Subject: Rocket Hog..?

i have never played halo on computor but i had to say this....

isnt the roket hog a bit dumb...??
I mean the warthog is a LRV. it's used for scouting... and how can a rocket hog fight fast moving infantry?? even if it did have the lock-on feature of halo 2 it still would have a tough time with infantry....

it seems it was just made for the sake of it.....
what are your thoughts??

I like it for storming bases, especially sidewinder, it's very effective against anything at close range. And other hogs are easy to hit because they tend to follow a simple trajectory.... forward, and it kills everyone riding.

Rocket Hog...to be honest, I've always preferred the rapid-fire of the Chaingun. Never really been a fan of firing out three rockets, then waiting those 4 or so agonizing seconds while it reloads.

No, it's perfectly fine. Think about it - a rocket hog isn't meant to fight infantry, of course. Rockets are meant for vehicles, not foot soldiers. There are tanks, banshees, ghosts, and other warthogs - and the rockets are on the warthog to take them out!

And it's not that hard to take out infantry, but it takes some skill. The rocket hog is far from dumb, it gives you a weapon that's easy to learn how to use, but hard to master. A weapon which can make or break the battle.

One thing i love about hogs is when playing ctf bg some guy comes up behind your base in a hog by himself and goes in to get the flag I jump into the turret of his hog so when he comes out he gets a big shock.

my opinion is that the rocket hog is completely useless. no good aiming, only 3 shots, and your on a warthog that moves really fast, so its hard to aim. even if you were to go against a tank, they could easily dodge it, then shoot you down. personally, i think it should have had a lighter machine gun. like a 7.62mm gun instead of the 12mm on the regular warthog.

I'm a decent shot with the rocket hog, the trick is to consistently get kills with it's rockets. Sure, it's got a slow rate of fire and a reload time that seems forever in the heat of battle, but it more than makes up for it with an infinite supply of rockets. I'm glad they put in the rocket warthog in HPC, I really hope they put it in H2 Vista too.

Machine gun hog>rocket hog (bloodgulch/huge maps).
rocket hog>machine hog (danger canyon/small maps).

Yah, luckmeister is right. It depends what situation you're in. A chain gun is better for taking down infantry than a rocket warthog, but in close and midrange maps the splash damage of the rockets take out infantry more easier in smaller spaces.

Rocket hogs lead a convoy on assault– they knock out the "campers" who are protecting the base with stationary hogs. Chain gun hog follows.

I've also gotten pretty good at blasting snipers off the ledges in Danger Canyon with a rocket hog.

Also, the advantage of the Rhog over the MGhog is that there's no shield-chance that you get if you're sprayed with the MG - if you get hit by a rocket, blam, game over, while if you're facing an MG you have a chance to duck and recharge shields.

For example, race on Death Island. Rhog beats MGhog 9/10 times due to one lucky hit. Or on Infinity for that matter.

He didn't post twice, everything luckmeister posted was erased. Notice how it looks like I posted 5 times in a row?
