    It's a video game where there's a mission in which you have to destroy a missile silo. But the silo tracks you and fires a missile right at your location every several seconds. It makes a loud boom sound in the distance every time it fires. And it stops firing once you get to a close enough distance.

    I'm pretty sure it's an open world game, perhaps a bit like Just Cause? This might be some Mandela effect shit because I'm not even 100% sure this game exists.

    Oh dang, this rings a bell!!!

    Any idea of what year you first encountered this game? Also what console it might have been on?

    My mind first jumped to Siphon Filter, but I didn’t find footage of a silo that launches missiles at you.

      You sure it's not just one of the Just Cause games?

          Something similar was in one of the last Serious Sam games.

              Are you positive it isn't Just Cause 4? Because that's the first thing that comes to mind for me.

                            Its definitely not a retro game. PlayStation/Xbox/PC, probably no more than 20 years old

                              No, those aren't the name. I'll know it when I see it, so keep trying.

                                Just Cause 2 has a mission, where someone launches 3 rockets (or satellites?). You destroy 2 on foot, but the third one launches, then you have to steal a jet plane and destroy that rocket before it reaches the orbit. Pretty cool mission.

                                But it does not match the rest of your description.

                                    They mean viewpoint. Was it a first person camera game, were you seeing your character top down, was it a side scrolling platformer, etc.

                                        People today think ps1 is retro.

                                          There might be a mission in one of the Gears of Wars like this. It sounds vaguely familiar.
