*In the novel [[Halo: The Flood]], Hunters can actually deflect rockets (that is, redirect it). This is highly improbable, as the rocket explodes the moment it comes in contact with anything, unless it is hit at its side. So a possible explanation is that the Hunters mentioned timed it perfectly and gave it a swift hit at the rocket's side. John-117 performed a similar feat with the help of [[Cortana]] during a test on [[Reach]]. | *In the novel [[Halo: The Flood]], Hunters can actually deflect rockets (that is, redirect it).

*In [[Halo 2]], if a player drives a vehicle to the top of the hill in a given map, and another player stands a certain distance away, locks on, drags the aiming reticule away to a certain point, and releases, the rocket will actually fly around the vehicle in a perfect circle until something gets in the way or the hill player moves. Furthermore, if the player in the vehicle gets out, the rocket will stop homing on to the vehicle and fly off at a random circular trajectory. This glitch is also seen in [[Halo 3]] with the [[missile pod]]. | *In [[Halo 2]], if a player drives a vehicle to the top of the hill in a given map, and another player stands a certain distance away, locks on, drags the aiming reticule away to a certain point, and releases, the rocket will actually fly around the vehicle in a perfect circle until something gets in the way or the hill player moves.

*While your shields are upgraded to [[Overshield]] status, aim at the ground, jump, and fire a rocket at your jumps peak to be given a moderate jump boost. This is because the explosive shock wave of the rocket launcher causes you to fly a little, but is also only possible because during the short (around 2.5 second) period that your overshields charge, you are temporarily invincible. | *While your shields are upgraded to [[Overshield]] status, aim at the ground, jump, and fire a rocket at your jumps peak to be given a moderate jump boost.
