  • Quotation from the Wikipedia article regarding 'Fallen Empire: Legions', a FPS similar to the 'Tribes' series.
    Rocket Launcher Specialist: This loadout has two weapons: an upgraded rocket launcher and a chaingun. The upgraded rocket launcher comes with 36 rockets instead of the default of 20. Also, the rocket launcher has the added ability of detonating rockets in mid flight, allowing the user to more easily strike players who are not on the ground with it. Pre-detonated rockets have a wider blast radius than normal ones. Due to the enlarged blast radius of the detonated rockets, the weapon is considered by some to be even better than the Gunner class.

    Appears remarkably characteristic of Nexuiz' breakthrough Rocket Launcker GPM [GamePlay Mechanic]...

    I suppose we were there before Fallen Empire (announced January 2007)... but of course, quite some other games had that before, and be it just as a mod. I actually bet this existed before as a mod for Quake, and for Doom, and for about any other FPS :P
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • Manual detonation is only a catalyst for intended usage method of the Rocket Launcher, directing a rocket at the target, not at the floor, wall or ceiling near the target.
