Personally I like the rocket launcher for only one reason: Taking down vehicles, and you should not be able to use them for anything else, (For example constantly camping with the rockets in Ivory tower,) Because you will get this one invincible person holding onto the rockets like it's dear life. Anyone else think so?

Locking on vehicles is way 2 easy. You cant get in a vehicle on certain maps if the enemy has a rocket.

While this may be true, just think about the Banshee without the rocket lockon feature.

Rockets seem basically perfect in Halo 2. Just don't have them on small maps like Beaver Creek where the enemy doesn't really stand a chance against them.

Its a rocket launcher its going to be one of the strongest weapons

in most FPSs the rocket launcher is something to look out for and try to keep of your team

There should be a delay between firing rockets. There's nothing worse than when someone misses you with a rocket only to shoot you again...

Also, they should only track Banshees.

The blast radius should be greater... its a rocket launcher... it feels more like a bottle rocket right now.

Or at least should give off shrappnel damage.

rocket launcher locking on to vehicles makes it too easy... i think it should lock onto the banshee only cause the banshee would be impossible to destroy unless you are in a vehicle if the rocket didnt lock onto it and the banshee can manuver around the rocket

i just think it's funny how people complain about the rockets being cheap on small maps......... until they have them on the small maps.
btw, it's a lot of fun to kill Chief "Camps with Rockets" with an smg.

Dumbass has it right completely, this is the problem with most people. For instance--

You hate the sword, it's the worst thing ever, untill you get it, YES!! You love it.
The rockets, cheap, n00b weapon, and then you get them, they're the best, you're unstoppable.

You see? No one is ever content with a weapon. I agree that they shouldnt be on some maps, but it was made to be a good weapon, not something toned down that you could be hit with several times. So you just have to learn what to do to combat the rocket launcher. I can beat someone with a rocket launcher, it's hard, but I eventually gain the upper hand.

Also, they should only track Banshees.

That would make no sense.

'Here you go cheif. Have this rocket launcher to take out the tanks. but, we've 'upgraded' it since you last used it. Now you can't track tanks or ghosts! But you can still track banshees! How sportsmanly are we?'

In all seriousness, aside from the obvious continuity problems involved with changing the feature set of a weapon from game to game, it makes it a LOT harder to take out opposing vehicles.

Bungie intentionally added both boarding and the rocket lock-on to give infantry a better chance against well-driven vehicles. For example, in Halo 1, you could be running and jumping out of the way of a poorly driven warthog for ages, only for them to stop, back into you and instantly kill you. At least in Halo 2 you can board a poorly driven vehicle.

The Rocket lock-on is included for a similar reason. But against better driven vehicles. In Halo 1 you could miss several times in a row against an expertly driven warthog with a rocket. Halo 2 gives you a much better chance.

Besides, its a rocket launcher with a target lock-on, not a surface to air missile.

don't change it at all. Any downgrade and it'll feel weak. Any upgrade and it'll be too powerful.

Or you just learn how to avoid the rockets? Care to explain which maps?
