I'm playing a game of rockets with my friend, and I jump and try to fire my rocket launcher, and my friend shoots the ground beneath me. So I get hit by the explosion, but I'm still alive, and I turn while in midair to shoot him, I have him in my sights, I pull the trigger and fire. All of the sudden, the rocket goes in pretty much the complete opposite direction I wanted it to go! Does this ever happen to you, and why does it happen?

It's called the "Rocket Glitch." It's a glitch in the game that occurs with every gun, although is most noticeable with the Rockets because it usually kills you. Whenever you are moving on two axes (spinning while falling), and try to fire a gun, the bullet will impact where you were originally aiming. You just have to learn to wait it out. If you wait a second after you aim, it will usually fire just fine. However, if you are still turning while you fire, the rockets will glitch almost every time.
