I go around the world leaving a path of destruction in my wake. When I come to a city, grown men cry and women wail. I collect the skulls of my enemies and display them for all to see.........I also kick puppies. For fun.

I noticed, and I don't know if this has been pointed out before, but in the E3 2004 multiplayer demo (the eight minute one that showed of boarding, dual weilding, and target tracking) that the rocket now has a zoom up to 5x. Find it and watch it again for yourself because when he zoomed in to show off target tracking, a blue "5x" was in the place that used to say "2x" in Halo 1. Don't flame me if this has been brought up before, because I've been on a lot of vacation since E3.

It has been brought up before. If you take a close look though, it doesn't seem to zoom in five times the normal, it still only looks to be two times.

you will be able to zoom in more because of the target tracking system. See farther in order to track on to vehicles i guess

Nice observation, I was about to flame you if you said it has tracking. I heard this from Ash55 also but nice observation nonetheless

yeah, Bondac has a good point, because it looks to be only 2x when he zooms in, but i wonder what was wrong, the graphic or the zoom length in the game? What do you think?

You guys are so oblivious. If you have the pc version i hope you noticed that the sniper rifle is 2x and then 8x. They just calibrated the length in which the zoom actually is in real life. The zoom is not any different just made right.

SB-117

The sniper rifle is 8x zoom on the pc version so that it runs better...

Yes, as snipe assault said I posted this about maybe a month ago and no-one replied then lol. I guess the forums were quiet or something....... I think it was a mistake though a typo maybe altough I dont know how it slipped....

yeah, but do you think it's a mistake on Bungie's part, or do you think the rocket will work exactly like it did in the demo (with a 5x graphic and a somewhat 2x zoom apperance)?

No.

Rocket tracking only works on vehicles. It would be -blam!-matic if it tracked people...its already easy enough to use.
