Let's face it, we all have our preferences and we all find certain weapons that work for us. Sometimes we rush right to the spawn for these when the game begins, or we wait for it to re-spawn then take it. I know I have a tendency to be a ghost/banshee hog. When these are on a map, most of the time I'm the only person who uses them. And on Ascension, I'm in the Banshee for most of the game. So what kind of weapon hog are you?

Beam Rifle FTW...pwned.

Surrender your skittles...or prepare to die...

I run straight towards the banshee on coag every game, I have my control sticks pointing in the direction of it before the game starts.

Oh please to the people voting BR. You know damned straight that isn't the weapon you run for.

I always go for Sword every chance I get because I love pissing people off.

Warthog. Not only is it fun splattering, but you can have someone hop in the back.

  • 09.12.2007 7:24 PM PDT

I hog nothing. I sit there at a weapon until a nearby person grabs it. I hate when half the team hates me for missing one sniper round. If nobody is around, I grab sniper rifles as a top priority though.

You're asking people to state which non-released game they like better?

It's like asking a virgin whether they like being on top or on bottom.

Puma FTW

Banshee. I'm a natural born pilot. In any BTB game, if there is a banshee, you will probably find me in it. Exept on acention. That map isn't big enough to counter the risk of rockets.

There is a risk of rockets on Acsention, but I actually have a lot of luck on that map with a banshee. I can usually get a 7 or 10 spree without too much trouble. And actually, just tonight I dodged not one, but two rockets by rolling at the last second. The second time I was able to turn back around just in time to see it flaming wildly around on the other side of the map. pretty cool

I like to snipe. The feeling of sniping some running sucker right smack dab in the head just makes me feel good.

Sometimes someone takes the sniper rifle that I want. When this happens I ask them politely to drop it for me.

If they decide not to drop it, TEAM KILL FOR THE WIN

If a good banshee pilot is on your team it's pretty much a guaranteed victory.

Like for Coagulation after your team controls the rocket, the other team is pretty much defenseless against the Banshee, and then it just becomes a spawn killing fest.

Unless, of course, they have the presence of mind to use either their banshee, smg's, or warthog.

If your team controls the rocket, than their banshee would be dead.
A good banshee pilot wouldn't die by SMGS
Warthog wouldn't take down a Banshee unless it was host.

Most people already know how to evade rockets with the banshee trick
Yes, but if a couple people gang up against the pilot it's a possibility
If the warthog was at the proper range then the turret could possibly.

You said the Banshee would be going after me, so it's attention wouldn't be on the rocket guy. Even if it can evade rockets, it'd still be banshee + rocket guy vs a lone banshee.
I told you if the pilot was good he wouldn't put himself in a situation where SMGs would kill him. SMG's don't have much effect on a target 100 feet in the air.
If anything was at proper range than anything could kill the banshee, but like I've said if the Banshee pilot was good than he wouldn't allow that to happen. Plus once the spawn killing starts, there'd be no chance to get in a vehicle besides maybe the Banshee.

Here's how it goes if you have a good team: Most of your team rushes rockets at start, one goes for sniper, one for banshee. If your team wins the battle over the rockets, then the banshee guy seeks out the opposing team's sniper (Should be at the portal, at the ammo, or maybe at their base). Now you're team has both snipers. The opponents vehicles would be destroyed at first battle over rockets if done right, opponent's banshee may still be at base. Snipers move in, start spawn killing them, while banshee and rocket guy limits their team's vehicles, while the remainder of the team focuses on objective, flag/bomb etc.
