This "maneuver" would never work in a serious game, or a game with people who know how to shoot up in the air.
Riding the banshee is nothing new, and extremely nooby, im surprised the people you were playing against were to nooby to simply snipe you out of the air, smg or rocket the banshee while it was flying for 45 seconds waiting to pick you up, or you falling off.
Definatly less effective then simply going through the teleporter, and running to the base...
And if the other team had rockets, how would they shoot it down with a rocket.
The fact is, it could easily work. Snipers don't tend to look for people on top of banshees. If they didn't see him jump on, they would most likely be looking at the exit of the portal, or other places to find the flag carrier, not on top of a banshee.A Banshee moving really slowly with a person on top of it is hard to miss, and your teammates could easily call it out.
If a teammate sees it and calls it out, then yeah, it would be quite easy. If they're right below the Banshee, would they see the guy on Top? If you actually decided to take a look at the banshee, you would see him. My point is, wouldn't a majority of people, when their flag is taken, concentrate on the conventional means of scoring it. Being Warthog, or portal? Plus, this is all reliant on your sniper still being alive, because generally, a team would have to kill at least some or a majority of the other team around the base to get in and take the flag.
If your team has rockets, and they try this move, it would never work, since the rocket guy would probably take out the banshee either way. If not though, its very possible that because the other team is looking in specific spots on the ground for the flag, they would never notice he was on top of the banshee.
His statement was, that people who just knew how to shoot would be able to counter this. not true. You could counter it is the other team saw you, if not which is very possible, the team would have an easy score.
