The surface-to-air missile | The surface-to-air missile launcher is a large multiple-launch-system emplacement, firing the [[Advanced Short-Range Ground-to-Air Missile 10X|ASRGAM 10X]] surface-to-air missile. | ||
Such weapons were in use by the UNSC in [[Voi]] and [[Outpost C9]] during the [[Battle of Earth]]. | |||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
For High Ground, Bungie had tried to have the SAM site AI-controlled, so that when players are charging up the map, there would be a risk of being killed by the launcher. Bungie had its AI capabilities removed, mainly because there was too much firepower coming down on the attackers. | *The Surface-to-Air Missile launcher is present in ''[[Halo 3]]'' on the [[Campaign]] levels [[The Storm]] and [[Floodgate]], as well on the [[multiplayer]] level [[High Ground]]. It is unusable and serves only as scenery. | ||
