It's midway between a machine gun and a rocket launcher (Destiny)

Rocket launchers are great, if you are hitting a group of targets. The most recent raid and strike presents us with a stream of guys, and sometimes you'd like that stream to stop. One way to do this is to use a machine gun and hold the trigger down at thrall head level. Another way is toss a duration grenade in the path. But rocket launchers were borderline useless in places because they would only kill 2 or 3 guys, not slow down the stream of guys at all, and would occasionally get you killed due to tracking into a close wall or proximity detention due to the thrall tapping on your shoulder. Sometimes I just want a rocket to land in THAT doorway and leave an AOE duration effect that will give me time to reload.

Plus, as much as I love watching Truth track a player down from across the map, I do sort of miss the epic rocket launcher shots of the Halo days :)
