Hmm it seems other people don't much like the new electro too, so I'll just fuel the discussion with some more gasoline by saying that I never really liked the "point and keep fire button pressed until frag" kind of weapons at all, which is also why I never use the MG in Nexuiz whenever I can avoid it. I liked the old electro very much actually, especially with the electro combo which was very tricky to do right (placing one ball where you think the opponent is going and then detonating it). In my opinion the electro was not at all too similar to the rocket launcher (c'mon, it was BLUE! right?), the rocket launcher was extremely useful for mid-air combat due to secondary detonation and too slow compared to the electro for ground combat (referring to the balance on DCC's plain delight).

+1.

i often said that it does not matter how similare weapons ARE, but how similar they FEEL. hagar, hlac, mg, crylink secondary, rifle secondary feel way more similar that the electro primary and rocket launcher. and, as halogene said, the rocket launcher feels different because of different speed, guided rockets and mid-air explosion.
