E1M1, at the respawn point near the single-player start.  How do I acquire
the necessary skill to respawn there with a rocket launcher in hand?  Someone
did that to me today.  I don't think there are any teleporters on E1M1 that
go to that point, and this wasn't his first spawning after the level started,
so he didn't bring the RL from the previous level.

He did telefrag someone standing on the respawn point, but they had just
respawned there, so they shouldn't have had a RL.

I can't say for sure that there was no pack with RL on that point when the
first guy respawned, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't.

I won't rule out a bug, though.  I'm sure Quake has weapons bugs (e.g., I've
been fighting someone who has a RL and I don't, and I'm standing right next
to them.  I've seen Quake give me their RL *before* they die, so that I kill
them with their RL, and then die myself because I was standing to close).
