in MP, if you got a Banshee you probably wouldn't last long because of people with battle rifles and homing rocket launchers. i mean in Halo 1, it took about 1 1/2 pistol clips on Legendary to kill a Banshee and it would suck if in H2 it was the same with the battle rifle/new pistol/covenant carbine. Please give me some feedback.

better than invincible banshees that can never ever ever be shot down unless you can snipe the person out of it-and that's assuming you don't have lag issues!!!

With the new boost on the banshees, people will be able to get out of trouble alot easier.

if anything it might be better, but i think there taking out the fuel rod cannon to put in the hyper drive for the boost ability, the boost should help getting away from thoose pesky seeker missles, i dont know about the battle rifles though

I will admit to that fact that Homing Rockets and Battle Rifles might weaken the Hull of the Banshee... But if you are a really good Pilot then you should definatly Fly these babies... DONT FORGET the Banshee has one Feature:

- Boosting - Any Covenant Vehicle.. (Ghost Banshee etc) can use the boosting feature to get it out of trouble before it is to late... Of Course if you like Big Guns and are experienced using them like me then your screwed.

I am also condfident Bungie will add a few more features to Balance out the power in the game..

i really like Banshees and i don't want them to be a death trap becuase the second you get in and someone blows you away with a battle rifle and you have no chance to live

maybe Bungie will make the Banshee destructable by rockets/tanks since in the Halo 1 manual it said they could only be destroyed be heavy arms fire

i hope they atleast toughen up the armor on the banshee. the worthog took about 4 rockets before it blew up on the multiplayer showing at E3 '04. but a banshee can only take one? psh.
