== 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 the 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, but when you do this glitch the missiles are still explosive and they explode eventually. The Rocket Launcher, however, can not be used because its lock-on ability was removed in ''Halo 3''. It is easiest to perform on an angled floating bridge on [[Avalanche]] or [[Standoff]].
