DO you guys think that the target tracking on the rocket launcher is going to be better or take the fun out of leading the target?

It'll make it easier for my dad, since that is the only weapon he uses. Anyways, I'm sure that Bungie fans will make a fun game to play with it.

Shadowsnipe, why do you always make two posts? Do you not know how to press the edit button? Like hearing yourself talk?

Anyway, I don't like the looks of it. Unless they've massively powered it down, it'll way overpower the RL. Though from the looks of it, the RL will, at most, take out your shields in one hit. Just some guesswork on my part. If that's the case, it'll be alright.

i dont know.... when i play with my noob cousin (I always win ALWAYS) he always finds some noob like way to get a easy kill cauz he cant kill me any other way so i think Target Tracking on the RL would just be another way to get a noob like kill

You all realize that it only tracks vehicles, right ... right?

So what if you get hit with a Rocket while you're in a vehicle. Just get out and put a cap in his head with your Sniper Rifle. Then drive away laughing. That will teach him.

well, considering it takes at least 3 shots from a rocket to destroy a hog (the launch video has the guy with rocket shoot the elite in hog like 4 times before it blows up, not inclduing the times he missed). I like the idea, because you have to be that much sneakier. And the homing does have its limits on turns, range etc. Its not like aim across the level and shoot.

I don't like the idea of a tracking rocket, even if it's for vehicles. It takes most, if not all, of the guess work to use it.

So far I have heard nothing negative from people that have actually played the game, so I'm not worried at all.

  • 05.14.2004 7:46 PM PDT

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

No because don't you think that whover in the vehicle is going to be trying their damnest to avoid your rocket. I'm sure that Bungie will have a skilled driver be able to dodge the rockets. And for the last time, the rockets aren't HOMING they're LOCK-ON!! Homing is fire and forget, lock-on isn't. And do you really think that the company that made Halo would -blam!- up H2 that easily?

I was also skeptical at first and then I realized the new boost features. tracking RL will only help and not hinder the game. I feel this will even the odds with banshees and it will help take out really fast vehicles like the atv. I also feel that there will be ways to avoid the RL like boosting at a certain time.

Whats going to be really cool is using the rocket launcher while you are in the side seat of the warthog. Will the target tracking work on the warthog's rocket launcher too?
