LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:FoF Template:Weapon The Missle Pod is a special weapon used by the United Nations Space Command.
Introduction
The Missle Pod is a 80 missile launcher that has the ability to track vehicles and people. Template:WepList
Operation
It is a rocket/missile launcher type weapon and can only carry 80 rounds.
Once picked up the launcher will appear in a "fifth-person view" which will make the player using the weapon less accurate and slower.
This weapon is special since it can track vehicles and people just like the M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher. The difference between the Missile Pod and the Rocket Launcher is that the Missile Pod tracks vehicles and the Rocket Launcher does not in Halo 3 (stated by Bungie in a game interview by IGN)
Trivia
- This is one of two current "fifth-person view" weapons. The other is the Machinegun Turret. This is a revolution for video games since the previous best person view was 3rd. 5th person view is absolutely amazing. I participated in a beta test so I should know.
- The Missile Pod could possibly be the M19-B SAM Missile Launcher that was used by Alpha Company and Beta Company. It was also used by the Swat members in the movie Swat to knock down walls of a house. It was successful in that attempt. So they decided to market it to Halo 3.
