Increase the splash dmg back to something similar to Halo 1, to prevent whoring it at point blank. Limited locking only on banshee, remove it for all ground vehicles. If it is homing, then at least make it able to be dodged other than pure luck. Give the firing sound more base, and give the gun its feeling of weight back. Increase time between refire rate.

Make the explosion radius larger to punish careless shooting at close range. Reduce the homing so skillful driving can allow you to evade it. And increase the chamber time so the second shot can't be fired as quickly.

Wow. That really makes you seem like a "pro". Really.

I think the Rocket Launcher should have homing still, it was a cool feature. (And the Covenant vehicles should still have boost etc.)

Make you walk slower if you have rocket launcher, Make better aim if you crouch (they have to do that with all zoom weapons)

Make it so it can lock on to players, i would love to have a rocket chasing me and i could lead it into a group of my teammates. But i am not an MLG Pro so my opinion does not matter according to the creator of this thread *tears up*

There isn't much to improve, just splash damage area. Reload could be reduce a little. Keep the homing.

The rockets should travel faster and take longer to reload. Also the recoil of the massive 102 mil should take your shields down a bit.

Basicly, make it like halo 1's rocket launcher, no homing. I just remember all the times the worthog is getting away with the flag, everybody yelling, you have one rocket left and its all up to you. You lead your shot just perfect and BOOOM!! Direct hit! 3 guys dead and the flag returned! In halo 2 it would just be like, LOL the noob grabed the flag *target lock, fire, dead* yay. Maybe have target tracking only for flying vehicles becasue with some skill you can do a barrel roll and dodge it.

I agree. And if they make the vehicles health separate from the occupants, it may be possible remove it all together or make homing weaker and the lock on take longer.

To make it more balanced, I think that both the fire rate and the reload time should be lengthened. Of course, by definition, that makes it worse...but I don't think the rocket should be made any easier for novices to use. I was probably the best person with the rocket amongst my friends in Halo CE, but thats not b/c I was a so-called "newb" (which, lets minimize its use thank you), it was b/c I actually (here's the thing) PRACTICED and LEARNED the rate at which the rocket traveled. So I was able to kill people not only close, but at medium and on occasions great long distances as well.

So other than that, I think Bungie should make an option in multiplayer whether or not to make the rockets on map to have vehicle tracking. Again, this is one of those moves that ended up irritating me b/c I was really good at hitting vehicles with rockets in CE, which had no tracking for those who didn't know. It's a lot more fun when vehicles aren't pracically guaranteed to be destroyed when a rocket is fired...that's all...so make target tracking an option for RL's in multiplayer, please Bungie.

I think they should let us dual wield rocket launchers..........and bring back the old pistol..............and fix the needler..............and limit the charge on the sword............and take out the combo...............and fix the spawn points..........and get rid of modders, delevelers, glitchers, standby cheaters and pink armor.

indiana like wtf are you mantally retarded your callin us noobs that can actually use battle rifles and rocket launchers with built in over shields oh yes u gott be a halo pro to use those

  • 05.11.2006 10:59 AM PDT

I miss the mark of shame on my shoulder. :(

I wouldn't make it firs slower, but I'd slow the reload time. You can still get off two shots quickly, but it would be harder too continue shooting. It would give you a chance to take out rocket man and decrease it's power weapon status slightly.
