Well, I have heard, I can't remember where, maybe here even, that they rushed the production of the Xbox version so it would come out when the Xbox came out so the owners would have a good game to play. So I believe Halo PC is what they originally intended to have in the Xbox version.

no it sucks.....ghost owns all.
tank is just another place to die, banshee is only good for ctf matches, and warthog is useless besides the fact that it is a decent diversion.

it takes no skill to kill in a banshee, you just fly aroung launch the fuel rod and freeze them then plow them into the ground. it is totally cheap. if you have to resort to it to kill, i pitty you, for you suck balls at halo.

Because the banshee fucing sucks dick thats why, if you play multiplayer on xbox and use anything besides warthogs, then you my friend or a noob, Tanks waste time, and ghosts end the game to quickly, if you play on pc and turn the banshees on, then you suck at halo, you need to stop playing now, and i hope you die.

your right...i only use the warthog too. the scorpion sucks,ghost is cheap but the warthog is cool...you'll never even learn how to play good if you get in a scorpion the whole time.

but to answer the originail question-heres why

cause thats how they made the game.

Tank is for if you suck balls at taking on absolutely anything.

Ghost is mainly to get to places quickly, which usually spoils things rather than making things better. I like to use it to pull little stunts off things.

Banshee (never used it on MP as I don't have HaloPC) seems to be an easy option to kill things. Pow! Pow! Boom! Crunch! and you've made another kill (that's the 2 shots with the guns, 1 shot with fuel rod and then crushing the enemy into the ground for all the normal people).

Warthog has to be the best overall. Quite nippy, got some protection in the form of a machine gun and passenger and carries people.

Does the retard who thinks the banshee is cheap wanna explain that one? you gotta get in close with the banshee to do any serious damage and yeah fine its fast but i can take one down with an AR at pretty long range cos its always easy to see against the sky and it has very little armour compared to the warthog which....if i remember correctly is indestructable, and has a gatling gun with unlimited ammo on the back so you can maneuver and shoot at anything you want (but you need help) with the banshee its you and them and they will hurl slugs and plasma until you go down or get away. Banshee? cheap? ha! haha! hahahahaha!
Yes, i think i made my point!

k first off, the warthog is the best, always will be, but the ghost is also kick ass, and the tank is not cheap, ist powerful and hard to kill true, but its also slow and a big target, so it evens out, and banshees are cool, not cheap.

  • 06.22.2004 1:50 PM PDT

Anyone who says tank is cheap, they aint cheap, you just don't know how to kill someone in them......Get a ghost, and get behind them, and shoot them until they die. Make sure you stay behind them, and the plasma will make it impossible for them to turn. There are two guys at my Halo Parties that always do this, and I always kill them with a ghost. If they're are no ghosts, get the rocket.
