Rocket Launchers are now available in Planetside 2. This is just one of the latest updates from Sony Online Entertainment's massively multiplayer online first-person-shooting game. You want Rocket Launchers to blast your enemies away then you got them. Also, the addition of Rocket Launchers in Planetside 2 will definitely add new tactics and strategies to the game.
Sounds cool right? Yes, it's definitely cool but the movement of the rocket is very limited. It won't do 180 degree turns and it has a very short range. It's also a one shot reload weapon with at least 5 seconds of reload time. So, spamming rockets is out of the question. LOL!
Another type of Rocket Launcher has the ability to lock-on its target making all shots or rockets fired hit. This one is somewhat better than the other type of Rocket Launcher because it's more accurate and more destructive. Unfortunately, locking on to your target takes a couple of seconds and that can leave you wide open.
Rocket Launchers also have limited range which means, long distances can make them pretty useless. Your Rocket Launchers usefulness relies on how close you can get to your target and, in Planetside 2, getting close enough to fire-off a few shots is very, very difficult. You can end up dead from trying.
Rocket Launchers are really awesome. If used properly then Rocket Launchers can really do a lot of damage. In fact, they can even turn the tide of battles. Of course, having a powerful weapon doesn't always guarantee victory specially if you don't know how to use it.
Anyway, for your thoughts, views, opinions and comments, please don't hesitate to share them below.

What Makes Rocket Launchers Different?
Rocket Launchers in Planetside 2 are different from other weapon types in the game because of the fact that each one is different. For example, in one type of Rocket Launcher, you can control the direction or path of the rocket. After shooting the Rocket Launcher, you'll immediately switch to the rocket's camera view and guide it accordingly to your target.Sounds cool right?

Damage Dealt
Rocket Launchers deal decent damage to vehicles. You can take out a Sunderer with full health easily with Rocket Launchers. Take note, Sunderers are very heavily armored. It takes a barrage of shots to take one Sunderer down. With Rocket Launchers, Sunderers are now somewhat more vulnerable but you'll still have to get close enough to shoot one and that is not an easy task.Are Rocket Launchers OP?
Rocket Launchers are indeed powerful but they also have their drawbacks. For example, Guided Rockets are countered by simply shooting them down while Locked Rockets are countered with Flares and other forms of countermeasures.Rocket Launchers also have limited range which means, long distances can make them pretty useless.
