I got two weapons through milestones during that bug thing or whatever so now I guess I won't actually get them until later.  Still found the Eyelander randomly though so it's sorta cool.  I would have the shield and direct hit right now, but nooooooooo.

Gunboots are going to be awesome.

Who needs shotgun when enemies can never see you??!!

How about when you land out of ammo, and that heavy/demo/medic/engy/little five year old girl holding a daisy and singing kills you whilst you are reloading? I'll take a little more damage while jumping over a lot more damage while reloading any day.

When did a rocket launcher have 1 ammo?  And you have enough time to reload while in the air.

When did people only fire a single rocket when in the air?

When they are landing in a position where being out of rockets won't pose a problem?

[Mr.Person]

If you rocket jump into the middle of a battlefield with no way to flee, you deserve to get mowed down by a Heavy/Sentry/second Soldier/Scout ect. No, if I rocket jump somewhere, it's to get a location advantage over my opponents, not to get next to them.

[Jreengus]

What you do is rocket jump during a fight take your three shots straight down for maximum effect from the splash then shitch to your shooty and lay into the enemy. With the boots you lose that shotgun afterward so you end up landing in the middle of the battle out of ammo. If you're rocket jumping up to somewhere then on a team with a reasonable number of halfway decent medics you should be being healed  negating the need for the boots.

If you can fire all your rockets mid-rocket jump I would worship you.

[Zai]

I'm not playing again during the free weekend. Too much overload causing loadout problems is rather unattractive to me.

Don't make my altar too big, I accept sacrifices but prefer cash.

Seriously whats so hard? You jump and fire.

[Greiger]

Yea it's simple.  Especially when you rocket jump properly by crouching right before you jump.

[ToonyMan]

Post a video guys.  I've never seen it before.  Find a link or something.

I'm ticked. Royally ticked. The new weapons seem ridiculously overpowered. Maybe that's just because I die whenever someone as much as points a DH or winks bloody steel at me, maybe it's because I can't hardly do anything against the new weapons. The Eyelander/Targe and Direct Hit, at least, need a thwack in the face with the nerfbat.

Direct hit is pretty much an update atm, I'd try cutting down damage and hit area slightl. The Eyelander and Targe shouldn't be changed yet, bear in mind the targe reduces explosives damage and a very large proportion of people are playing the explosives based classes right now. Once you have more of a mix going on and especially more heavies I can see the Targe being a lot less effective.

[Leafsnail]

I got the Backburner randomly.  Quick question: What does a Critical Hit actually do?  I mean, I can see it does more damage, but I still can't tell the exact effect.

I quite like it, and it's very pretty when I hit someone from behind and random coloured words fly out of them.

[Giant Snowman]

Crits do about triple damage.

[Jreengus]

And send them flying really far if it is an explosive weapon.
