Ciaoss, I've been playing Lost planet 2 alot lately. And I've seen alot of people use the other weapons (RL 2, RL SP, PC, etc) and It seems to me that not alot of people like the default RL. Now I use the PC SP like its the bestest weapon on the Lost planet 2 game. But I always like'd the RL in a way so I did some pro's and con's about it. And this is like a few minute put together so If I missed something please tell me and I'll look into it Rocket Launcher Pro's and Con's: Pro's: 1 Second fastest heavy weapon (Putting the two hand cannon's together that basicly the same just a little different) 2 Does decent damage even if the target is not dead 3 Longest range heavy weapon in the game 4 Doesn't use T-eng 5 Destorys VS in a longer range to allow you to remain hidden 6 Has the most choice (RL 2, RL SP, Etc) Con's: 1 Limted Ammo 2 Using it long range may miss the target 3 Enemys can hear the missile coming for them 4 Sorta long reloading time.. but not that long to possible get you killed (Well doesn't kill me) Thats all I've come up with... If yall think of anything else tell me please tell me I'd like to know :3 And I don't think it needs adjusting.. You just gotta get good with it i mean.. i sorta had to pratice using a gunsword and a handcannons a bit to fully understand what there made of...

See, my thing is the lag time between reloading. In LP1, I was able to take on 2-3 guys at a time with rocket launchers because I'd roll the first one which would usually cause me to stumble through the next one or two, giving me a chance to pop up and take one out. Rinse and repeat. Facing even two people with plasma cannons is near impossible since there is barely any lag between shots and the invincibility factor doesn't seem to be as heavy as it was in LP1.

I'd think the wanted to take the whole kill a group of people easily with a RL out. I mean it was abused in LP1 to the point where all the matchs where like RL matchs (and a few long range matchs) I haven't really had much experiance with fighting two people with plasma cannons. But I had one where it was 2v2 (my teammate wasn't even helping) and they tryed ganking me. But I got lucky and one of them missed badly enough for me to kill him and dodge the other shot from the other enemy and kill him. Its pretty much comes down to experiance and skill. Some people can use the RL good enough to annoy plasma cannon users. And get the most kills. Just pratice a bit and using the RL would be like waving your own hand ^_^ (Not really but you get the point dangit) Also relying on just the RL prolly isn't a good idea ether.. finding other weapons to sub for the reloading time may help like a machinegun (grenades count but your sitting ducks when you throw it)

Trust me, I'm great with the rocket launcher, but it just seems ineffective. I'll have the highest KDR in an elimination match, but get like third in kills because rockets just aren't fast enough compared to the zero reload speed of the plasma cannons and the projectile velocity of the hand cannons. Rocket launchers just can't put up the numbers despite having a decent explosion, which seems just as big as the regular plasma cannon.

Hmm.. Well it is the beginners weapon. I mean you don't see people use the regular MG once MG 2 and gun sword comes into play. And if you want to just have a normal battle you can always make it where custom weapons are not allowed When I 1st tried the plasma cannon I thought it was crap >< so I used the RL for awhile and did much better then when I had the plasma cannon. I'd choose the RL over the plasma cannon personally. But that's my handle on the weapon. I'm about to play Lost planet 2 in a bit. I'll prolly play with the RL a little more to get a better look on the subject. (I've used the RL a bit but I haven't noticed all the details of it.. I was just more like Shoot the people if they stop moving there dead if not shoot again)

I used each of the heavy weapons. Rocket launcer is useful to me in matches where abilities aren't in use, I prefer to conserve t-eng for vs use, rocket launcer 2 though is bad ass weapon though thanks to it's tracking. That is the big advantage (though the sp version has speed it lacks range...only good for mid range combat). The plasma weapons though unless you have the right abilities though are difficult to manage, i like to spam my weapons because of my crap aiming/dislike auto aim. I start a ranked match, no abilities, managed 5 shots, ran out and se my weapons set were all t-eng based weapons, I couldn't do anything. I actually ran up to an enemy vs and used the gun wave taunt, he sat there and watched...before firing. With abilities on it's still hard to manage, i hate retreating but when you can't fire you can't do anything AT ALL. The t-eng cost has balanced these out, as for the fire rate I do admit it's a tad faster...but the sound? Pfft! Whatever the case, just change your weapons set's and learn to roll, and when out in the open field, do keep watching all around... Just rolling just as an energy ball can netralize it, and I done this before (by dumb luck) with plasma blast... (Off topic-you do complain alot-heck the need for gore in this game isn't needed at all, and i love my violence XD)

Plasma Cannon variants have a 1 second lag time.

But you don't have to reload. If you don't reload your RL while in the air, it doesn't compare to the Plasma Cannons since there's no need for manual reload. I'm not saying to nerf or buff any of the heavy weapons. I don't think Capcom will do any of that anyway.

I used the Plasma Cannon SP the past few heavy weapons matches I did and in one, I even forgot to change my abilities so I had head start ammo on with special guard. That helped me in absolutely no way. Though I didn't get first, I tied for the most kills, overheated my weapon only once, and never ran out of thermal energy. The only time your weapon will overheat is if you fail to even knock down or phase the person with the first shot. If you can aim, there's practically no escape from the SP unless you roll it, but that's how it is with any weapon. When I had T-Eng Weapon Master II on, I got first place with the most kills, never came close to overheating and never came close to running out of thermal energy. I still do better with, and prefer, the Hand Cannon SP, but either way, my stance stands, the original rocket launcher is completely obsolete. There is no tactical advantage to using it over the plasma cannons or the hand cannons. The best weapon in LP1 has become the worst weapon in its class in LP2.

Well it is the first heavy weapon. Like the first machine gun...would you compare it to that? THAT is obsolute if you get machine gun 2 or anything else like the gun sword.
