	*In the novel ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', [[Hunters]] can actually deflect (that is, redirect) rockets with their [[shields]]. This is highly improbable, as the rocket explodes the moment it comes in contact with anything, unless it is hit at its side. [[John-117]] performed a similar feat with the help of [[Cortana]] during a test on [[Reach]].		*In the novel ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', [[Hunters]] can actually deflect (that is, redirect) rockets with their [[shields]].

-	*In [[Halo 2|''Halo 2'']], if a player drives a[[vehicle]] to the top of the hill in a given map, and another player stands a certain distance away, locks on, drags the aiming reticule away to a certain point, and releases, the rocket will actually fly around the vehicle in a perfect circle until something gets in the way or the hill player moves. Furthermore, if the player in the vehicle gets out, the rocket will stop homing on to the [[vehicle]] and fly off at a random circular trajectory. This [[glitch]] is also seen in [[Halo 3|''Halo 3'']] with the [[missile pod]].	+	*In [[Halo 2|''Halo 2'']], if a player drives a [[vehicle]] to the top of the hill in a given map, and another player stands a certain distance away, locks on, drags the aiming reticule away to a certain point, and releases, the rocket will actually fly around the vehicle in a perfect circle until something gets in the way or the hill player moves.

	*While your shields are upgraded to [[Overshield]] status, aim at the ground, jump, and fire a rocket at your jumps peak to be given a moderate jump boost. This is because the explosive shock wave of the [[rocket launcher]] causes you to fly a little, but is also only possible because during the short time (around 2.5 seconds) that your overshields charge, you are temporarily invincible.		*While your shields are upgraded to [[Overshield]] status, aim at the ground, jump, and fire a rocket at your jumps peak to be given a moderate jump boost.

Rocket to Russia: official hymn of the conquerors

Joe feels the (slightly scary & very vocal) love (Moscow Arena) Our second and final show in Russia happens in Moscow, at a large black box called The Moscow Arena. Inside of the building walls, floors, ducting, integral support beams and even lighting and plumbing have an unfinished feel, as if the the venue is meant to be temporary. Pieces of tile are glued haphazardly onto cinderblock walls assembled without enough mortar. Light shines through the separation between the concrete and air moves through, too, mostly reeking of cigarette smoke. Forty minutes before showtime the rapidly growing crowd in front of the stage is clearly audible from the dressing room, loud enough that it becomes challenging to hear myself speak or hear the notes on my unplugged bass as I warm up my fingers. When we arrive on the stage the crowd howls with one demonic voice as Jeff counts us in to the opener: Ice 9. The audience claps, jumps, waves their arms, sits on each other's shoulders, even cries. I am drenched in sweat in four minutes and stay that way for the entire two and a half hour set, the drops moving continually from my head to my shoes. Elegant and surely expensive flower bouquets are passed hand to hand from the back of the hall to the people on the wall eight feet in front of us who then attempt to throw them on to the stage. They invariably miss, which is sad....
