: Cool. Many thanks. I'll add your file to the M2 Preview page. I remember at
: the time this was released that people (including myself) were critical of
: the new weapons, not knowing of course that this version was really more
: akin to a beta. The rocket launcher, in particular, bore more resemblance
: to a movie camera than an actual weapon.
: Cheers

As Hopper mentions on the Pfhorums, his efforts were inspired by my recent Aleph One plugin on Simplici7y, featuring M2 Preview textures extracted through screenshots. The textures were rather off-color, thanks to the in-game resolution, but now they can be played in their full-color glory. (Thanks Hopper!)
You can get your M2 Preview Textures Plugin here on Simplici7y.
And on the subject of the Rocket Launcher, perhaps the M2 Manual text reflects on Bungie's decision on it's final design. "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar". A majorly explosive cigar. ;)
