I was just wondering....im really looking forward to the rocket launcher tracking....cauz for any one whos played the PC version on multiplayer you will know about all the annoying n00bs who are constatnly in a banshee..... my usall tactic is to lull them into a false sense of securitry by feebly shooting around them with my plamsa pistol... the get cocky and try to run me down.... when they get close enough u flop out a rocket launcher and blast em to kingdom come.... its gunna teach them a lesson with the new tracking system in halo 2!
Right back to the main subject....do u reckon the rocket hog will have tracking on it? it would be pretty cool... but unbalanced seeing as it has unlimitied ammo.
Another thing i notcied in the 2004 E3 demo was when he fire the rocket at the hog close up it tracked a little aswell... this shows that u dont have to be zoommed in to get a lock

While I can't speak for Bungie, I can pretty much guarantee that the rocket hog will not track.
And you do have to be zoomed to track with the RL. It may have appeared that way because he was moving to the side while firing.

Here's something for you to think about Hill Rider. A flaw to your logic. If Wort was firing off towards the horizon... what could he possibly have been locking onto out in the water to cause the rocket to veer off?

i also had the problem with those stupid banshee hoeres!!!
but i found a good way to kill them, throw a sticky grenade on them (if you dont have a rocket launcher) or just shoot them with a shotgun from short range and pistol from a distence! this tactic i used to shoot 4 guys out of there banshees after eaghother!!!

Some of my friends thought that the the rocket he fires unscoped was tracking, but im pretty sure its because hes moving to the side as he shoots, it just looks like a tracker.

i like playing a game called sprockets on halo (1) but if you do not have to be in zoom i wonder if you could track on a person i went send my friend running down longest for like half a hour before he dies :p

I personally dnt think that teh rocket hog should have tracking on it as that would make the game too easy, you wouldnt be as satisfied when you got off that damn lucky shot that killed your enemy and looked absolutely amzing as well!!!

you know if u had a rocket launcher.........the rockets go homing onto targets in HALO2 but would nt it be nice if all rockets were homing?.......Those rocket warhogs would then blast millions of vehicles into the sky because of its unlimited amount of ammunition.....

i actually think its a bad idea for the rocket hog to track....the rocket launcher took alot of skill to hit moving targets in halo 1....i love the idea of the tracking launher to get vehicles but i hope its doenst track spartans and elties...
I was also wondering do u think its possible to dodge the tracket rockets?

If the rocket hog were to track and have unlimited ammo, you'd see all the cheap players using them all the time and it'd take alot of the fun out of the game, i say no trackiing for the rocket hog, i dont think im alone in this one!

well i hope im not,
