Damn if the FRG is gone the Banshee is just for tank kills and covert road-kill.

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

There are plenty of other buttons. So, basically, what I'm trying to say is.. Just because they mapped a "speed boost" feature to the left trigger doesn't mean they took out the plasma fuel blast thingy. I'm not saying that you were implying anything, though.

I like the blast thingy.

just because it's the sme button deosn't exactly mean they took it off, what if they just changed the button, the frg is a main part of the banshee other than that it's basically a ghost that floats higher...

doesnt it just give you a certain satisfaction when you blow up another banshee with the frg? its just one of those little things that make halo the best piece of entertainment of all time.

Actually it is still there
If you want to use the frg you have to touch the left trigger softly
and if you want to boost you have to hold it the trigger harder
these question has already been confirmed a long time ago
so there isn't any point to make a whole post out of it!

I never felt that the banshee could use a speed increase. I'd rather they just tune it up so the framerate stays steady as we fly in em.

Personally, I don't care. Without the Fuel Rod Cannon gone, the banshee would probably end up being pretty overpowered. Think about it. You could just float really, really high above the ground, firing big green bombs down towards the ground. Whether you actually hit something or not, it's going to be a pain in the ass to the enemy. At least this way you have to come somewhat close to your enemies.

all it is is when you boost you can't shoot but when you go normal speed you can shoot again

You know with vehicles capable of being blown to bits, the Banshee may not be as powerful as it once was. Also the FRG should stay. Without it the Banshee would be pretty pathetic, in both MP and SP.
