Rocket Race

This article is a stub. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

Rocket Race is a VIP Gametype in Halo 3 on Xbox Live. The gametype has eight players divided into four separate teams, Red, Blue, Green, and Orange. It involves using a Mongoose to reach a destination to gain points. It is also loosely based on a Gametype called Race that was featured in Halo:Combat Evolved.

The game has set point limit of 10 to reach, with each destination reached earning you or your VIP 1 point. At the start of the match, one VIP is randomly selected from the four teams, with the VIP acting as the gunner and the other teammate as the driver. Drivers of the teams then proceed to escort their VIP's to the different destinations on the map, while the VIP's focus on keeping the other teams away with their weaponry. One twist to the game however is that it is a Rocket Launcher only gametype with no damage enabled. This results in players and vehicles flying around the map when any rocket hits their vehicle. This type of game focuses on fun and often chaotic gameplay.

Trivia

• Rocket Race replaced Social Doubles on the social playlist of Halo 3.

• You can still get MVP, but it's determined on how many enemy VIPs you killed, the only way to kill in Rocket Race to assassinate (or knock them into mines on Sandtrap).
