Isnt that essentially what it is?

The FRG handled more like a grenade launcher, the FRC came across as a rocket launcher-ish type weapon (it did have parabolic trajectory after a decent distance).

Personally, I like the name plasma cannon. With a name like "Fuel Rod Gun/Cannon" you'd expect a little more demolition per punch.

Yeah. I agree with what everyone else has been saying.

well, i have been reading this... EVERYONE HERE SEEMS TO THINK THEIR ARGUING... but their just agreeing with each other and restating each other. anyways, if the CMT does add some kind of an antiaircraft homing fuel rod gun/cannon, i hope its power is somewhat decreased from the normal version. i want to have a challenge even whilst using the greatest weapons in the game

For a final tally though, I'd like to point a few things out:

The Fuel Rod Gun was superior because if was perfectly accurate when fired at about 1 round a second, which is all you really need unless you lack the motor skills to properly aim. Second, the arcing projectiles could be used to flush out an opponent hiding behind cover thick enough to absorb the blast of a head-on shot. If you can't aim the mortar, then that is your problem, because for most people, predicting the arc comes naturally, or they learn very quickly.

The Fuel Rod Cannon's only real advantage was that it was faster to reload than the FRG was to cool down, and that several shots can be placed in the same spot very rapidly. The scope is near useless, since a decent player and AI would be able to dodge that in the time it takes the sluggish fuel rod to reach the target from a distance that warrants using the scope in the first place.

who.gives.a.fuck.

I do.

There, now calm down.

well also there is the fact that the frc isnt in any multiplayer. but i do agree, mortar is better.

This conversation is comparable to publicly announcing that you can't +rep some one for the next 24 hours: NOBODY GIVES A SHIT.
