    Yes, everyone's favorite distance-damage weapon is back! As usual, you'll only want to fire rockets at targets that are fairly far away and that can't dodge really fast. If a rocket detonates too close to you, you'll feel it! After you receive a weapon upgrade for it, the launcher will have a clip of three rockets that can be fired and reloaded very quickly, plus you can hold the altfire (zoom) key and move around to guide *all* of the rockets that you've fired and that are still unexploded.
