The TOW vs The GL. these weapon's overlap in a lot of ways (Damage, splash radius, nearly the same travel time) I would like it if the GL got a large splash radius with lowered damage and the Tow received a faster travel speed, or the GL got a larger splash radius while the TOW would get an increase in damage and fast travel speed in order to differentiate the weapons a bit more. What are your thoughts on these weapons_

I feel they are a lot diffrent. Between the projectile speed diffrences and the arc of the gl they dont feel at all alike. Also im pretty sure the gl allready has a larger splash but dont quote me

My dream buff to Grenade Launcher.

Give it the grenade sounds from Quake 2.  Oh I can still hear that bounce noise in my dreams.

I wish at on kill with GL the quote from Demoman from TF2 "Don't run lads. I 'ill be gentle!"

Then when a predator kills a grenadier it can say, "Don't feel bad! You did a fine job of tossing your little balls around!"

What about Scout when dominating rocketeer. "YO I am not wearing a helmet. What is your major malfunction brother_" or "Dissmissed!"

And then hawken becomes TF2 clone... hahaha.

@topic,
I think the devs make the weapon similar since they both are used on a lot of mechs.
Damage increase shouldn't be done on the TOW though, in conjunction with increase in speed...
I've been hit by so many TOWs already by many good players. Give them increase speed and damage and I think they just make TOW their primary weapon instead.
I'm in for increase blast radius and slower speed for GL, while faster flying speed for TOW (lowering or keeping blast radius same doesn't concern me though, since I usually eat them whole. Damn pros)

[Battlesbreak]

Not really if Mechs would let out some sounds like peep, rattle, clanking or something like that voice as they dominates enemy.

Anyway back to topic. I think TOW just needs adjustment because it is just best secondary weapon available for a bit all ranges.
