Hmm, I've only got 24 rockets. And I'm usually dead long before I get to

[After all, he has a gun, I'm using slot rockets.]

Well, I tried that, and I unded up with 80% health, 0% armour, and a 
chopper shooting at me. There's also very little cover...

Seriously. Load up Quake II. Open the console. Type "map boss2". Kill 
the Makron. Congratulations, you just completed Q2 in, what, 120 
seconds? Woo.
