Rockets and Grenades

[Aractain]

Lets hope its [I mean the Phx] more like BF2 than PS1 - gameplay where your enemy can't even be seen is not that fun.

AI rockets make sense but not instant kill ones like in BF2. I also hope they have better bombers that don't have instant kill cluster bombs and are more about putting pressure on positions to help out the troops on the ground.

The last thing we want in the confined corridors of Planetside bases is the frigging unbearable grenade spam we see in call of duty or even Battlefield 2.

I suppose the TLR is

i) Make AT weapons ineffective against infantry
ii) Make grenades support weapons as they are in Planetside

Did you just say grenades were slow to rearm and hard to use? Have you played PS lately, bro?

In comparison to say call of duty or battlefield. Have you played BF2 on an infantry only map, there are more grenades than raindrops in a Florida rainy season, each one has the explosion radius of texas and instakills and can be thrown over 5 city blocks and its very similar in Call of duty too.

In comparison to mainstream games Planetsides grenades are harder to use, their physics sucks (they act like bouncy balls) it takes about 2-3 hits to kill if thrown directly at the feet and there is about 1.5 seconds between grenades. Relative to the FPS market I believe I am right in what I said...

Deci's already two shot rexo. I think that's good enough damage.
