What I mean is this:
[color=white] What is the longest or greatest successful shot you have done with a rocket launcher, plasma grenade or frag grenade in either multiplayer or campaign? [/color]
In campaign: I opened the door at the end of AotCR (the one where all the Covenant come out of) and ran off in the Banshee onto the stone bridge (to the side where the Hunters come out). I fired a rocket (without using the sniper scope to help) and then got the sniper rifle out to follow the rocket. It flew for ages and eventually hit the gold elite (with the sword). It was well sweet
In multiplayer: 8 Player System Link (3 per screen), Sidewinder, Free for all, Normal player and weapon settings, All vehicles.
PS. I know its longwinded but it sets the whole scene and creates the atmosphere.
I was on the raised ridge on the blue side of the canyon (the area with the rockets). I had a rocket launcher and pistol. I looked down to see 2 vehicles battling it out on the canyon floor. It was 2 of the players from the other xbox battling it out in a ghost and warthog. The ghost driver's aim was crap and he kept on missing with the plasma guns, I could see this was getting nowhere.
Just as I was about to send a rocket their way I saw a sniper trail coming from the other raised ridge (red side). Which from what I saw killed the driver (because the ghost stopped moving). It was the 3rd player from the other xbox. The driver of the warthog frantically drove around to avoid the sniper fire (which he did). I ran though the teleport to the sniper and put a frag near his feet (give him a fighting chance and to show my presence!) and then rocketed his body skywards straight after.
Once reloading (and taking the sniper rifle) I took a look down towards the red base to see another ghost charging towards the centre of the map. I then looked for the warthog which was now out of my view, but then stormed back into it and towards the centre of the map.
I could already see a re-match of vehicle wars, but I thought "I won't be the one to spoil this, I'll just spice it up a bit! hahaha!" I grabbed the second rocket launcher (for ammo) and set about sending some rockets in the area that I thought the two would meet. The first 2 flew down but didn't do anything (except startle the players a little).
I reloaded and sent 2 more their way (which was now closer the blue raised ridge than the red). This time I got the sniper rifle out and watched. I had now decided that if the rockets did nothing then I'd take both out with the sniper rifle. The first of the looked totally useless (going in the wrong area) but the second looked promising.
The ghost charged towards the warthog and jumped it (both moving at full speed), but just as the ghost left the warthog, my rocket hit the middle left of the warthog (killing the driver) and sent the ghost in a more upward flight than forward. The ghost driver knew the danger he was in and bailed the ghost immediately (in mid-air) just as he did this I sniped him!
