The Surface-to-Air Missile Launcher[1], abbreviated to the SAM Site and colloquially known as the scenery on the map Highground, but has no use.
Description
The Surface-to-Air Missile Launcher is a large multiple-launch-system emplacement, firing the ASRGAM 10X missile. It is featured in the Halo 3 multiplayer level High Ground and the Campaign level The Storm And in Floodgate. It was thought by some players to be a large mortar device that can fire on upcoming attackers. This was proven false by Bungie which stated it was unusable and is only scenery. Workers at Bungie had tried to have the SAM missile site AI-controlled, so that when player(s) are charging up High Ground, 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.[2]
Appearances
- Halo 3, High Ground - far back of the defensive base, next to a UNSC Mongoose ATV and the garage.
- Halo 3, The Storm - close by the Covenant AA Gun. Why they never used it is uncertain
Trivia
The Surface-to-Air Missile Launcher must be effective because right outside the Crows Nest in the beginning of Tsavo Highway there are several downed phantom dropships.
