The one in HL is a grenade launcher (RPG).
A real rocket launcher has rockets the size of the launcher itself, it's rockets on the picture. I mean, look at the video. That thing is defintly a rocket launcher, not a RPG.
RPG stands for Rocket Propelled Grenade. Technically "rocket launcher" and "grenade launcher" are correct terms for the RPG.moppe said:Have you guys ever seen a real rocket launcher?

The coastline one. I've never said that you didn't. Sorry if I got misunderstood.Brian Damage said:Which video? Tunnels with the unidentified gun, or Coastline with the new-model RPG (And yes, some of us do know what an RPG is)?

True, that is good.Brian Damage said:And it seems to be more realistic now, if you watch Coastline...
[EDIT] By which I mean, it doesn't go for the absolute end point of the laser beam, it goes for where the beam actually hits... which means that it can loop back if it misses the target...

What? Oh no... don't tell me you...ailevation said::hmph: Sometimes the Gunship will shoot down the rocket propelled grenade, SO COOL!
Cutey_Kaite said:didnt we already have a thread about this a couple of months back. And we decided that its a torpedo for some weapon that we haven't seen yet?
Thankyou, I was afraid to put it that bluntly.Mechagodzilla said:ailevation:
NO SPOILERS FROM THE BETA
Mechagodzilla said:Ah, so it's an Anti-tank grenade launcher, as opposed to Anti-personnel.
The ability to have it loop around is extremely cool.
Did anyone also notice that the gunship enters a "dodge mode" when the first rocket is fired, in which it stops shooting, and concentrates on strafing away from the rocket?
That's cool AI, especially when compared to the helicopters in HL1.
