when i target someone with targetting laser, it locks on him.
and my teammate who has chasable weapon (like rocket launcher or stinger missile) fires near the laser points,
then rocket chases target. very simple!!
how about this idea??

(from Tribes2 and Battlefield)

I like it !! Like an IR designator system and would give the targeting laser some real use. Could be abused though... perhaps? Might take some tweaking?

another idea to add to this From tribes ascend. if you're on a kill streak have a ammo station drop or at the target laser or a ammo station materialize were you point the laser

there was a version of Shifter TG that had a similar functionality

You pointed the laser, and if you held it for 15 seconds grenades would spawn from the air and drop onto the target.

It was pretty strong, it dropped 6 or 7 grenades really fast and could take out turrets and seriously damage deployable bunkers. But you would usually get killed before 15 seconds were up :D
