Omg this -Yoink- ruins the game !
Halo 5 would be perfect with just a little bit nerf of the rocket launcher ;(

Anyone notice Empire has turned into a “let’s camp by outside turbine”? No one even utilizes the middle or tower anymore since Rocket and OS force all the action to one side of the map. It was fine with the plasma caster instead, and even now the plasma caster got a buff making it even more lethal.

Same goes for Pegasus, Eden, and any map with rockets spawning in a asymmetrical location from each team’s spawn. If you haven’t noticed, spawning the rockets on one side of the map makes map control focused only on that side. Rockets should spawn in maps where each team has an equal chance of getting it in the middle (not the side) of the map. This makes getting rockets more risky with a big payoff.

Oh and now let’s talking about the nerfing part…
change the ammo from 4 shots to 2 shots and increase reload time. It’s way too easy for players, including me, to get at least 4-8 kills with the rockets. I like how they handled the SPNKR damage and firing speed, that’s how I want the default launcher to be.

I’ve been thinking its a bit weaker than it should be cause a lot of the time it’s used at point blank range and the shooter isn’t hurt.

I was confused today while playing 4v4 no body was going after the rockets when they were ready enemy included.

Have you considered that you may not be as good with it as you thought? The rocket launcher works perfectly fine with me. I get a kill, and I move on to the next target.

I have 438 kills with 90% accuracy using rockets. I’m not bad with it.…and 27 kills with 93% accuracy using the SPNKR…

I guess I never thought about it until your post, but I just had a slayer match on empire that played out just as you described. I think the suggestion of dropping the ammo from 4 to 2 may not be a bad suggestion

Empire is -Yoinking!- ruined. Used to be my favorite map because of all the crazyness happening in Tower 2 and top mid. Now it turned into “let’s camp on the turbines, wait for rockets and os”. Rockets eliminate the need to grab the shotgun too.

Isn’t the so called “camping by the turbine” also referred to as map control? The rocket launcher is fine how it is IMO.

8

This is probably the weakest rockets to date, but at the end of the day, it’s rockets doesn’t need a nerf.

9

Steve, not to question your godliness, but they are rockets. They are supposed to be fairly powerful (Power weapon).

10

It’s a rocket launcher… What did you expect

11

Um…welcome to Halo?

12

My only complaint about them is how they can kill you through a platform if shot underneath you. I know there’s splash damage but c’mon that erks me

13

First thread like this I’ve ever seen by Steve.

14

Nerf a weapon?

Have I stumbled into a Destiny forum?

15

I dunno dude, I ate a rocket and still killed my foe the other day.

Spartan charged right into the thing, plowed RIGHT through it…! I can only assume my helmet was all like CHOMP CHOMP MUHF***A.

16

It’s a rocket launcher, what did you expect ?

17

Hey, if anything they should buff it.
Spartans move a lot faster than they have in previous halos, you have enough time to boost out of the way if you see a rocket coming your way.

18

Rockets definitely do not need to be nerfed considering they already have such limited ammo. Plus, (as everyone has stated) they are rocket launchers, what did you expect? I mean, I can sort of see where you are coming from, but come on. We might as well switch Gravity Hammers for the Nerf Axes to make sure they aren’t OP.

19

I read this and it didn’t seem satirical. Is it satirical? I mean, nerfing the Rocket Launcher? Does it really affect that map so much? It’s barely available the whole game, so there you go? It hasn’t been this way for me though, so I don’t have the same idea of what you’ve got going on.

what am i reading?
Oh wait, it’s you.

Yup, this is a joke thread.
