Fuel rods, aka n00b tubes, are the most annoying weapons in the game. 7 reasons.

1) They do immense amount of damage 2 shots (3 indirect), and you're dead.
2) They are rapid fire. 2.5 shots a second or, 1.5 shots a second without overheat.
3) They have 25 shots, and then their melee attack is 2 hit kill.
4) They fire in an arc, so you can just plop it down into the ground near your target and his shield is gone.
5) n00bs always take them into the bases and kill everyone intsantly.
6) they flip any machine with 1 hit.
7) whoever has it the whole game and ends up with 60 spawn kills gets to say: "ahahah gg owned you little n00bs with your n00bie pistols and shotguns!!!!!!!!"

Please downgrade the fuel rod. Make it do 1/2 to 1/3 the damage, then it is balanced with the other weapons.

that's why they call it the covie rocket launcher.......
i personally don't care much about the FRG, i can own the people that use them with the 3 shot headshot kills with the pistol.

I agree w/obaten. Take a pistol or sniper and finish them off.

Or leave the game.

Or edit the gametype to exclude fuelrods.

FRG is easy to deal with. Pistol as the others have said, will wipe them out before they even hit you.

I agree, FRG doesn't annoy me either. What does annoy is a FRG'er standing at spawn points killing respawned players !!! ARRGGHHHH .........

It's there to be used and any weapon can be countered so leave it the same.
i would use it whenever i can get it because you never know when the next hog will come round the corner. Plus its good for defense in ctf and as i have said before what do you think a Spartan would use pistol or FRG?

I only use it for the noobs who come around squishing people when they barely spawn.
