Why do people insist that "EVERYTHING IN HALO 1 TOOK SKILL LIKE LAWL"? No it didn't the rocket launcher infact killed many people, it had a larger plast radius and killed easier, it is weakened in Halo 2 but componsates with speed.

I think the Halo 3 rocket should be like halo 2's, I just had a better feel for it.

great another grenade post, only with rockets
it takes more skill in ahlo 2 to get a rocket kill anyway, smaller blast
i agree with the post above, stop with the halo 1 had more skill, the thing didn't even have live so how are you so sure about that mabe you've never seen how little skill a halo 1 rocket kill takes on halo pc but i tell you it's easier than halo 2 ?

And remove the auto-aim. Too many times in Halo 2 has my aim with a rocket launcher been thrown off by someone simply jumping or moving. I remember one game in Ascention that I was going to shoot the small ledge right behind my target. He jumped, and the shot went clear off the map as it pulled my aim up.

I thought it was faster in Halo 1...? Wait, no... eh...
But it definately felt like it had more power in HaloCE.

i rather have the blast radius larger than having the speed so high that its impossile to avoid
You obviosuly have no taste for realisitc weapons nor have any skill. I have avoided many rockets, as long as the enemy doesn't fire at your feet, you can pretty much avoid it. Same deal in Halo 1.

Another one?! WTF is this? N00B galore?

Yes.

The explosion should be like Halo's. It was more realistic and felt more powerful. Either way, one hit with it means you're dead(although in Halo 2, you can jump aside and it won't do as much damage).

Halo CE = Lan party
Halo 2 = Live
The reason so many people think halo 2 takes no skill is because in halo ce the only competition were friends in the next room. when the same people get on live, they realize they are no where close to being the best and therefore blame their loss on unbalance in the weapons and game.

The rockets need to be removed from multiplayer, if you can't killa tank or any vehicle for that matter, you suck!

One the rocket should be fast. For god's sake its a rocket! Last time I checked they went pretty fast, otherwise how could they catch flying objects such as jets?
Both versions of the rockets in Halo are unrealistic. Combine the two, H:CE's power and H2's speed and you get close to reality.

That said. Its a game, reality doesn't count. The rockets are fine and everyone is still going to play the game no matter what happens to them anyway. So stop the whining and just play.

So wait because we played Halo 1 with friends that means it really isn't harder to 3 shot than it is to 4 shot? WOW ok. I agree rate of fire is a little fast but the biggest problem is that the aimer turns red when you aim at a guy and the rocket will fly off in random directions. The rocket should go where you aim it, none of this reticle turning red business.

But dude we played with our friends and we would pwn them so we thought we were good and somehow this has something to do with H2 taking skill. We blame inbalances when clearly H2 is devoid of any such thing. Rrrrrriiiiigggggghhhhhttt.

RitterMaverick is right. Halo's Rocket Launcher is nothing compared to reality. In reality, you only see a puff of white smoke as a RPG is launched. You should be thanking Bungie you can actually see a rocket coming your way and have a few seconds to try to dodge it.
