The | The '''H-165 FOM''' or '''Target Locator'''<ref>[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/109/1098584p1.html '''IGN''': ''E3 2010: Firefight in Halo: Reach – Bigger & Better'']</ref> is a [[United Nations Space Command]] piece of equipment. It is a compact, handheld [[Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation|laser]] pointer designed for acquiring and designating targets for small-scale [[orbital bombardment]] from an orbiting [[UNSC Starship]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyWmnbni02U&feature=player_embedded '''YouTube''': ''Halo Reach Firefight 2.0 Gameplay Footage'']</ref><ref>[http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6265956/?tag=top_stories%3Btitle%3B1 '''GameSpot''': ''Halo: Reach Interview: Firefight'']</ref> While similar in function to the [[laser designator]], the Target Locator is much smaller and can be held with one hand. The Target Locator also has a scope. | ||
The Target Locator appears as a weapon in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. When the trigger is held down for three seconds, a green laser beam marks the targets, and a red circle is projected on the ground around the target area. Once the target has been locked, [[seven]] missiles strike the designated area from above, doing a large amount of area damage.<ref>[http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14276699/halo-project/videos/e310_halor_gmp_mortarstrike.html '''IGN''': ''Halo: Reach Xbox 360 Gameplay - E3 2010:Mortar Strike (Off Screen)'']</ref> | |||
