Is.. is that a rocket launcher with a scope? Who the hell puts a scope on a rocket launcher?

EDIT: Image was a bit big, changed to link.

I think if you want to sinpe someone, and you enjoy rockets, a scope would work out well.

Headshot! 10+ points!
Splash Damage Kill! 5+ points!

Why not?

Who cares?! He looks badass holding it.

You should have just asked on IRC or something. It's not really thread-worthy.

 

[clairebun]

I sort of agree, not that it really matters much.

 

[Miyosaki]

while having a scope-rocket launcher would be cool, the game did not use any 1st person shooting. so basically the "scope" could be the laser targeting system thing.

A tad old. I've heard about this game since 2007 IIRC.

Sega?

Try it: http://sonic.sega.jp/shadow and http://www2.sega.com/gamesite/shadow/base.html (check out there some pics).

The pic itself is impressive (if I were a new Sonic player), but I can't say anything about the game.

(sorry for my ignorance, I haven't played Sonic since Sonic 1 or 2)

Look at this I've just downloaded there: http://yfrog.com/47shadowwp021024x768j

Which was a waste of money to impress people once again.

The game was ok in gameplay wise but the graphics were too shiny and they keep saying the one word if you guys remember.

But anyways why didnt i notice shadow with a rocket luancher with a scope.
I need a weapon like that.

I dunno, I recall in Metal Arms it was possible to combine the Scope with the Upgraded Rocket Launcher. In practice it was fairly useful.

RPG-7. A rocket launcher with a scope.

EDIT: Well, Rocket Propelled Grenade, but it's rocket powered, so I guess it's fine.

I don't really see how it could be. Accuracy doesn't matter that much since there's splash damage.

The rocket affords you a long range explosive, and you still have to have the thing hit around them for that splash damage to mean anything. So naturally, a scope would be useful here.

Have you ever played games like James Bond? Simple wrong movements could mess the whole thing up.(As 1 space up or 1 space down) Accuracy would be PERFECT with the scope.

You get the gun as a special weapon when you beat all 10 endings and the last story.

For all we know, it may just be the "Shadow Gun" and not truly exist, I definitely can't find it anywhere.

I think the shells power would be less effective than it's elder brother. So yea... it's just a fanciful grenade launcher though

It's in the special boxes with the otehr weapons. It kills all enemies other than Artificial Chaos.

I think he meant by "Shadow gun" is you can only get that gun in ShTH. And not in the real world. Not that you can't get it in the game...

Yeah, that was what I was trying to say. The gun does kind of look like something out of a sci-fi movie.
