Judging from comments on servers and forums, I'm betting the AT class is the next to get the shaft. Note it. In a week or two they will be noob rockets.

Re: AT Noobs
With the way people have started to use them (just slam someone with one, before reloading and slamming someone else etc.) I think you're most likely right. -
Re: AT Noobs
Not really, people have been using rox like that before. It's not that annoying, and if anything AT will get a boost if the firing rate of the P90 is increased.Comment

Re: AT Noobs
People have been using AT rockets on inf for ages. It's always funny to just calmly move out of the way once it's close and then waste the AT guy. But it's also a useful long-range weapon if your target hasn't seen you. What else should AT use, the P90? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I admit it is fairly annoying to get hit by it at close range (pre-patch GL style) as you can't even be revived, and at that range you could be using the DAO-12.
They won't get nerfed though-unless they add a minimum shooting distance or something, which isn't going to affect their ability to shoot vehicles.Comment

Re: AT Noobs
Have any of you played At recently theres some major bugs going on with the missles they either dont fire (but show the animation) or they go through the object your firing at. I honestly cant see AT getting nerfed BTW watch the video at the beging of bf2 watch it right up to the end and youll see a chinese spec op guy getting nailed by a AT missle (then think about it).Comment

Re: AT Noobs
I had problems where missiles would fly through people and small vehicles all the time before the patch.Comment

Re: AT Noobs
I'm just a so-so player and I'm a fan of playing AT. As far as using the rockets for a main weapon, it's just impractical. Sure sometimes you can pull off some sick shots now and then but either they didn't see you or hoped you would miss and didn't bother to walk out of the way. However, I will use them on snipers as they tend to not try to move as much but since if they are elevated and you are on the ground it usually just clips the building, cliff, etc.
The only time I will ever use it at close range is if I am stalking a tank, or expecting one, and someone pops around the corner right in front of me. There is just no way to have time to switch weapons at that point and I would love to use the DAO instead of the crappy one shot rocket.Originally posted by HicRicComment

Re: AT Noobs
From my experiance when it passes through it is coupled with the missile not even firing. As you see it fire and pass through, but you never spent the shot. Like it was a case of lag, but not.Comment

Re: AT Noobs
Yes there are some bugs with the rockets at present (rockets passing through vehicles and a reload/animation/sound bug. There was a post by EA regarding it and saying there will probably be a hot-fix out soon for it.
As for using rockets for infantry, it hardly needs nerfing as it takes 3 times longer to reload then a guns magizine, its one shot AND you only have 5 rounds anyway, if you are getting owned by them too much you clearly need more practice
Its generally snipers that moan about it most as they just lay there trying to snipe you as the rockets streaks towrds them instead of simply moving, they have virtually no splash damage so even moving 2 feet would mean survival. The AT-class have no defense against snipers except the rockets, whereas every other class at least has a fighting chance with their primarys if they can see them, coupled with the fact you cant even run most of the time because of the low-sprint, so i have never seen a problem with this tactic.
I truely believe trhe only reason you have a lot more AT (and snipers) on the battlefield at present is simply because of the new "toys" a lot have unlocked and they are being tryed out a lot (i.e. P90) in a few days it will level back down to even kit spread again.Comment
