Hate 'em. They involve no skill at all...in fact a few members of my clan will NEVER pick up rocket launchers. We still win without 'em, just learn to dodge ;)

then don't use em, but using rockets is a way to kill people quickly and although i understand because i have a friend who uses them a lot, they are a part of the game and whats the aim of the game, to kill, so don't be so bothered by rocket users just find new ways of dealing with them.

Someone set up us the bomb
on XBL i'm Gangsta Assasin

and your point is...? remember, this is a halo 2 forum. maybe you meant to say that there should be a "no rockets" option in Halo 2? if so, you may want to edit the thread title...

Sinple counter to rockets, long range. Being at long range saves you alot... as does being right in their face and ducking before you get shot.

SpartanKing is very right. One thing you need to understand is that every game has to have one weapon that kills almost instantly. The rockets do have their draw backs. For instance...they're not very useful from a distance...and two, they can cause as much harm to yourself as they do the ememy. There are plently of counters for the rocket and can't for the life of me understand why ppl have such a problem with it. A good way to avoid the rocket is not to be caught without it. I often times keep a mental note of where and when the rocket is going to return to prevent ppl from getting it. Another way to actually avoid its shell would be to jump right when you think the guy is going to fire...try and keep yourself as close as you can to him. Chances are he won't use it, because he knows it will kill him too or he won't use it...giving you a kill. Either way...it doesn't end up giving the player anything. Sometimes when I'd play friends I wouldn't fire my weapon at them and get as close to them as I could. When he would fire the rocket, it killed the person giving the player holding it a suicide death...meaning they had to sit out for quite a bit longer.

So as you can see...the rocket really isn't as powerful as you might think. Plus, its great for taking on 3 guys traveling in a tight group. They're stupid to be doing something like that anyway.

Hate 'em.


Well, I am truely sorry for you. I really am. No... no I'm not. If your clan can win without them, why do you care because you are obviously at the godly level of Halo.

EDIT- Oh yeah, and don't give the gun any satisfaction by calling it a rocket launcher. Call it a n00b cannon. (Sorry for the use of the word n00b, captain mod, please don't send a ninja to execute me...)
