'''Ring of Rockets''' is a [[glitch]] that can be performed in the ''[[Halo 2]]'' [[multiplayer]] map [[Coagulation (Level)|Coagulation]] and in ''[[Halo 3]]''.

==Instructions==
On Coagulation, set the game type to just rockets. Then, have a person ride in a [[Warthog]] to the hill that is completely covered in shadows. Have another person lock-on the Warthog with a [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]], but instead of firing at the [[vehicle]], fire off to the side a little bit so that you don't hit the Warthog and the rockets will begin to revolve around the vehicle. You can fire as many rockets as you want to make a bunch of them circle the vehicle. Eventually, the rockets will disappear. If the person in the Warthog is in the passenger seat, he cannot get out until the rockets disappear or someone else gets in. When you look at the flying rockets you will notice something peculiar. The rocket is aimed directly at the Warthog, but it goes around in circles. Also, if you get into the path of the rocket, it will pass right through you. If the person in the Warthog drives away, the rockets will follow him, but they will probably disappear and not hit him. If the person in the Warthog gets out while he is still parked, the rockets will lose their tracking ability and will not hit him. However, this glitch is not limited to the Warthog; it also works on [[Ghosts]] and [[Banshees]].

== Why this Works ==

This phenomenon takes place because a rocket that is homing in on something can only take broad turns. This causes the rockets to circle the Warthog if they are shot at the right place, since they cannot make a tight enough turn to impact the vehicle. This trick can be performed with any other vehicle in any other level, as long is it is on a high enough point so that the rockets do not hit the ground. A good level to try this is  [[Ascension]] using a Banshee. Fly the Banshee into one of the corner side railings (so that it doesn't move) then lock onto the Banshee. Then aim above it and shoot. The rockets will move in a ring around the Banshee. Then just move the Banshee out of this position to make to rockets follow you.



==Halo 3==
A similar [[glitch]] in ''Halo 3'' can be performed with the [[Missile Pod]] since it also has lock on capabilities.

== Trivia ==
*If you are trying to do this with another vehicle the rockets will disappear faster than doing it with a Warthog and other vehicles that it works with.
*The [[Rockets]] cannot harm you. Upon hitting you, they will just pass through you.

+On Coagulation, set the game type to just rockets. Then, have a person ride in a [[Warthog]] to the hill that is completely covered in shadows. Have another person lock-on the Warthog with a [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]], but instead of firing at the [[vehicle]], fire off to the side a little bit so that you don't hit the Warthog and the rockets will begin to revolve around the vehicle. You can fire as many rockets as you want to make a bunch of them circle the vehicle. Eventually, the rockets will disappear.

-On [[Coagulation]], set the gametype to just rockets. Then, have a person (''Person A'') drive a [[Warthog]] to the hill that is completely covered in shadows. Have another person (''Person B'') lock-on the Warthog with a [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]], but instead of firing at the vehicle, ''Person B'' should fire off to the side a little bit so that they don't hit the Warthog. The resulting rocket will begin to revolve around the vehicle—that is, it will face the Warthog and orbit it, circle strafing the vehicle. The rocket will also pass right through any players that are in its path (provided they're on foot). The rocket vanishes after a while.
-''Person B'' can fire as many rockets as they want, allowing them to make several rockets circle the vehicle at once. If ''Person A'' is in the passenger seat, then they cannot get out until the rockets disappear or until someone else gets in. If ''Person A'' drives away, the rockets will follow them, but they will probably disappear without hitting their target. If ''Person A'' exits the vehicle while it is still parked, the rockets will lose their tracking ability and will not hit him. However, this glitch is not limited to the Warthog; it also works on [[Type-32 Rapid Attack Vehicle|Ghosts]] and even [[Banshees]].
+== Why this Works ==
-=== ''Halo 3'' ===
+This phenomenon takes place because a rocket that is homing in on something can only take broad turns. This causes the rockets to circle the Warthog if they are shot at the right place, since they cannot make a tight enough turn to impact the vehicle. This trick can be performed with any other vehicle in any other level, as long is it is on a high enough point so that the rockets do not hit the ground.

The rockets will move in a ring around the Banshee. Then just move the Banshee out of this position to make to rockets follow you.
-A similar glitch can be performed in ''[[Halo 3]]'' using a [[Missile Pod]] since it also has lock-on capabilities. However, glitched missiles are still explosive and will eventually explode, regardless of whether or not they hit their target. It is easiest to perform on an angled floating bridge on [[Avalanche]] or [[Standoff]]. The Rocket Launcher cannot be used because its lock-on ability was removed in ''Halo 3''.
-== Explanation ==
-This phenomenon takes place because the rocket can only take wide turns. This glitch causes the rockets to circle the Warthog continuously if they are shot at the right place, since they cannot make a tight enough turn to actually strike the vehicle. This trick can be performed with any other vehicle in any other level, as long as it is on a high enough point so that the rockets do not hit the ground.
