Direct Hit crits when you are in the air, no matter waht. Even if the rocket hit the ground, it crits.


I hope they fix this.

Nobody can deny that, measured solely by their ability to blow people into chunky clouds of tomato soup, rockets are an incredible force for good in the world. But with their wide blast radius, they are not a particularly terrific weapon for showing off your sharpshooting skills.

Until now. A high precision version of the standard-issue rocket launcher, the Direct Hit has been engineered from the ground up for Soldiers who have mastered the art of shooting at their targets instead of vaguely near them. Those of you looking to deal splash damage, stop reading now: the Direct Hit has a 70% smaller blast radius than a traditional rocket launcher. But the rockets that come out of this thing move fast and hit hard: 80% faster and with 25% more destructive force. Best of all, for you real sharpshooters, the Direct Hit guarantees mini-crits on airborne targets.

It's a feature, not a bug.  They didn't say anything about how you get hit by it.

If it's intentional, that's even more gay.

You use the word gay as a negative adjective.  Why is it so wrong to be gay?

But gay people can be hot.

[Honest]

Speaking of gay people.

I don't check the forum too often, (Though I'm slowly getting back into the habit of it, miss you all! <3) but Geoff informed me there was an excessive amount of QQ here.

So shut up about the damn new weapons, we all know what'll happen. You'll complain for a week, figure out the weapons are completely terrible and easy to fight against, go back to playing, then complain about the next update.

No, I don't care about your arguments as to why Valve FOR SRSLY FUCKED THIS UPDATE UP.

I've heard it every damn update and it's the same thing. Play the game. This is Honest / SUPER MACHO MAN saying shut up.

Its been pretty even overall, and I'm not going to single out anything in particular, but given the track record, I'd say they'll buff 2 items to make them more worth switching out, 2 will get hit with a nerf bat, and 2 will be left unchanged.

Feel free to correct any of my changes above as I might have missed something.

I expected the Welcome Back Cotter song but this is ok too.

Well I can't stand the DH lol Seemed that I was doing barely the damage I should be something with it supposed to be hitting harder and with practically zero splash damage, you waste a rocket if you miss. To me the normal rocket just seems better overall.  Not even fun to use either which means I'll probably rarely touch it.

[Versus]

Spy Update:
Ambassador: Nerf - Can not headshot crit unless it cools down and is 5x harder to headshot with in the first place

[Turtle]

Hey Honest welcome back you missed quite a bit like the fact i changed my name and made more drama.

I will not rest until this place is just like All My Children but with more slaps

[KarthXLR]

VALVE SUCKS

Dang honest, could you check the forums in less than 4 months next time?

[Wedge]

I haven't had trouble dealing with any of the new stuff.  The speed buff on the Equalizer is probably a biiiiit much, but otherwise yeah.  The Direct Hit is probably the best balanced lateral trade in the pack too.

As long as they took off the mini-crits with the DR, I'd be fine.

mmm dont see why because it's not easy to airshot or anything

it would be better if they took off minicrits if it hits you while youre jumping

[zaneyard]

any good soldier is going to rip you apart if you jump while he's shooting at you anyway

[beep beep diglett]

[zaneyard]

[copulatingduck]

What if I were to tell you that the Engineer update would be...
Wrench Replacement: Texan Flag- a Texan flag thats also on fire btw it kills ppl when you melee it lol and puts your machines on fire too(get it cause hes from texas)

SG Replacement: Pecan Pie- takes 3 mins to cook but it shoots out pecans at them lol cause hes from texas
