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.

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...

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.

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

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.

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.

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...

This is like saying that you can only play the game under your settings. If a person only played under there settings all the time he or she would be stale. To be good at halo is to be well rounded and be able to adapt to any game variaint.

noone is saying the games perfect but halo one had a rocket as well... so has pretty much every other fps ever... the lock on can be avoided as well, thats one of the reasons for the hills in coag...
and yes the banshee does take damage, its just able to fly above where most weapons can reach...

Not to interrupt this great topic but... The Rocket Launcher is a newbie weapon, they should make an option where u can say NO Rockets or something, THe Rocket Launcher is gay head to head and same with the sword its always a race to one of those weapons and then u have the upperhand with them. I occasionally get killed by newbies with them but thats the only weapon that they can kill me with so ya i agree with everyone who thinks that the Rocket Launcher is a cheap weapon, they should lower its power or something... I agree that it is nice for like CTF when their team is in a Warthog or Banshee or something else, but its not impossible to take those guys out, it would actually add some more skill involved in stopping the flag carrier, bump up your sniping skills and such and it should be a problem to take out the flag guy, and on the other hand if that team was able to take your flag and get in a warthog with no problem then they deserve to get the flag... Rockets overall are just a pretty much newbie weapons, i can see certain instances where you need them, and in no way am i calling peoples newbs OK, but for slayer and other games that involve a bunch of killing the rocket launcher can be a problem...

except the fact that it has very limited ammo... and the only h2h level with it is ascension* which has 2 snipers so if youre smart, youll grab the shotgun and sniper while the idiot goes for the rockets...
