Soldier Etiquette

In light of the new NTF add on, I thought I might as well start this sucker right now.

I notice that some soldiers are stopping in the most inappropriate places to fire their guided missles. Soldiers that stop on packs, next to dispensers, next to sgs, and in doorways are in the way. If you are going to act as a sniper, then at least stand somewhere out of the way. We will all adjust to the new features very fast I'm sure but lets nip this in the bud asap. Thx

P.S. Who's idea was it to make EagleEyes even more ruthless?

This won't help EagleEyes much, You only get 2 rockets per respawn. You have to DIE to get more rockets

yeah and these rockets arent that easy to control

they arent hard to control if you have low lagand i dont think they unbalance the game. defense has the advantage with ntf and this helps take away some of that defensive advantage. although a bit absurd, it is fun as hell to blow away people. i cant wait to see who will be the leader in these kills

These seeker rockets really mean trouble for snipers and sentries. As a sniper I never even see it coming, however, since i've never been a engineer I dont know how it effects their SG's and MG's. All I do to avoid them is back up against a wall the strafe to the side as it gets closer, they have a somewhat wide turn radius and ram the wall.

I usually take minimal dmg, its better than getting splatted. As for effectiveness, it should help lessen the incredible effectiveness of engies and snipers.

Now what about those pyros they could use some help eh?

The rockets effect engineers very much. Now you can't sit behind your sg reparing or refilling it! If the soldier can get his rocket to turn right at the last moment, your toast! Or at least bleeding profusely!

I like them, helps balance the Neo mod a little. If your a sniper drop you antimissle and that will protect ya. One thing I have a gripe and I wish ppl wouldnt do is on avanti trying to kill the opp before the gate opens. Not sure on how thevilles rules apply here. I know grenades are ok but is it ok to remote over before??

i find them easy to controll. What i like about them is on avanti who can go over the top of the gates and kill people

that is fun!after a while we will get used to it. and i think seeing the rockets flying over your head like they are the blue angels is hilarious!!!

Keyword was IF you can get a sniper to build anti-missle defense....

when I play sniper that is the first thing I do. Not only for my safty but my teammates safety. Pretty silly not to build them.

Not to mention with the new laserrocket, with the right conditions, a combo of friendly ARMs/demomen/soldiers can make a sizeable missile barrage.

Well, I finally got those seekers to work for me and found out how much fun they were. Laggy, yes but that helps to diminish the enormous strength these things actually have. I must say the best targets for me HAVE been Engineers and they're great for taking out those mg's.

Wonderful toy!

They're not very good for taking out mg's. I have hit mg's with both missles right in the kisser, and they remained standing. They're best for taking out already injured guns and anyone that's not a HW!
