I am not taking away from the shot, it is a sweet one.

But was it staged?  Which is still badass by all accounts.

Gren is just standing there not moving, from the time the rocket is shot, then once it gets close, then he jumps right into it.

I never saw the whole demo, so I have no idea.

He wasn't standing there; look closely, you'll see that he just comes into the PVS (hence why he "appears" standing), but look at his animation, he's landing a jump from the top of the stairs.

Gren used a 120 or so fov in that demo. (Which can explain why he didn't see it.)

In all fairness, I've gotten fragged at some pretty obvious places just because I wasn't paying attention. And he was in the mega room. Do you HONESTLY expect a rocket to come out of the entrance and hit you?
