FEET FIRST INTO HELL

Hey remember halo 2's lock on with the rocket launcher, what the hell happened to it?The missile pod has lock on, why can't a rocket, I mean it only has like what 6 rockets with full ammo? Anyways, do you think it would be a good idea to bring it back in ODST, I mean killing wraiths and banshees would be a hell of a lot easier.
Thoughts?

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing?Then whence cometh evil?Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?"

I don't think it will. I think they took it off because of the spartan laser.

It basically meant getting into a vehicle was instant death. 1 hit with a rocket that locked on that well and you were done. Not much you could do in the way of avoiding it, either.

-I was here

i dont need lock on with arocket launcher, chances are, if ur far away from a tank, it wont be moving alot, so u could just put some rockets into it b4 it moves. as for close range, its hard to avoid a rocket when its close to u so it will still be reletivly easy to kill. as for a faster vehicle like a ghost or a banshee, a laser could always be used to lead it, so u wouldnt need a rocket launcher. oh and if u do need lock on with out a missle pod, use a fuel rod gun... they have slight lock on capabilitys if u need em

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

The missle pod? That thing isn't too useful. The tracking system always hits terrain, the missles have no splash damage, and they're weak.

They got rid of the lock-on rocket and gave us the laser and missle pod. Missle pod for air targets/tanks. Laser for faster vehicles.

I really loved the locking on rocket launcher, especially the WAY it locked on. hold down trigger, four triangles, awesome sound. those were the days....

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

I don't understand why people are like, "It was in Halo 2 and was taken out of Halo 3 because of the timeline."

No, it was just taken out like it never existed. Besides, we've got the missile pod.

What's hot, sexy and purple?

Ayane (and the Wraith :-D)

Some weapons in Halo 2 were overpowered as hell. Such as the semi-auto-sniper called "BR" or the rocket launcher with its lock-on feature.

The Halo 2 Rocket launcher will never return because it would make the game to easy. Besides, we have the splaser and missile pod for vehicels.

Buckle Up: It's makes it harder for the Covenant to suck you up.

The Missle Pod replace the lock-on. And the Laser was also added. I'm actually really glad the Rocket Lock-On is gone.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

but the missiles are much easier to avoid than the halo 2 rockets.

The missile pod is far more balanced, the lock on is less accurate and it takes two direct hit to destroy a Warthog, plus it slows you down whilst you're carrying it.

That's why you also have the laser.
