I just saw the new Rocket Launcher, what the fuck is that. It doesn't look like it should belong in TF2. Looks like it came from Duck Dodgers.

Hey guys I just downloaded the update and the game is running on like 5 FPS after running on high settings fine before. I'm on a Macbook pro with an i7 and I just downloaded the new mac os if that has anything to do with it. Anyone got any suggestions to fix this?

Am I totally imagining things, or has gravelpit had a GIANT LASER GUN on a capture point roof for like, years? Steampunk laser guns fit spytech bases far better than redneck cowboy engineers, baseball-playing Boston punks, or weird Australian New Zealand outback snipers.

Isn't that just a satellite? Either way, I think it fits the aesthetic more than the new ray guns.

Compare that simple retro design to the complicated flim flam on the new soldier weapons.

[edit] I think it's just a satellite since Hightower has the same thing.

If they keep putting out more and more powerful weapons it's just going to lead to more one hit kills, something this game already has too many of.

Doesn't the new rocket launcher have a far lesser chance of getting one hit kills compared to a normal rocket launcher due to lack of random crits?

Valve actually made 1hit kills less frequent from what I can tell. That, along with the reduced ability to deal with engies is why I am staying with the classic model for now.

Liberty launcher still>> others

But laser so much fun. I dunno about it's speed being the same...it 'feels' slower and 'seems' to do less dmg.

It looks like it may actually say laser gun if someone captures the point, too, but I don't remember for sure.

So why does RED have a laser gun on Hightower but BLU only has a satellite? Valve needs to balance that ASAP.

It certainly looks slower than the regular RL, maybe because of the laser trail. Also it seemed like when I got killed by it, I walked into it like a dumbass instead of being flanked or outgunned. I do hope they update the particles though, half the time I can't tell what is the rocket and what is the laser trail. Also, I hope they speed up the disintegration when you get killed buy it. Floating dead people blocked my view every now and then. And instead of giving Soldier a fugly safari hat and mutton chops, he should have gotten a faux rocketeer helmet.

Also I have a Tomislav to trade. I will trade it for the Shashansha or any of the new laser Soldier weapons. I'll also trade a strange pyro crate for a random weapon.

So I have tested the new launcher now and it is by no means owerpowered. I would like to see them add a few sound effects and tune down the visual effects a bit, but they are fine.

I just had an amazing thought. Those people who don't like the new weapons, don't equip them!

Amagawd, I just saved tf2.

Doesn't stop others from equipping them and games being full of laserbeams, does it? :p Not really complaining, just think its 'odd'. Though not sure why considering the nature of TF2.

Yeah the shots they fire look just like normal rockets! Easy to ig...no... wait. No they wouldn't be.

I don't mind them, but this seems to be one of those features you can't ignore if you dislike.

How long has it stayed at 100%? I was verifying GTAIV yesterday and it hung up on 100% for several minutes.

You can break up reclaimed into scrap (it's called "Smelt Reclaimed Metal")

It actually freezes at 100% for a while and then finishes after a few minutes. Just let it go.

you know valve is trying to rebalance the classes.
fucking stupid to give more power for balance.
in a couple year's time. every single class will have 1-hit deaths in their artillery.
plus, that stupid syfy gun doesn't even fit in the tf2 universe.
unless soldier is disguising himself as a space marine from the future.

Why do people keep saying this thing is good for one hit kills?

It is a direct downgrade from the normal rocket launcher when it comes to one hit kill ability.

Am I missing something?
