Rocket launcher because it goes in a straight line. The fuel rod was fun on Halo PC, but I'll still take my rocket. Did you see how the fuel rod acted in Halo 2? That thing was slow as hell.

It is hard to choose. They both are almost the same. No, no. It'd have to be the rocket launcher. It locks on to targets and is easier to aim.

I'm goin with rocket simply because I've never used the feul rod. I think they took the feul rod out of Halo 2 just because people would be saying: "How do you like my rod."

l loved the fuel rod cannon in Halo PC and Halo1. lt was so powerful and had such a devestating affect. When it wizzed by you, you heard it go shoooooooooooowsh! And when it exploded the hole screen shook and the controller vibrated. lt seemd so powerful.

And in Halo PC it was sort of like a mortar. lt arched ,unlike the rocket, which shoots in a straight line. That's what set it off and made it a different, unique, and sometimes very useful weapon.

ln Halo2 the fuel rod cannon is a sissy weapon. lt comes at you like a big, slow, jelly blob. lt makes a stupid noice when you shoot it too; sorta like someone spitting on the ground. ln Halo1 there was a huge booming BWAAAACK! BOOM! But Halo2 made it suck...alot.

Sure there's alot of ammo for it, but you only get the weapon in a few levels anyway. And the levels you can get it in, there's no vehicles or stuff to blow up with it! Correct me if l am wrong but you get the fuel rod cannon only in The Arbiter, The Oracle, Gravemind, and The Uprising. Ok fine you get to blow up stuff with the fuel rod cannon in the tunnel at the end of uprising, but that's it!

Another problem l've got with the fuel rod cannon is that it is sorta yellowish-brown color. lt was purple in Halo1 and HaloPC wasn't it? Why change the color? lt's not a big deal but it just looks weird compared to the purple-ish glow of the other Cevenant weapons.

It expands because the fuel in the air around it blows up and makes it explosive. The fuel rod ignites in the air, so to speak.

It was slow, but it held 30 fuel rods, had a scope, and took two to kill.

i like the fuel rod because you can quickly fill a room with green death, and just looks cool.

It does look awesome.

EDIT: Hey Sgt. Murder, look at this:

Don't ask me silly guestions,
I won't play silly games,
I'm just a simple choo-choo train,
And I'll always be the same.

I only want to race along
Beneath the bright blue sky,
And a happy choo-choo train
Until the day I die.

What do you mean to strong both of them will kill you in on shot just from the blast radius so i would have to go with the fuel rod but not because of it being to strong but because of it abundent ( however u spell that damn word) ammo supply.

Wasnt this a halo 1 forum? In halo 1 the rocket launcher had no lock on, 10 total rockets and did alot of damage. The fuel rod gun didnt have rounds, just energy and would shoot 4-5 rounds before overheating. If i had my choice i would choose the fuel rod gun because it is just so fun to use, and it feels more natural to arch the thing and i hit targets way better with the mortar fire.

it would be cool if rockets in multiplayer only had lock-on for banshees (or maybe not at all) te skill needed in halo 1 to predict where the other guy was gonna go made it so much funner.


what?

oh uh my choice is the rocket launcher (halo 1 version) tho the cannon is still fun as well. but you cant use it in either multiplayer

Wow. I think you've just got me off playing Halo for at least 2 weeks. Seriously. I'm scarred. *Blinks, trying to push thought out of head...Goes deeper* Argh! I want to scream!

In CTF? Fuel rod. It is THE BEST way to distract your opponents. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you see a steady stream of green light firing at your base, some of it hitting you and taking a chunk out of your life, what are you going to do? Everyone will, of course, attack the fuel rod guy; in the meantime a warthog/other vehicle will slip in, grab the flag, and run to the other base. Often the fuel rod gunner lives to be able to grab the flag after his team scores!

For slayer, if you have a choice of going up against someone with a RL or a FRG, and you get to pick one of the two, and he gets stuck with the other, I'd be pretty happy with the RL. If you get a good shot off, there's nothing he can do. But if you miss, you have to wait for the couple seconds he shoots you with his green death for the second rocket to be ready for firing.

I'll go with rocket. the fule rod is not that geat it takes more than one shot to kill a person with it. as for the rocket you dont even have to get a head on shot to kill someone with it. it can blow 5 feet to the side of them and they still die. and the rocket is realy good as an anti tank and hog weapon. i just hate the fule rod because you can never hit anything at a long range with all becaus the thing arches after you shoot it.
