I wouldn't mind the rockets so much if you could actually use them realistically -- so to speak. Case in point, rockets were designed to take out armor, but you don't get much of a change to do this in MP mode, likewise, they were also used to gain entry points into buildings, but again, almost no maps allow you to blast holes for this purpose (Malta did have a couple spots you could knock holes I don't know if you could use a rocket to do this.)

BTW, bazooka rocket shells weigh about 10lbs each, you really couldn't move very fast carrying more than 3 of them along with your other gear.

As for shotties, they allow you to frag without any real need to aim. Expand the spread, and only allow them in ff-on maps and you'll see the reason they weren't widely used in combat. Of course some maps actually allow you to fire over a decent distance, in which case a shottie is real handicap.

rockets are most fun on maps like southern france and v2 when there is alot of gay campers/snipers who just sit there. but on some lvls its just uselses

yes, every time i get shot with a rocket other than point blank range. people act like they automatically seek to their target like some games when you have to actually make a non-latency related calculation on where to aim at a moving target, and even stationary since they zag after a certain range.

it's hard enough trying to get people to pick up a rocket to blow up the god damn flak88s or aa guns because everybody thinks they are n00b weapons, they would rather get mowed down than make good use of a weapon.
