GOD, PLEASE remove it! This feature has single-handedly ruined every vehicle in the game.
In the previous game, if you got the flag out of the base and into a vehicle, you usually scored. Not now. If you set one foot in a ghost or a hog, you're dead. Vehicles are no longer assets. Now they are merely a liability.
I think the rocket's lock-on ability was created in response to HaloPC's Banshee, which was pretty unstoppable with a good pilot, and many people complained. However, instead of just making the Banshee more vulnerable to small arms fire to balance it, Bungie neutered the Banshee (removed fuel rod cannon and screwed up the handling) and made the rocket launcher lock on to everything. And in doing so, every vehicle in the game suffered.
The end result was a game that is more frustrating and less fun than the first.
EDIT: I would be happy with Tex Mex Matt's solution of "painting" the target.
