Bring Back Halo 2 Rocket Launcher!

I loved that you could lock on to “Air” and “Land” vehicles.

  • Maybe make less shots with Laser and bring “Lock on” rocks back… The Laser is pretty cheap one hit kill. The Rocket Launcher you actually had to time your shot for land vehicles…

Takes more skill to use a “Lock on” Rocket Launcher than a laser. I don’t know how many times I would be driving my teammate in a warthog and just die with one hit by the laser “Also one shot with air vehicles”. If he shot lock on rockets they might mess. This makes the game more balanced!

Laser travels speed of light!
The Rockets travels very slow and has a chance of missing its target.

The Laser is Overpowered it takes no skill to put a little dot on a big target. In order for you to use “lock on” with rocks the vehicle had to be in range! the Laser has no range.

I miss lockon rockets for grown vehicles. it was a great feature.

I don’t know why they got rid of lock on. didn’t make sense and it meant that a map had to have a Spartan laser to counter the banshee otherwise the map is broken.

The halo 2 rocket launcher rivaled the ce magnum…but not in a good way that damn thing was way too over powered if you don’t believe me than get some buddies and load up a match. Don’t get me wrong I loved it but imo it’s just to good at its job.

No it wouldn’t they never had a laser in halo 2 the game was great. Using a laser takes no skill and its overpowered.

The laser requires more skill than the lock-on Rocket Launcher, since you at least need to aim to hit the target rather than just hold the button and let the projectile do all the work. Sure, it’s a one-hit kill, but so was the Rocket Launcher, which also had more ammo than the Laser.

I’m glad that they removed the lock-on for the Rocket in Halo 3 and the Spartan Laser was an excellent weapon. I hope they don’t pull a Halo Reach with Halo 4 and give the Rocket Launcher anti-air lock-on capabilities and make the Spartan Laser almost never appear. In short, Halo 3 had it better than Halo Reach when it comes to Rocket Launchers and Spartan Lasers.

Better idea. Since you say the Laser is OP, we should attach Laser’s too every Banshee too counter said Lasers. Here, let Doctor Evil explain, he’s better at this than I’am: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh7bYNAHXxw

I didn’t even have to click the link to know that it’s about sharks with frickin laser beams on their heads.

Oh quit your damn yappin… They basically removed the Spartan Laser from Halo Reach anyway because of all you people crying about it!

Fighting over the Laser was some of the most fun I’ve had in Halo 3 and because of people like you, those times are now gone and we got weaker vehicles and more default weapon battles now ;\

I say less shots with the spartan laser and bring back halo 2 rockets :).

Original post, click at your own discretion.

What are you taking about the Laser is on every map(Mostly) with Vehicles. Don’t talk about this game if you aren’t good at it! 1.37 k/d serious thats like a .45 k/d in Halo 2The Laser compared to “Lock On” rockets is so overpowered. Maybe because your not as good as the game you have no idea where I’m coming from. I understand you want the game to be really easy…

You really judging me off my K/D ratio in a game where there is no competitive playlists? Kid, I play this game for spits and giggles and to driveeeeeeee… If you seriously want to get your crapper handed to you get 3 teammates and I’ll get my team and let’s play and post the results on these forums.

I. Dare. You.

I love when little foolish kids like you have no basis to their argument and flutter to mindless insults without even knowing who they’re talking to. So anyway, what’s it gonna be?

Having rockets being able to lock onto everything isn’t overpowered?

Why are you on the forums?? you only play this game for spits and giggles. I play this game because it’s the best game ever, I’m trying to make this game more balanced.

You play this game for spits and giggles yet your on the halo forums talking about changing a game your dont care about lol. This is the reason why reach wasnt as successful as halo 2 lol. You cant even be serious about challenging people on here when you only play for laughs. Whats the point??

> Having rockets being able to lock onto everything isn’t overpowered?

“Lock on” Rockets is not a guarantee kill do you not understand that??

While I do think that the Rocket Launcher with lock-on requires more skill than the Spartan Laser, I do not think 343 Industries should remove it entirely. Perhaps we should just limit it to the campaign, custom games and playlists such as Action sack; it is still a fun weapon after all.

> Having rockets being able to lock onto everything isn’t overpowered?

Comparing rockets to the laser is stupid.

Laser kills anything instantly in a second and rockets actually has to travel to hit
the target which isnt a 100% accurate.

You cant compare something that has a 50/50 chance of killing someone to another
weapon that kills anything it touches in the blink of an eye.

Laser is overpowered cause it makes vehicle combat pointless. The only thing it is good for is banshee.
