wouldn't that make the number of people who you can kill with rockets negative?

I dunno - I feel you have a point - I like to john rambo it loads when pubbing and I havent used the baur too much but I have recently started to take it up again (along with scar if EU) and being usually the first responder to a camped / defended CP - I feel they have their place - I'll need to test this out for myself - but seems a combo of entry after SM have rocketed defended area - me and my support would roll in and finish the stragglers...

(or in TG's or SP's servers everyone would already be revived and would make me look like swiss cheeze)

The Herzog, theoretically can kill 4 people per clip (each with heavy armour and full health) at point blank range with headshots. If you are going to use an extereme case example for rocket deadliness, it surely shows you are unbiased to say the same of the shotgun?

To be honest I also hate the rockets. They are way overpowered. I usually shoot two rockets, see if they die, which they usually do. If not, I'll unload the other two meaning that they will die now. That extra rocket from NS really makes a difference if you are just off with your aim/spam. I would like to see them taken down some in the next patch.

wow lots of great replies to this but I think that the herzog is still being underrated here. Many times when clearing out buildings I will just switch to the herzog, which can get 1 shot kills fairly easily with, and an advantage in close quarters is that you dont have to zoom, crouch or even stop moving for that matter and you still get excellent accuracy. and when equipped with the Baur I really dont see a need for the rockets because about 2-3 shots to anyone who sticks their head up above cover is dead. I think its a weapon that really needs to be used more because when used correctly can be a very devestating weapon.

I do the same, but for a different reason. I reserve the second pair of rockets for the medic (if I kill the original target again, all the better).

Rockets are not overpowered - they prevent endless boring cover standoffs and camping behind cover. If you love those BF2 had plenty of those going on


Rockets are perfect to camp dead bodies - not so important on random pub but real usefull vs squads with teamwork

I don't think you'll get an invite to Bom's squad with that attitude.

Yea, that is always a ton of fun, camping the body. I have got a number of double kills that way.

Come again? The three worst fragalicious chokepoints I can think of include:

- Titan corridors
- Toll Station
- Belgrade's "Hamburger Hill"

Rockets are easily a more useful weapon in defensive positions as you know where the enemy is going to be coming from, while they do not necessarily know where you're going to be hiding. These three areas have perfect little killing lines where rockets will simply explode in your face as you try to get close.

Really if I had my way, rockets would be reduced to two per magazine and the NS unlock would give you one more magazine, NOT one more PER magazine.

Titan corridors have always been flawed by design. Rockets are powerful in there but so are AMP RDX and Nade spam.


If you keep moving as attacker of Tollstation you are way harder to hit than a defender hiding behind cover where you can get set the range of your rockets easily. Back in the day I would get tons of kills as toll defender with rockets when barely anyone knew hot to use them. Nowadays you are dead once your little helmet pops up behind one of the walls.

If you find yourself getting killed by rockets on a regular basis you need to rethink your movement patterns. You are either standing still for too long or you are too predictable.
