The '''Original''' is a [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[Weapons#soldierprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Soldier]]. Styled after the Rocket Launcher from ''Quake'', the model of which was used in the {{botignore|original}} ''[[Team Fortress]]'' mod for the [[Soldier (Classic)|Soldier]]'s [[Rocket Launcher (Classic)|Rocket Launcher]] and the [[Pyro (Classic)|Pyro]]'s [[Incendiary Cannon (Classic)|Incendiary Cannon]], it appears as a tan {{botignore|rocket launcher}} with a gray tubular exhaust port, bulky barrel and a gray handle.
 
  
Like in the {{botignore|original}} ''Quake'', the Original's viewmodel is in the center of the screen and rockets launch straight into the crosshair. The world model remains in the same position as the [[Rocket Launcher]].

The '''Original''' is a [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[Weapons#soldierprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Soldier]]. It is based on the [[Rocket Launcher (Classic)|Rocket Launcher]] from the video game ''[[w:Quake (video game)|Quake]]''; a bulky, tan {{botignore|rocket launcher}} with a metallic tubular exhaust port, metallic and tan handles, as well as a distinctive oversized barrel.
 +
 
 +
This weapon functions nearly identically to the [[Rocket Launcher]], except for a few minor changes. As with the Rocket Launcher in ''Quake'', the Original's first-person view model is at the bottom-center of the screen, and its rockets are launched straight ahead of the Soldier, as opposed to being fired at an angle. The Soldier holds the weapon normally in third-person view. The Original also changes several standard weapon sound effects into sounds from the original ''Quake'', such as the Rocket Launcher's switch, firing, reload, and explosion sounds.

This item was awarded in [[Genuine]] quality to players who purchased ''[[Quake 4]]'' on [[Steam]] before 10AM PDT (5PM UTC) on August 8, 2011.

Latest revision as of 11:12, 14 September 2024

What the initial version of TF did have, though, was a Soldier class wielding the original Quake's iconic weapon, the rocket launcher. Now, fifteen years later, thanks to Bethesda and id software you too can wield that same rocket launcher in TF2, original sound effects and all.
Robin Walker

The Original is a promotional primary weapon for the Soldier. It is based on the Rocket Launcher from the video game Quake; a bulky, tan rocket launcher with a metallic tubular exhaust port, metallic and tan handles, as well as a distinctive oversized barrel.

This weapon functions nearly identically to the Rocket Launcher, except for a few minor changes. As with the Rocket Launcher in Quake, the Original's first-person view model is at the bottom-center of the screen, and its rockets are launched straight ahead of the Soldier, as opposed to being fired at an angle. The Soldier holds the weapon normally in third-person view. The Original also changes several standard weapon sound effects into sounds from the original Quake, such as the Rocket Launcher's switch, firing, reload, and explosion sounds.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who purchased Quake 4 on Steam before 10AM PDT (5PM UTC) on August 8, 2011. It was also awarded in Unique quality to players who purchased the Quakecon Bundle before August 6th, 2012 at 10AM PDT.
