The surface-to-air missile launcher, colloquially known as the SAM site,[2] is a UNSC weapons emplacement.
Overview
The surface-to-air missile launcher is a large multiple-launch-system emplacement, firing the ASRGAM 10X surface-to-air missile.[Note 1] Such weapons were in use by the UNSC in Voi and Outpost C9 during the Battle of Earth.[3][4][1]
Trivia
- 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.
- 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.[5]
