Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The M2 Carl Gustav is the second launcher unlocked, available only to engineers. It does less damage against armor than the AT4 and RPG (22% minimum, vs. 33% and 28%), but the rockets fly significantly faster and are more accurate than the RPG-7. The Gustav is more suited for an anti-infantry role than the RPG due to it's much higher splash dammage, and higher accuracy. The Carl Gustav is more suited towards the anti-helicopter role than the RPG-7 because the rocket fired from the Carl Gustav is much faster than the RPG-7 so it has a greater likelihood of hitting its target. In multiplayer any hit with any anti-tank weapon destroys any helicopter. It is also the only rocket launcher that is available for Preston Marlowe to use in the single player campaign. The Carl Gustav is one of the greatest weapons as a helicopter passenger because the fast moving rocket and high splash damage enable it to kill infantry before they notice the incoming rocket. Using the extra explosives perk is advisable because although powerful, the standard ammo is used rather quickly.
