Don't you think the game would end a bit quickly if people were able to transport the flag in vehicles without having to worry about the rocket launcher? What would stop you?

[gcskate27]

hence the snipers... the rockets arent any more overpowered than they are on any game... if the people were close enough to all be taken out with one rocket, thats just bad planning...

[SKoT]

ummm... get the rocket first, doy.

send a guy racing off in the ghost FIRST thing to get it, give him support with the banshee and have a sniper keeping tabs on things, meanwhile, the other guy(considering this is a 4 person CTF) get the BR/Plasma pistol combo and hops in the warthog, by now, you have the rocket and killed some of their people/vehicles in the middle, or you suck. Have the BR guy drive the sniper and warthog to one of the hills and drop the sniper off so he has a vantage point for sniping. pick up the rocket guy in gunner and banshee drives off, have banshee guy kill anyone on top of base and drop onto it. nade spam the flag area and by now have the underway of the base cleared from hog. Banshee guy drops in a kills/wreaks havoc as much as possible, while the rocket guy jumps on top of hog and grabs flag through floor, killing anyone who stop him. Sniper covers, and you drive home.

Maybe you should just find a different game if you can't deal with the rockets.

if you ever play coag and the other team is all in vehicles (warthog and gunner, ghost, banshee) youll be glad for rockets, fucking impossible* to take all those out without them...

*ok, not impossible but very difficult and generally accompanied by a crazy amount of kills for them...

[LinkWarrior]

Agreed, the banshee would be impossible to take out unless there was a rocket launcher. Yes, I think it's overpowered a little bit, but taking it completely out of the game is...stupid. I think it should only home in on banshees and\or ghosts. Everything else you can pretty much hit without homing.

That's like saying if you don't like Headlong you shouldn't play Halo.

[squeek]

sure the rocket is powerful but...its a frickin rocket launcher.

if anything i think that coag should have another rocket or a fuel rod or somthing because when you have normal guns its almost impossible to take out a banshee

god help us if they put tanks in coag more with no rocket

[ravenge]

who cares i'm tha guy with the rocket launcher so look out!!!

[poogles]

I sort of agree with you, but the rocket launcher is a good addition to levels predominantly reliant on vechicles for obvious reasons.

The only thing I wish they would change is the rate of fire. It's rediculously fast. With a bit of skill in Halo 1 you could evade someone's first rocket and then kill them. In Halo 2, as they have the ability to shoot 2 very quick rockets, you just have to hope they're a shit shot if you have any chance of killing them. (On foot)

I also wish they included the covenant green rocket launcher thing in MP. That weapon is cool.

[gto65l]

The only time I don't like the rocket launcher is when I don't have it.  But if you want to keep balance in a game with vehicles, I think the rocket launcher is absolutely necessary.

[gcskate27]

even though thats the point of the rocket placement for zanzibar, have the sniper take out the rocket guy... actually that works for any map... the rocket launcher is far from unbalanced, if you didnt have it the vehicles would always dominate...

[wasting]

i hate vehicles
