second by just firing all your damned rockets, even with the fire. Seems balanced to me.[/QUOTE]
join 2fort server, pop around corner on battlements and fire a charged shot, watch snipers burn and complain.
Its so much fun.
LAZOR HAXX

got accused of hacking 3 times by doing this. :v:
Can you rocket jump with this weapon?
[QUOTE=Mr.face;31246941]LAZOR HAXX[/QUOTE]
But these aren't lasers, these are Plasma Projectiles. Lasers would be near instantaneous.

Form what I've heard yes, but you get more damage doing so.

Yeah I had a [I]blast[/I] doing that today.
Still balanced though, it's a situational benefit that normally leaves you vulnerable as hell. 2fort being one of the very few exceptions to that.
[QUOTE=ChocoCoach;31247027]Can you rocket jump with this weapon?[/QUOTE]
Yes, but it chops away half your HP.
And I think for one extra rocket and the ability to disable sentries, taking more rocket jump damage is somewhat balanced. It also takes slightly longer to reload
I think it could lose the sentry gimmick and just go with the charge shot and extra rocket as the bonuses
I love disabling sentries and then destroying them with my shotgun, bonus points if you gib the engi first with a charged shot.
IMO Lasers and over-the-top effects like the ones belonging to these weapons just don't fit into the game's visual style. Weapon effects are usually far more muted and more 60s and these look sci-fi/Fallout 3.
I really think the Soldier should get a mask like the villain's veil as a misc, it'd look amazing with the new pith helmet.
They could tone done the particle effect of the projectile a bit. But the weapons itself just seem to fit somehow.
I'm rocking the stout shako and mutton chops at the moment. Feeling very much like these fine gentlemen.

I really think the Soldier should stop getting weapons and items. At least until the rest of the team catch up.

I love the gun though, it's so much fun to use because it's so ridiculously overpowered.
wait the pith hat is PAINTABLE?

One of the favorite aspects of the Cow Mangler is that they seemingly forgot why they reduced Soldier's reserve rockets from 36 to 20

Agreed on weapons but there's nothing wrong with hats and miscs.
holy shit this weapon is so fun to use.
I don't see the "overpoweredness" of it you lot seem to be seeing, after playing with it for a while.
[QUOTE=Randdalf;31248248]I don't see the "overpoweredness" of it you lot seem to be seeing, after playing with it for a while.[/QUOTE]
I don't think they have even used it.
it is so fun but frustrating to use meaning its balanced
[QUOTE=Dr. Awkward;31248523]it is so fun but frustrating to use meaning its balanced[/QUOTE]
I don't see how it's frustrating
It's a rocket launcher with 1 extra rocket and the ability to charge the rocket to do super damage and afterburn.
At the cost of hilariously useless downsides.
Just treat it as you would the Rocket Launcher.
I wish people would stop bitching about the rocket launcher, it's a fun weapon but I guess that TF2 is all serious business.
[QUOTE=Randdalf;31248248]I don't see the "overpoweredness" of it you lot seem to be seeing, after playing with it for a while.[/QUOTE]
Remember when Soldiers used to have an insanely high reserve ammo count that got nerfed? Yeah, that's a pretty big thing even if you don't pay much attention to your ammo. The extra rocket and option to do the alt-fire is just even more on top of that.
Oh boy, more ridiculously overpowered promotional weapons that I will never get because the drop system is swill.

Then we give the Scout an outer space Scattergun with 8 shells and the ability to shoot 2 at once, but -0.5 cap rate.
24 hours after it's released, forums say that it's not really OP and those who say so haven't tried it.

The crafting recipes are cheap, read up on things before you bash them.

I'd welcome any unlock based around the Scattergun.
Hopefully this isn't late but,
I just got done playing some Dustbowl with a friend and he was on the opposite team ( blue ) only to get autobalanced to my team. When he was on our team he still appeared to be blue and when I would heal him no info would show up ( name, hp )
Then when I ubered him...

I feel like it's relevant due to the update probably causing this

alt fire completely empties the 5 rockets
[editline]21st July 2011[/editline]
which need to be loaded meaning you now need to reload 5 times for the instant kill
