Please get rid of exploding projectiles god dammit

I tried it. The rocket just explodes, too boring...

I like my rockets, so I agree that it really sucks when this happens... but I wouldn't change it. It's a fairly logical occurrence, and the compound explosion should do a lot of damage. I know you are a very experienced player, but I'll just say that in this situation I generally try to 'elevate' the situation. That is, I try to get airborne, and drop rockets safely from above. Sometimes a normal hop/fire is enough to avoid the mortar splash.

kojn,

Yesterday when you had tdm vs janson and jurik, when hagar blew your rocket into your face, I immediately recalled this thread and was like "LOL THE IRONY"

Just out of curiosity, did your line thing disappear or drop?

From what I remember (used an SVN build without cl_autodemo ) the hook didn't disappear; it changed appearance as though I had aimed it elsewhere. The effect looked a bit buggy to me, but I guess you could say the hook just "dropped".

I can already see that exploding projectiles will not be removed anytime soon based on replies to this thread.

However, if you run your own server, use g_balance_rocketlauncher_health 999. The rockets won't explode, but they may be deflected by laser or mortar.
