I personally thought the missile pod was a bad idea. The rockets were so much easier to use. You could run around without having your speed cut in half. The amount of ammo in the rocket launcher was perfect, not too much, but the missile pod has too many missiles. That's just my opinion. What do you think?

Rocket Launcher with lockon is excessive when you include the Spartan Laser in the sandbox.
Plus it just removes the skill, the weapon is beast at taking down vehicles, and has no drawback against infantry.

Missile Pod is much better, it has drawbacks and is able to counter vehicles without pushing the balance of the game.

I'd like it better if the missile pod was shot from the shoulder instead of the hip. This makes shooting from behind cover difficult sometimes.

edit: i kinda like the fact that you slow down. You're firing something that should be shot from a helicopter or jet from your hip, even a spartan should have at least a lil trouble moving it.

The missile pod has only two drawbacks: your slow and it can't kill humans as easily, but with the rockets you have to take 1 or 2 seconds to lock on (i think. It's been a while since i played H2.) and by then the vehicle could have turned the corner. So it's kind of balanced, but i understand what you're saying.
