In Response To: Re: Is a rocket launcher balanced with a magnum? (thebruce0) True. There were many times in H1 where I would pick up a pistol over a rocket launcher, especially when fighting the Flood. Not only was the ammunition more plentiful, but it was useful in a wider variety of situations. A SPNKR required me to be above and at medium range from my enemies to be useful, whereas I could disable most combat forms with a couple pistol rounds from almost any range. There's much more to take into consideration in design than just raw power. In some of the MP levels, I would much rather have a rocket launcher, but in big open ones, the pistol user would completely dominate at long range, despite taking many more hits for a kill. : And it's not just about weapon power balancing... it's about weapon
: Forerunner weaponry could be super-powerful, above all else, but it should
: I don't think 'over-powered' alone is a good excuse not to allow powerful
