I think Frankie said that the rockets would have tracking abilities. I just wonder how much.I Hope it's not as much as the needler.

There are going to be lot's of Hogs' in Halo 2. The Rocket Warthog having homing rockets sounds like a good thing to me. Playing Halo PC shooting rockets while moving fast is really hard. Homing would help that out.

He did say that! It's in one of the weekly updates!!!! It will probably not be as sensitive as the needler though.

I say homing rockets for the Warthog. Since there is going to be a Rocket Hog I want it only on the Hog' because it will make it easier to aim. But I agree if it had homing for the shoulder fired one that would suck.

Homing, but only against certain things and a "lock on" function type thing

Yea, I agree with the lock-on feature. You have to put the reticle on the target for a while until the lock-on feature works. But still only with the Hog' in my opinion.

And it should only lock-on to a vehicles, and maybe Hunters because they're so freaking huge.

It will probably just drift slightly toward the enemy like the plama pistol.

Yea, with how slow the rockets are I think that it should still only have so much homing. Not enough to where it'll follow the target no matter what just enough so that you still have a chance of dodging it.

Yeah, plasma pistol-type-homing, on hogs and *maybe* ghosts, cos they're just bastards.

and hunters are all metally and junk that's what i meant when i sad sholder fired ANTI AIRCRAFT rocket. using one of those on a jackel seems just like a stupid idea and waste of ammo. Anti aircraft rounds (and some vehicle) would seem like a better plan

It would be kind of cool to try and run from those rockets.

YEA COVIES COULD USE EM ON YOU! that would be sweet to try and dodge one of those things but yea i'm guessing that the homing rockets would be human weapons so that blows that theory out but it would be kick ass in multiplayer. but as far as using it in single player on regular covies the original one works fine

Only if it was a plasma-bolt type dodging game or driving away from the rockets that are, in my view at least, way too slow to be rockets. I think they should speed'em up a little too.

However Bungie would do it, it would turn out good though. It probably would have a dissadvantage of somesort if it was shot from the shoulder. Man, Halo 2 is going to be so sweet.
