i have a friend who cant beat me without the aid of the launcher. he always has the damn thing ! and i know that it is really good at getting points fast, but to always have one seems to me it shows a lack in combat skills.anyone have any thoughts ?

Boy, if you hate the rocket launcher just wait till you witness the fuel rod gun. In the pc version, at least, the fuel rod didn't have quite the effect of a rocket but it can definitely hurt you, and heres the best part, you can fire upto five shots in succession until overheating. That gun is gonna be real annoying for close combat but great for long range combat when storming a base or hindering the other teams flag bearer running off in a hog or ghost.

Lots of people complain the same way about the pistol. I figure any weapon you can use to eliminate the enemy is worth using as much as you need too. If he can only kill you with the launcher then don't let him get it. If he's good enough to continue to acquire the launcher then he must not be lacking in skills, he just knows what he excells at and uses it. I guess in my opinion it doesn't make sense to think a person isn't an adept warrior because he takes advantage of the weapon that he inflicts the most carnage with.

So, I guess the point I'm trying to make is this, if you're struggling with him beating you when he has the launcher then you need to
1) don't let him have the chance to pick it up
2) increase your skills with a weapon you can use to eliminate him when he does acquire it

Try new tactics in killing him, my mate takes the launcher when he's losing so i grab an overshield and shotgun etc and think about how i'm gonna get him.

pick up the rocket launcher yourself or the sniper
nothing to close range
no AR
defintly no shotgun or plasma rifle
possibly needler or one of the pistols

with the sniper get in a corner easy to get out of, he cant pick you of without you seeing him first

NO vehicles

i can usually get away but he uses the excuse of "he needs it to even the fight" but yet doesnt try to improve his game skills.

bah

So, in other words, he is better than you? I bet you'd never beat him if you didn't use any weapons. Try to stop complaining and develop anti-rocket skills. I don't understand why people come here to complin. Why not just ask for advise? I know what you want is for everyone here to back you up, so you can show him he's wrong. Or maybe what you want is validation from people here that you're the better player because he uses rockets. You're not going to get that from me. Set up a game, 50 kills. Then see who wins. Whoever wins is the better player.

The easiest and best ways to avoid a rocket launcher are :
1) Keep your eye on where the rocket launcher is, have a sniper rifle with you at all time guarding that spot.

2) Higher ground, the best way to avoid a rocket launcher is an open space at higher ground that way the only way he can hit you is by actually hitting you with the rocket, he can't shoot at the ground if it's higher than him and he can't hit anything around you. This is the point where you want to snipe him from long rage while he's trying to hit you with rockets from afar, once he gets closer, take out your shotgun and serve him dinner with a mouth full of lead.

Unless you're close to him use the pistol! Yes, if you don't know me I love the pistol. That doesn't mean it's the only gun I know and love (I do love it though) but if you're at a mid-long range use the pistol and aim for the head. If you're close to a rocket use grenades and close range weapons (an AR and grenade are a awesome combo). Whenever he fires make sure you jump no matter what, you stay on the ground you're dead. No gun is more superior than the other. It may seem for a while that the gun may be invincible but if that were true there would always be an invincible person, not true.

Have you ever been hit by one at close range by an invisible guy who barely got by you? I guess not, lol.
