'''Surface-to-air missile launchers''', colloquially known as '''SAM sites''',{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12516|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Humpday Challenge: Double Trouble|Quote=After clawing our way back to a 5-5 tie, Frankie and I spawned by the Mongoose near the SAM Site.|D=14|M=10|Y=2014}} are a kind of [[Anti-aircraft weapon|anti-aircraft]] emplacement employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. | |||
==Overview== | |||
{{ | The surface-to-air missile launchers in UNSC service are large multiple-launch-system emplacements, firing missiles at enemy aircraft. There are two major known variants of launcher, with broadly similar designs; | ||
[[Category: | ===War-era launcher=== | ||
This SAM launcher used by [[human]]ity during the [[Battle for Earth]]. It can load three [[Advanced Short-Range Ground-to-Air Missile 10X|ASGRAM 10X]] missiles for firing, with racks of four additional ASRGAM 10Xs often seen accompanying it. Such weapons were in use by the UNSC in [[Voi]] and [[Outpost C9]] during the [[Battle of Earth]].{{Ref/Level|H3|The Storm}}{{Ref/Level|H3|Floodgate}}{{Ref/Map|Id=HG|H3|High ground}} | |||

===Post-war launcher=== | |||
Multiple of these kinds of launcher were used by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to defend their [[Oasis (map)|black site]] surrounding the site of a recovered dormant [[Lifeworker terraforming vessel]]. Unlike the prior variant, they contain three blocks of four missiles.{{Ref/Map|HINF|Oasis}} | |||

==In-game information== | |||
===''Halo 3''=== | |||
The Surface-to-Air Missile launcher is present in ''[[Halo 3]]'' on the [[Campaign]] levels [[The Storm]] and [[Floodgate]], as well on the [[multiplayer]] level [[High Ground]]. It is unusable and serves only as scenery. | |||
===''Halo Infinite''=== | |||
SAM launchers are present in a scenery role on the ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' map [[Oasis]]. They are also placeable scenery objects in [[Forge/Halo Infinite|Forge]] mode. | |||
==Production notes== | |||
For High Ground, Bungie had tried to have the SAM site AI-controlled, so that when players are charging up the map, there would be a risk of being killed by the launcher. Bungie had its AI capabilities removed, mainly because there was too much firepower coming down on the attackers.{{Ref/Marketing|H3|Ad=Halo 3 ViDoc: Is Quisnam Protero Damno!}} | |||
