From what i have seen, i mostly like everything from Halo 4 so far, But the only thing i don’t like so far is how the rocket launcher shoots.

Look at 1:47

As you can see, it does not shoot a trail of smoke or anything like the other Halo games.

Would you prefer to see that on the final release on Halo 4 or Something like from previous Halo games? (Halo CEA is my favourite for the rocket shooting effects.)

But let me say this, The Gameplay from the Halo 4 Rocket launcher Might be a Place holder for the Halo 4 Pre Alpha Beta, And what we are seeing may not be in the final game.

But, your opinions?

it seems like it leaves a trail to me, but the trail is more streamlined then before

From what I saw in E3, it does have a trail but doesn’t really look like smoke.

Could they be heat seeking rockets?

It seems like a mix between the spartan laser and brute shot. I’m pretty unhappy with it, it’s also extremely slow.

This is one of those things that would be added closer to the final build of the game.

I wouldn’t worry too much about it now, but the concern should definitely be there!

Hope they beef up those great particle effects they have and give it some meat-y smoke.

At first I thought you were talking about how small it’s splash radius was, I personally think the visuals look okay (not amazing just okay) and if they made them look better that would be cool and if they kept the brute shot-esque appearance I would still be fine

I agree it looks like a slow sniper shot

Yeah its weird for sure… The look of the trail wouldn’t be so jarring if it wasn’t for that weird high pitched sound. I think the sound would fit a fast moving rocket/missile, but it doesn’t match the slow moving rocket launcher.

Shame that is doesn’t say SPNKR down the side now, but I guess that’s Bungies thing.

Ya, it looks weird. The weapon seems really weak too.

Well at least in gameplay videos, I saw it wasn’t exactly finished. Sometimes the explosion didn’t happen.

I hope the rocket trail/speed is similar to Reach’s rockets, only with far less splash damage. They need to be harder to use, but still be the most powerful weapon in the game.

It needs a natural looking trail, right now it just looks goofy and underdone
