in capture-the-flag in halo2, i hear you can't drive with the flag. if that's true, then you will have to tote it a long way (i understand the maps are bigger) or have someone drive you. if someone's driving you, there's a nice, juicy 'double-kill' waiting for an rpg weilding player who's waiting just over the ridge. are vehicles gonna suck to drive when rpg's will be so much more deadly? it seems like they won't miss unless you just left the line of fire (over a hill or behind a mound or something like that).
question, too. yes, it might just be a dumb question- but, will the rpg target tracker track spartans/elites, too? not just vehicles?
i guess if you're on a ghost you could 'boost' when you see that rocket heading your way and maybe outrun it's maximum arch...
hmmm

Vehicles can take more than 1 rocket hit, so I think it's quite fair. (and how are you going to drive whilst holding a flag)

I'll be on my own side.

well as in Rainbow Six 3,they'll probably have an option to toggle Rocket Launchers on/off,because vehicles will be too easy to take out and people will be -blam!- and just use Rocket Launchers

In the Trailor at E3 2004:
It took two JackHammer hits to flip the hog. Another thing is that it won't be like HALO: You fire the JackHammer at the HOG and you either kill or drain the e down to one red dot.
it looked like it was gonig to be more realistic, if you hit the hog, the Hog takes the damage plus some damage to your shields. If you manage to hit the person driving the Hog..then you kill the Person.
you get the point.
I hope its like this or better. so that the one's with true skill win.

i was refering to the fact that you can drive and carry the flag in halo1...
...and, from the looks of the e3 2k4 mp demo, that warthog went flying when it got hit. yea, you just 'might' be still alive enough to flip over your wreck and get your almost dead @$$ in it and take off, but... that next rpg round is already on top of you.

As far as I know the official line on driving with the flag has yet to be confirmed in the final game! If you read secrets of Zanzibar on Bungie.net it actually says "You cant drive if you have the flag in the E3 DEMO!" so maybe you can in the final game!
Also do none of you people "pass" the flag, its a tactic I use a lot of the time! If I grab the flag and have to run it home I'll meet my teammate at the 'port in the middle, toss him the flag and try to hold up the enemy trying to kill me. If I cant drive then I'll just have to do this more often!

When I saw RPG in the question the first thing I thought about was role-playing game! =P I had a mental image of the final fantasy series flying into a Spartans face!

i dont think that it will be too tough because like someone said it can take more than 2 rockets to kill them, and besides, its always hard to get the rocket launcher, and it comes back rarely (least it halo 1 it does)
