Q2 rocketlauncher model.. now that was a rocket launcher :icon14:
The rocketlauncher wasn't that bad. The lightning gun model sucked. Especially considering how cool the item-pickup model of the LG looks. In the Q3Test the LG would have this little spark of energy going between it's two "sticks", which they removed from the final game for some reason. At least that gave the LG a littlebit of coolness.
Oh yeah, and the MG didn't rotate in the test, but it looks cool rotating in the final game.

The yremoved it eraser because they were to lazy to add the NoShell shader command, so that the Quad wouldn't draw a flat blue polygon there ;)

They added this in Doom 3 however.
