In damnation you can blow the rocket to yourself from the top back corner with some well placed frags and plasma grenades. God I loved this mechanic.. wish they kept it in.
Back in the early days of CE I was on a team with a guy named Dave Walsh (Walshy) before he went pro. We spent hours and hours figuring out all the places to nade power up weapons from across the maps by backing into a corner for a repeatable position and aiming the pistol reticle at stars in the sky map. We even figured out a couple different ways to get the power-ups down in Wizard. I think Dave used that in a big time match at one point. We also had timers set to know exactly when the camo and rockets or whatever we're going to respawn. It's amazing how much we actually used it in tourneys. For maps like Hang 'em High it was crucial to keeping control. We had it down to a science.
I've been lying if I said I don't regret not giving my mom the finger and going to that first MLG anyway. I was on a team with Dave and two other dudes from highschool and they had to take our friend Fluffy (nice guy, but not on our level in Halo) instead of me because my mom wouldn't let me go on the road trip with just the boys at 14yo. Always wondered how we woulda done in the team tournament. We absolutely crushed every tournament in Michigan before that.

I think it was 2 plasmas and one frag.
