I assume this was part of the reach update but there was no FYI about it !!!
I think is cool to have rockets at level 5 now instead of 6 but rocket hog at level 4 ??? that was just a mistake.
Rocket hog is massive destruction. In my opinion is a bit more powerful than Gauss hog because with Gauss you can still miss a shot and with rocket you can get pretty easy multi kills.
also at level 4 is to early in the game, the only weapon it can face it will be a railgun but still I not a one shot kill and get target very fast.
well… this is just one man opinion, what do you think ?
I think its fine, rocket hogs are more anti vehicle than anything you can dodge the 6 rockets easy due to travel time, and a person using a portable rocket vs the rocket hog the person with the portable one has more killing potential due to the aim and control they can have along with the mobility and size to fit into other places in the map.
Also weapons to use
- Blood of suban - Fuel rod - Gravity hammer - Any needler (talon of the lost being ideal) - Plasma caster - Rail gun - Plasma pistol - Razors edge - Brs
I like the reduction of the Rocket Hog’s REQ level. I didn’t think they were worth 6, and never called them in because of it. They can very easily be taken out by a plasma pistol, and if the gunner/driver aren’t in sync it can be pretty easy to take them out due to the cooldown of the rockets. I think it works out well this way.
Rail guns and plasma pistols solve all vehicle woes. Whiplash is the easiest way to incapacitate any warthogs, and is only uncommon so it’s not super hard to get.
Ad Victoriam all day, erry day
rocket hogs suck imo. they arent nearly as good as a tank or banshee so its good theyre a lower req level now
This was for my experience in a game where we were getting raped my 3 hogs surrounding our armory in snow map, (no way out)
I agree you can use fuel rods plasma etc, but think about this, plasma will not destroy the vehicle , if you dont have some else ready to take the kill shot for you you are just wasting the EMP,
other power weapons like casters and fuel rods are easy to dodge or hard to hit moving targets like in my case.
I agree that rock hog was not worth level 6 maybe 5 will be nice but 4 makes this over used.I know now… maybe I just suck at this but I’ve never been dominated so fast by the other team before the release.
I don’t think that rocket hogs are going to be overused because of this

Problem was that we were getting raped so badly we couldn’t call more than level 3 or 4 when the other team was already level 7 or 8.

Maybe at the distance but with a fast moving target they get you off guard very easy.
I dont want to EMP a vehicle if I dont have a team mate to finish them, that is why I relay in Rail gun more than any other level 4 weapon.
needler is good but as you know just at short distance and with a lower speed moving target maybe.

I think that was my problem, they where communicating well and we got raped to early in the game, not fun experience at all but no pain no game.
