NC gets a camera-guided missile.

This is so awesomely fantastic. Screw your multiple rocket launchers. Screw your laser launchers. We can fire around CORNERS! Effectiveness to be determined, but still. Fire it straight up from cover and you might be able to drop it down on top of things.

This has the potential to be the most gamebreaking thing ever, in organized groups. The damage amount is supposed to be high, but if it's low you just get a couple extra buddies and oneshot stuff without warning or retaliation possibility.

The only way it won't be OP is if it has severely limited maneuverability and range. I doubt it though.

I'd expect a limited turn rate...

One of my old FPS had something like this. Maybe Unreal Tournament 2003. I remember it being muchos fun. The downside being that you're a sitting duck as you're busy flying the missile, so someone could sneak up on you and backstab you or whatever.

Metal Gear Solid had this as well. Wasn't multiplayer, but quite fun. It looks like the missiles are fairly speedy, making indoor use a little... difficult. Still, i'd like to try it out.
