I noticed this in beta and thought it was a bug. Unfortunately it has traveled to live. I don't know how many pure commando's actually use their launcher pistol...I can't see any reason to unless you have good pistol skills...so if you haven't shot anything with it recently give it a go and let me know what the hell is going on.

You all know the original animation was several tracer lines representing tiny missles going to the target. Now these have been replaced with a horizontal line that curves and rotates along an arc on it's trajectory. Much like the tracking animation used in the movie Predator. You just have to see it to understand.

So, is this a bug? Or is this an intended change? Although it looks cool, it definately does not represent what the launcher pistol does. I always loved the old animation and can't for the life of me understand why they would change it.

/crosses fingers and hopes this is just a graphic bug. Thanks for any input.

Not sure whats going on - just used mine last night - I still get the little red lines - followed by a lag o matic explosion - same as it always has been. I havent noticed any changes at all.

A friend of mine noticed the difference as well, so I'm not completely crazy.

Try some specials with it. I'll do some more testing tomorrow.

Yeah, just logged on and did it too. I think it's still the same animation that was used before, but it looks like it just goes sideways now. lol

I guess we just /bug it then. I have done this in beta and in live, but we all know how much mileage we get with that command. If no one else has posted it in the ground regressions thread I'll throw it out there too. Maybe it'll get fixed in a few months

After more testing, I really don't like it. I am hoping this is a bug, cuz this game is lacking in the 'cool' department and the launcher pistol showing the little missle trailers homing to the target was very cool.

At least I thought so...
