The homing launcher should be level locked


Recommended Posts

Remember when you had to be rank 100 to have an RPG? Now it seems EVERYONE is using pretty much nothing else since the dlc launcher came out.

 

I really hope it's nerfed and locked, it's far too powerful.

 

If people had simply expressed some self-control and avoided destroying everything on the ground with aircraft (and complete impunity), it might not have resulted in this happening. Now only the truly experienced pilots can swoop down and deal a killing blow without suffering...which is exactly how it should be.

 

Unless you feel that bad sport points should be assigned for killing anyone with aircraft weapons? I'd love to hear your alternatives that keep air griefers restrained while allowing everyone to continue playing on the public servers as one should when playing a multiplayer game. 'Getting god' is sort of a both-way argument, so I don't want to hear that either.

Level locking anything is stupid.. It makes no sense at all.

 

 

And there's no reason to nerf it all.

 

Just sayin'.

An idiotic comment like this proves you haven't been playing since day 1. If you had been, you would not make such stupid comments. Level lock the bitch! Make the scrubs earn their rank and kills the hard way like I had to do!

Yeah, it requires tons of skill and experience to do a loop (in a jet) and outrun the missile until it explodes 20 feet away. Helicopters on the other hand are useless now, I don't even bother calling for them.

I must admit I was surprised when it became available while I was still low leveled, I was being handed my ass right, left and centre in FR and this weapon turned things around for me. It's a pain in the ass when I'm in a Buzzard but I can't be hypocritical, I'm the first to shoot a chopper out the sky if I think it's coming for me.

Wtf does not having a level lock on the HRL have anything to do with how you earned your rank and kills? This weapon is literally the only defense for low levels/ people who do not want to be grief killed by jackasses in air or ground vehicles.

 

They nerfed it with the heist update but yet you people still bitch and moan... seriously there's more threads made about this weapon than any other topic and it's usually because a low level killed a pick that was "torturing" them.

 

Just my opinion but it's fine where it's at.

They didn't nerf it for crap it's still overpowered. And I continually find it amazing how they serve the low rank scum vs the people who put lots of time in. You know what a better defense is? Rank up. There's rockets everywhere. The helicopters are made of tin foil.

Right, it totally got nerfed.

 

"The Homing Launcher has been rebalanced to have increased reload times, reduced firing rate, and an increase to the resilience of large capacity planes against it."

 

Increased reload times, reduced fire rate, and reduced their damage against high capacity planes.

 

Those first two are completely irrelevant when you only need one shot to take down any helicopter. They did nothing to the tracking, speed, or damage of the missile. I'd hardly call that a nerf.

Nevermind level lock, you should search for this topic, it's only just recent.

 

Before honing launcher, I had an RPG, mini gun etc all I had to was play Survival. As long as I didn't join a new session I kept it and was free to use in free roam and owned setting deathmatches.

 

I doubt it will be level locked now.

Haha. I'd love to see his response when he realizes the nerf did nothing to protect/encourage the use of helicopters. The nerf was more of a buff to passenger planes not really a nerf to homing launchers. I agree, not a nerf at all.

L M F A O!

 

I got a lvl 400 and a lvl 280. I`ve been playing since day one like a crack fiend and bought the game again for next gen. So i`ve been playing since day one on both old and current gen.

 

 

Leveling is easy. And leveling locking anything is simply stupid because this game is about the money, honey.

 

 

You complaining about newbies blowing you up with a homing launcher only means you should get better. Maybe you should play more...

Alright bro, get yourself an Annihilator and try to avoid my homing missiles so we can see how good you are. Edited by lol232

Thank you. People only bitch when they get taken down by it, never when it's useful to them... deal with the guns in the game or move on.

 

You guys/ gals can go back and forth bitching at each other about who can do this or that but it will never accomplish a damn thing.

Love how HulioG didn't adress how the changes weren't even a nerf at all. He probably heard it got nerfed somewhere but didn't bother to read what the nerf was. Because if he read the change, I doubt he would have brought it up in the first place considering how little the "nerf" did.

It should have at least had a level lock of 25 or something. I brought along a low level person on a setup once just to get it done and over with...... he gets out the homing launcher and blows up a bunch of Vagos I'm not far away from...... needless to say he killed me.

Oh please, you're saying if something is broken and/or overpowered I should just stop playing the game? If something is too powerful it should be changed. You can't say "it's gta" so everything should be overpowered. The tank was completely outrageous and 100% needed a nerf. To be honest with you I don't ever remember a nerf for the heavy sniper. Care to provide a link?

Point proven, the nerf did nothing so it's completely irrelevant and that's your only response, typical.

i'd rather make helicopters have flares with a 30-60 second cooldown

This could work... but the radicals already have their mind made up, these threads will be made till R* implements a change and it most likely won't be adding flares but taking the nerf bat to anything someone complains about.
