I guess they didn't figure out a way of limiting your maximum height in the Xbox version. Or they didn't have time.

yea i think your right but its to strange

-S

The multiplayer levels in Halo for XBox were never designed with Banshee's in mind. Gearbox had to tweak the maps to make them banshee-compatible.

And if you've played Sidewinder on PC, you can tell that it wasn't designed for banshees. =)

Escape will make me God.

The Banshee can be fun to use at times, but there's definitely a balance issue going on with it. As stated before, I don't think Bungie was happy with the Banshee in multiplayer and needed to tweak it more before leaving it in. It should be interesting to see how it's more balanced out in Halo 2.

The banshee's actually really easy to take down if you know what you're doing. Especially if you're playing a team game in which your team knows what it's doing. 3 MC's opening up on a banshee with plasma weapons or ARs will drop it pretty fast. Not to mention that the classic warthog with a compitant gunner can utterly destroy that thing. I'll agree that the Banshee is overpowered for any FFA mode, but in team games it poses little threat.

That reminds me of a fun way to take out banshees. Grab a RL or FRG and a pistol. Open fire with the pistol and wait for the pilot to turn to come at you, then switch to the "Big Guns" and nail them head on. It's really easy to peg them with RL or FRG when they're coming strait at you.
