Talk:M41 SPNKr

Archives:1

Um, why are there two different rocket launcher that look the exact same and say they are both in Halo CE?

Contradictory

This article says that the Halo 2 rocket launcher is the M19, then says it is this model, the M41. Which model is the one in Halo 2????

Okay,I know now. Will edit as required

M41 NOT the same launcher as the one in Halo 2!

I would like you all to consult your Halo 2 manuals. If you dont have one at hand then download it here . As you can see the M19 was the Rocket Launcher in both Halo 1 and 2, and the M41 is a WHOLE NEW rocket launcher for Halo 3. Please stop messing up this article with false information such as homing capabilities and such.

Also of note is that the M41 can also refer to the M41 LAAG machine gun, so when I put M41 in the search area it should come up with a choice of either of these. Justin Time 08:01, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes well I wasnt trying to be mean or commanding or anything...I am just too noobish to know how to make a disambiguation page ^_^ Justin Time 20:10, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Aside from the name and the homing in Halo 2, there hasn't really been any difference at all to the rocket launcher, aesthetically or otherwise - the older versions are even labelled in-game as the 'M41 SSR'. Apparently, the Vista manual for Halo 2 labels the rocket launcher as the M41, as well. I'd suggest merging it. I can understand the MA5C and MA5B being seperate, but they are actually labelled and canonically different to each other, and are aesthetically different (if only slightly). The rocket launcher has remained fairly similair throughout the series.

MAV/AW?

does anybody know what MAV/AW means? EliteSpartan 7:55 August 9 2007

   I'd guess Mobile Anti Vehicle/Anti(Whatever) rocket launcher... cant think of a W word to go there --Dandaman879 04:26, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Misc. useless note

There is an error in the page. It first says that it fires fast, then that it fires slowly. The 7ru7h: It fires quite fast for a rocket launcher and is very good for it's purpose. It fires slowly when compared to other weapons. By now my good grammer and trademark unsigned comments should let you know who I am, though there are others like me.

Thanks for pointing that out anonymous user. I fixed the contradiction but I can't believe no one had seen it before. Good job. --EliteSpartan 10:07PM August 31 2007

?

who put this crap in trivia? --VanFlyhight

"A glitch on Halo 3 Multiplayer is that if you fire at a Plasma Grenade armed and stuck to the floor, a rocket aimed at the Plasma Grenade will go towards it then the rocket will change its course and fire upwards for 2 seconds then explode. This will sometimes mysteriously spawn a Brute Chieftain which will sneak up on to you if done on the map Last Resort."

Trivia Addition?

I didn't want to add these because they change the "flavor" of the article in terms of imposing the reality upon the fictional.. However, I thought it best to see what you all thought:

The Rocket launcher's firing sequence changes between 1st-person and 3rd-person perspectives. In 1st-person when fired, the barrel rotates, positioning the second tube into a firing position. In 3rd-person, the barrel doesn't rotate at all. Also the "arrow decals" are in notably different positions.

The reload sequence changes as well. In 1st person, you open the clamps and eject the entire dual barrel, before pulling out another barrel system which you bring across your field of vision and insert into the clamp area, and close the clamps around the fresh barrel. In 3rd person, the reloader simply looks at the clamps and seems to manipulate them slightly, thereby reloading the weapon. A separate question is whether or not the length of this weapon is known?

BAD IDEA TO MERGE

not a good idea to merge ths article with halo CE and 2 rocket launcher..

Possiable meaning of SPNKr

Could SPNKr mean, other than Spanker, Special Purpose Non-Kinetic rocket? If so this implys that most Human rockets work by kinetic enegry (KE) while the M41 Rockets rely on High-Explosive Force...

            -A Lone Deadly Wolf

I do believe it stands for Special Purpose Noob Killing Rocket. Zuranamee
