The LAW was perfectly fine before. Now errors are showing up everywhere and people are submitting bugs talking about "invisible LAWs," rockets not registering on the server, etc. and I do believe it's somehow from the startup delay. What if I get down in front of an enemy and hold left-click and he kills me before I could launch the rocket even though I waited 2 seconds (I counted it up to even 3 secs. one time)? My skill has died out with the LAW due to lag, which is a result of the click-wait. Sure it's realistic but it's not worth this junk (and if it's realistic then put it in Realistic Mode!). Get rid of the delay.

Actually, Mr Keron, ur right. I always get blasted by invisible laws. There's no explosion, no sound, i just suddenly burst into a few pieces and the enemy who was carrying the law switches.

The law lag is okay, but invisible laws are getting on my nerves...

Yay, someone who agrees... anyone else?

I seem to remember getting hit by invisible LAWs in every version since it was added.

I think the idea of a short delay is good, but it's too long right now. About 3/4 of a second would be good.

I agree too. I use the LAW as my secondy most of the time, and most of the time, when I killed someone, they went "wtf?!?" or something like that. I used to wonder why. Then one day, as I was happily jetting along on ctf_Run, I blew up in midair. I almost went "Haxor!", when something I'd read here came to my mind and I suddenly realized why nobody had been trying to dodge my LAW missiles. I don't care about the .3 sec delay, but I want the invisible LAWs fixed.

I agree but stop making topics about it, its been discussed.

you made this goddamn topic, in a place where posts count, wtf did you expect?

You know, recently I started to use LAW again, and it became obvious to me that our good old rocket-launcher friend became a real tactical weapon. You won't be racking up kills with it on main routes now, due to the heavy fire you'll be under, but in tunnels and alternative routes where you're going to face one opponent at a time, the LAW shows it's dominance, proving that the start-up time did not nerf it as much as it seems at first glance.

As for the invisible rockets, it's in no way connected with the delay time I believe, but the modifications in the netcode (which is no invisible bullets on long range).

The law shot is invisible %90 of the time i get shot with it.

Mystery

So you got shot 10 times, and all but one were invisible? I don't think so, no need to exagerate.

I like the law now because (Please refrain from swearing)head don't just sit there and suicide themselves when you are on top of them.

I still do that.

I like the LAW the way it is now. The 0.3 secs isn't that much, just have to get used to it. it got kinda buggy in the 1.3 , sometimes it totally doesn't fire but that doesn't happens so often. And I'm pretty sure michal already knows about the invisible LAW shots

Imho, There might be a section 'Im a biatch and I want to complain about the weapon' in the forum

Im always a victim of that invisable law seems like I get nailed with em more then most.

i dont like that because as soon as i spawn in (I use barret main weapon which has fire interval like crazy) i swich quickly to m72 law in 0.2 seconds it finishes the fire interval i shoot but then i have to hold it for like 1 second that stinks!!!!!

Because you had that small chance of surviving if it was visible amirite?

I agree with the original post, however, this should be moved to bugs, methinks....

Now that my friend, is a fan-(Please refrain from swearing)ing-tastic idea.

i agree with the crap you spread out, keron..
but i think there should be a 0.3 sec wait, though.

Cough, weaponeditor, cough...

What the heck? This was originally in The Lounge.

@Captain Ben: I like to think that not too many people are attracted to WMs...

@Mielos: It's more like three times that much if your ping's over 150.

you guys wanna know why? we can't use it close combat, without taking heavy dmg or getting killed by knife so we try our luck and shoot to their base a bit away from screen.
