Before I get into this I want you to keep in mind that this is what I believe is 343’s reason for changing it’s look. This in no way reflects my own opinion on whether or not it should have been changed.
Now first lets look at the original design of the Rocket launcher. It has 2 Large tubes that both house one rocket each. Once you have used both rockets you most replace both tubes with two new ones.
This doesn’t seem very practical if you think about it. Holding up to 6 Massive tubes, in god knows where, never truly made much sense.
Now look at the redesign. The Rocket launcher itself is the massive tube and to reload you have to replace a Magazine around the size of a large brick. This design seems a lot more plausible for a Spartan to hold 6 extra rockets unlike the older design.
I hope this helps people understand the reasoning behind the new design.

That’s obviously not the reason for the new design. The reason is that they want it to look realistic, and more mainstream.

Did you even read my post? I out right said that the design is so its more plausible for a Spartan to hold 6 or more extra rockets. Soo… Yes they wanted it to look more realistic… Realisms =/= Mainstream…
I’m fine with this new design, as long as we also get the original version as well.

I don’t think that’s going to be the case. Considering they didn’t do that for the BR in Halo 4.

Well then they should make it a thing.

Agreed.
i just want it to say SPNKr
The original rocket launcher is way too iconic to just replace in my opinion. The SPNKR, or whatever the hell it’s called, has been in every halo game. I’m all for change but I don’t like the new rocket launcher. The new launcher looks like humans have downgraded in technology, not upgraded. Isn’t this supposed to be 2552? The rocket launchers should be way more impressive for the era
