LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod

The Missile Pod is a ground weapon used by the United Nations Space Command. It is a missile-launching weapon, holding up to eight highly explosive missiles. The Missile Pod is capable of tracking down targets.

Operation
The Missile Pod can only carry eight rounds. Once picked up the player will appear in third-person view. Due to the weapon's weight, the user will run at a slower pace. It is also harder to aim in this mode. This weapon is capable of tracking vehicles. Frank O'Connor has stated that the Missile Pod will replace the Halo 2 SPNKrs's ability to lock on to vehicles, since the Rocket Launcher no longer has this capability. But the ability of tracking vehicles comes at a cost; there is little splash damage to humans.

Trivia

 * The Missile Pod is one of the current third-person view weapons. The other is the AIE-486H Heavy Machinegun, but a Covenant version of the turret (Plasma Cannon) might also be in the final game. In the Et Tu, Brute? ViDoc, a Brute and the Arbiter are seen carrying one respectively.
 * This weapon may possibly be the M19-B SAM Missile Launcher that was used by Alpha Company and Beta Company.
