There both pretty balenced, The tank can be taken out easily and rocket launcher is only good within like 30 meters, unless your o good judge, And then you by no means a noob. Not to mention i takes some skill to aim the tank at wird angles and such.

I don't understand people who think that the rocket launcher and tank are cheap. They are just mad because it kills people so fast. But isn't that the point of the game? Killing your opponent. I think that if its there, and it works well, then use it.

Hear hear.

Just like some dude said to me, while I was playing one-on-one with him. "Yeah OK, you're a great sniper, but I haven't seen you at the hand-to-hand stuff."
"Well... dude, it IS Boarding Action."

They shouldn't get mad, but try and get even.

My friends always make lame azz gametypes where they turn the health down to like 50% and turn off the shields, then they take buckshots at my head and they're like "You Suck!" and then I put my game rules on with like 400% health and they can't stay alive long enough to beat me. Then they get all -blam!-y and they're like "You Suck!" so I suck either way lol

On the PC demo people get mad when you use the Banshee, they call you a Shee Wh0re or something to that effect, I even saw someone yell "Noob!" Come on, it's not that hard to shoot someone out of a Banshee, I used a wussy pistol and kept strafing to the side, worked just fine with me.

People on XBC really pizz me off though, I dish out a kajillion shots to the head with the pistol, a few shots to me and I'm dead! WTF that's just cheesy, they must mod their Xbox systems or something cuz that's impossible. Never happens in split screen, only on XBC. And it's always the host too. Anyone else have this happen to you?

Nearly every time I use the Rocket Launcher I get called a newby. Thing is, they're saying it as they stare at their own corpse and waiting for their body to respawn as I've juse sent their previous body skywards.

I usually carry my Rocket Launcher as a Secondary weapon as its pretty useless at extremely close range because you kill yourself aswell. I keep something like the pistol, or sniper rifle in Primary.

When it looks like the perfect opportunity to use the Rocket Launcher I pull it out and send one or two their way. It may be at quite close range or one of those situations where you really wanna S**t up the opposition up, so you send a judged rocket infront of them as they trundle along in a vehicle and hopefully, from nowhere, [color=yellow] BOOM! [/color]

The fact is, the majority of my shots using the rocket launcher are at a medium range so it does take some skill because of timing issues. The no talent comes into closer range situations where its faster finger first, yet you have a rocket launcher.

As for the tank, I try not to use that often as it moves really slow and I find it hard to send a rocket where I want.

Hyper Saxon I find xbc is just the same the host always has a huge advantage. it really put me off being constantly killed by the host just because of lag.
I don't think the rocket or the tank is that bad I only find it annoying when you always run into the same guys who is alwys in a tank or with a rocket launcher.
I've never been called a newby for using the tank or rocket but i usually don't use these much.
Imo they take as much skill to use as other weapons and each have ther own advantages and disadvantages.
