LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod

Template:FoF Template:Weapon The Missle Pod is a special weapon used by the United Nations Space Command.

Introduction

The Missle Pod is a 80 missile launcher that has the ability to track vehicles and people. Template:WepList

Operation

It is a rocket/missile launcher type weapon and can only carry 8 rounds.

Once picked up the launcher will appear in a "third-person view" which will make the player using the weapon less accurate and slower.

This weapon is special since it can track vehicles just like the M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher. The difference between the Missile Pod and the Rocket Launcher is that the Missile Pod tracks vehicles and the Rocket Launcher does not in Halo 3 (stated by Bungie in a game interview by IGN)

Trivia

• This is one of two current "fifth-person view" weapons. The other is the Machinegun Turret. This is a revolution for video games since the previous best person view was 3rd. 5th person view is absolutely amazing. I participated in a beta test so I should know.
• The Missile Pod could possibly be the M19-B SAM Missile Launcher that was used by Alpha Company and Beta Company. It was also used by the Swat members in the movie Swat to knock down walls of a house. It was successful in that attempt. So they decided to market it to Halo 3.
