Idea for Javelin

(blisteringOwlNest) #1

I think a cool way to make javelin unique would be to give them Valkyrie rockets, so when fired, the player takes control of the rocket and steers it with the mouse. Give it a 5 sec fuse or exploding in impact / with right mouse button, and make it do 170 dmg on direct hit and 110 splash with extreme fall off.

The sights could be a little screen with the rockets view, and you have to aim before you fire. Give the rocket a speed of 430 or so, and 50 hp and then people can shoot it down, giving them a counter play. Cool down could be around 30 secs.

Not to be nit-picking but despite what CoD would have you believe, rockets by definition are NOT guided projectiles. If they are, they are called missiles.

That being said, we don’t have so far a direct fire explosive ability like the classic panzerfaust, so what is wrong with Javelin filling out that role?

Sorry about the technicalities there, I guess I meant missiles.

And to be honest I’d be fine with having Javelin be like that, but for whatever reason SD seem to have a problem with it. This is simply an alternative that I think would work well. I don’t know if they’re simply changing the stats or it is the concept of the rocket launcher that bothers them, but if its the second, I think missiles would be an extremely fun alternative.

Who cares, just release turtle already.
