once you lock onto someone, you can jerk the launcher up to the sky while pulling the trigger. This allows the rocket to get above geometry before arching towards your target.

You're goddamn right I ordered the nerf!

HA! That's awesome! I haven't tried it, but you can bet I will (along with everyone else who sees this video).

I say it's a good tactic, it's available to EVERYONE who has Truth leveled up and it still takes a bit of skill and finesse to get the shot just right, so i hope they don't "address" this as a "bug"...but I wouldn't put it past them... :-/

It doesn't seem like something they would. Previous nerfs have effected dps properties; prototype trueseeker seems like an attribute that would be more difficult to adjust. Any programmers want to way (edit: oops! weigh) in here?

Depends entirely on how they implemented it.

It's entirely possible that the target-seeking properties of all weapons are just one module fed with different parameters.

Ho ho! Looks like Destiny got it's very own Javelin.

Absolutely not a bug. Bungie is well aware of the arcing strategy. An extreme example for those of you that remember, in Halo 2 you could lock on with the rocket launcher, quickly pivot away, fire - and if you were standing on a mound the rocket would orbit around the target.

Here's a description: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Ring_of_Rockets

I've had Truth for like 3 weeks, and I've never used it in PvP. WHY HAVE I NEVER USED IT IN PVP?!

If you do, make sure to use Javelin. Those rockets are so slow most of them end up hitting walls otherwise.

Gjallarhorn does have tracking but it's much less aggressive than Truth's. Also Gjallahorn doesn't have proximity detonation at all. In case there's confusion: proximity detonation means it'll detonate BEFORE it hits the target or when it is close enough to damage the target. Gjallahorn has tracking "Wolfpack" rounds that release upon detonation, but it will not detonate if it's nearby. So for example if an enemy does a quick juke to the side right before a Truth rocket gets to them, it'll detonate and damage them anyway but in a similar scenario with Gjallahorn it can attempt to correct after the juke, but not be able to correct enough and hit a wall too far away from the enemy for your wolfpack rounds to do any good.

Gjallarhorn absolutely DOES have proximity detonation when not in the tracking mode. Try it. See if you can shoot a rocket close by overhead an enemy without it detonating - don't lock on of course.

Yes, if it is tracking mode it can near miss and won't proximity detonate.

Hmm, I'll have to test it, and see if it does it with other Rocket Launchers too.
