This weapon is a portable weapon (like the [[Flamethrower]]) and not a turret, but can be mounted on a tripod, although the mounted version of the Missile Pod can only be seen in [[Campaign]] mode. The Missile Pod can carry eight rounds, equal to the [[Rocket Launcher]] but without having to be reloaded. In its mounted form, the Missile Pod is used by the marine teams as rocket powered mortar (by firing its missiles vertically into the sky). This allows the missiles to hit their targets from above inflicting maximum damage and leaving less time for the target to avoid the strike. | |||
It is the only weapon in ''[[Halo 3]]'' that can track vehicles, taking the ability away from the [[M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher]] from [[Halo 2]]. But the ability of tracking vehicles comes at a cost; there is little splash damage to other people. | It is the only weapon in ''[[Halo 3]]'' that can track vehicles, taking the ability away from the [[M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher]] from [[Halo 2]].
