*If the player uses [[Emile-A239]]'s voice in [[Firefight]], he will occasionally say ''"Someone's gonna pay!"'' when he readies a rocket launcher. This is a reference to the level ''If I Had a Rocket Launcher, I'd Make Someone Pay'' from ''[[Marathon|Marathon 2: Durandal]]'', which, in turn, was named after the [[Wikipedia:Bruce Cockburn|Bruce Cockburn]] song [[Wikipedia:If I Had a Rocket Launcher|''If I Had a Rocket Launcher'']]. | *If the player uses [[Emile-A239]]'s voice in [[Firefight]], he will occasionally say ''"Someone's gonna pay!"'' when he readies a rocket launcher.
