Not to interrupt this great topic but... The Rocket Launcher is a newbie weapon, they should make an option where u can say NO Rockets or something, THe Rocket Launcher is gay head to head and same with the sword its always a race to one of those weapons and then u have the upperhand with them. I occasionally get killed by newbies with them but thats the only weapon that they can kill me with so ya i agree with everyone who thinks that the Rocket Launcher is a cheap weapon, they should lower its power or something... I agree that it is nice for like CTF when their team is in a Warthog or Banshee or something else, but its not impossible to take those guys out, it would actually add some more skill involved in stopping the flag carrier, bump up your sniping skills and such and it should be a problem to take out the flag guy, and on the other hand if that team was able to take your flag and get in a warthog with no problem then they deserve to get the flag... Rockets overall are just a pretty much newbie weapons, i can see certain instances where you need them, and in no way am i calling peoples newbs OK, but for slayer and other games that involve a bunch of killing the rocket launcher can be a problem...
