So random topics to discuss:
All work in progress and likely to continue being iterated on or changed entirely. Discuss. :P
@RZE - Today at 5:12 AM (AWST)
"So, in UT there will be both Bio Launcher and Bio Rifle? One is not replacing the other?" - We've confirmed having a Bio-Rifle so far. The Launcher was a experiement to replace it with a newer more interesting weapon. That weapon is slowly becoming something more like a lob weapon that will fill that role all together. I imagine Bio-Launcher will go away if the new launcher is good.

"Or rather more similar to bio launcher and we wont have rocket grenades anymore?" - Rocket Grenades are gone

My initial thoughts:
@RZE - Today at 5:08 AM (AWST)
So random topics to discuss:
- Rocket Launcher now only has Primary fire and Secondary fire without additional modes. There are no longer a grenade function on the RL. This means secondary is only the charge up 3 and fire mode now.
- Bio-Launcher has been converted to a Grenade Launcher that we're prototyping. Similar Primary functions but trying to find something more lob based and less about the auto Web for the secondary.
- Bio-Rifle is still a thing that functions like older games and Kazeo is doing an amazing model on the forums.
- Stinger Alt fire is still in super flux and has gone through a few experiements as well.
- Link Gun is still seeing more tweaks for damage and functionality on the primary and overheat mechanic.
All work in progress and likely to continue being iterated on or changed entirely. Discuss. :P

My initial thoughts:
- For new people coming into the series, having grenades as a secondary fire is cumbersome. It's not as instant as it needs to be.
- RL Grenades served as a great way to cancel a rocket launch if required. ie: loaded up some rockets, but cannot fire in intended direction now for some reason. So losing them is slightly annoying, but not a deal breaker
- since we are going down this path, could we look at making it such that if you hold down the primary fire you could remote control the angle of the rocket after firing
