i was just thinkin about this at work today and for the damage that a rocket launcher does.....and the impact it would have....why does it not have a knockdown...now im not talkin about a 30 sec knockdown...im saying that if your equiptment is good and you can survive the blast....you should be at least taken off your feet.....its a rocket.....!!!!

Yeah. I suppose KD would make sense, maybe throw in a dizzy or stun state too.

KD would be nice, but I think they should probably just blow up into pieces.

Actually I think it should mean the mortician needs to use a spatula and tweezers to determine cause of death.. screw knockdown

id settle to see the target be flown backwards 20m. preferably doing several flips in the air and screaming.

for what its worth:

A) youve just hit your target with a projectile the size ofa SMALL THERMOS, that alone should know it down, but not top it off with...

B) the fact that the projectile is EXPLOSIVE, if the impact didnt know the thing down, the explosion should at least stagger it back by about 10 fee....in all directions, unless of course...

C) the critter it to big to know down (see:Kryat) in which case run like the very devil himself is behind you

ARL one hits anyway pretty much (In PvP). Whats it matter?

oh yeah great... make you guys even more powerful then ya already are

NERF COMMANDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like that knock them backwards 20 feet while they flip through the air screaming idea...

It should be a knockdown, and the next time you stand up it should be in the cloning center. You should die in one shot or if you are buffed and have uber armor on you should have every state effect applied to you and be in aworld of hurt.

I mean you did just get hit by a rocket.

i really like the flipping thing. i dunno about 20m though..thats a bit far in realistic terms. But in game terms its pretty reasonable. if you acount for server/client data differences and server/client lag then 20m can actually be more like 10-30m depending on whos data you go with.

as for the NERF COMMANDO!!!!.....

get back in your own boards flamer!!!

If NOTHING else, make a rocket KD an ATST...thats a rockets primary purpose (come on..to use them in PVP is too fooking expensive for practical use. Even if your an uber-millionare)

-OR-

(enter the flame zone)

how about a rocket DoT? call it secondary explosions: causes blast damage over a period of a few seconds...of maybe a few hundred (1-300) damage? to no bar in particular. That would be crazy nuts. ESPECIALLY if applied to ATSTs/Turrets only.

I'd like an AOE KD. That would be fun. Of course, then they would really start to scream nerf.

Ya if your tryin to make it realisitc with a knockdown you may as well make it very realistic and just make them turn to dust but we can't make it realistic cause then commandos would have more than one weapon and thats unfair right all other professions?
