| | On [[Coagulation (Level)]], set the game type to just rockets. Then, have some people ride in a [[Warthog]] to the hill that is completely covered in shadows. Have one person stay in the warthog and the other people home rockets onto the hog, but instead of firing at the vehicle, fire off to the side a little bit so that you don't hit the warthog. The rocket will keep going in a ring around the warthog. You can fire as many rockets as you want to make a bunch of them circle the vehicle. Eventually, the rockets will disappear. If the person in the warthog is in the passenger seat, he cannot get out until the rockets dissapear or someone else gets in. When you look at the flying rockets you will notice something peculiar. The rocket is aimed directly at the hog but it goes around in circles. Also, if you get into the path of the rocket, it will pass right through you. If the person in the hogs drives away, the rockets will follow him, but they will probably disappear and not hit him. If the person in the hog gets out while he is still parked on him, the rockets will lose their tracking ability and will not hit him. |

| '''Ring of Rockets''' is a [[glitch]] that can be performed in the ''[[Halo 2]]'' [[multiplayer]] map ''[[Coagulation]]'' and in ''[[Halo 3]]'' with a [[LAU-65D/SGM-151|Missile pod]]. The glitch causes rockets to orbit [[vehicles]].
| | == Why this Works == |
| | This phenomenon takes place because a rocket that is homed on something can only take turns that aren't very tight. This causes the rockets to circle the hog if they are shot at the right place. This trick can be preformed with any other vehicle in any other level, as long is it is in a high point so that the rockets do not hit the ground. A good level to try this is with a banshee on Ascension. Fly the banshee into a corner siderail (so it doesnt move) then lock onto the banshee. then aim above it and shoot.( the rockets will become a ring) move the banshee out of this position to make to rockets follow you. |

| |
| On [[Coagulation]], set the gametype to just rockets. Then, have a person (''Person A'') drive a [[Warthog]] to the hill that is completely covered in shadows. Have another person (''Person B'') lock-on the Warthog with a [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]], but instead of firing at the vehicle, ''Person B'' should fire off to the side a little bit so that they don't hit the Warthog. The resulting rocket will begin to revolve around the vehicle—that is, it will face the Warthog and orbit it, circle strafing the vehicle. The rocket will also pass right through any players that are in its path (provided they're on foot). The rocket vanishes after a while.

| ''Person B'' can fire as many rockets as they want, allowing them to make several rockets circle the vehicle at once. If ''Person A'' is in the passenger seat, then they cannot get out until the rockets disappear or until someone else gets in. If ''Person A'' drives away, the rockets will follow them, but they will probably disappear without hitting their target. If ''Person A'' exits the vehicle while it is still parked, the rockets will lose their tracking ability and will not hit him. However, this glitch is not limited to the Warthog; it also works on [[Type-32 Rapid Attack Vehicle|Ghosts]] and even [[Banshees]].

| === ''Halo 3'' ===
| |
| A similar glitch can be performed in ''[[Halo 3]]'' using a [[Missile Pod]] since it also has lock-on capabilities. However, glitched missiles are still explosive and will eventually explode, regardless of whether or not they hit their target. It is easiest to perform on an angled floating bridge on [[Avalanche]] or [[Standoff]]. The Rocket Launcher cannot be used because its lock-on ability was removed in ''Halo 3''.
| |
| | |
| == Explanation ==
| |
| This phenomenon takes place because the rocket can only take wide turns. This glitch causes the rockets to circle the Warthog continuously if they are shot at the right place, since they cannot make a tight enough turn to actually strike the vehicle. This trick can be performed with any other vehicle in any other level, as long as it is on a high enough point so that the rockets do not hit the ground.

| | |
| == Trivia ==
| |
| *If the player is trying to do this with another vehicle, the rockets will disappear faster than doing it with a Warthog.
