I've mentioned this idea before, but since noone noticed and there are a bunch of new people here, i've decided to post it again.

What about if we could do loop-the-loop's in banshee's? so you could have really confusing dogfights on online multiplayer or even when your playing singleplayer.

ive been wondering the same thing. i think it would be awesome.

that is the worst thing that they have added to halo pc, the banshees to MP. it is almost impossible to get anyone out of them, and whenever there is a dog fight, the 2 just do horizontal circles trying to hit each other, and nothing ever happens.

if they were to add full axis rotating in halo 2, it would eliminate alot of that.

If you've played crimson skies or secret weapons over normandy you'll know what I'm talking about. It's really cool how you can do all of the loop de loops and all of the tricks, but is it halo-ish??? That's the question we need to ask our selves. Theres more to life than being really really really ridiculously good at halo. ( not, I copied that from zoolander )

I think it will be really interesting if someone jumped off a ledge onto a banshee and then boarded it only to have the pilot falling to the rocky cliffs below.

I think that adding full axis rotation to Banshee driving would be trememndously helpful and fun

[Scenario]
You've got a Banshee on your tail and you two are flying straight, you do a loop-de-loop over him and end up behind him and blast him with a Fuel Rod shot close range...

Awesome? I think so.

[Edit] - Of course it would be Halo-ish, it would enhance the Banshee dogfighting which we know and love and would make it a whole lot better!

yeah! that would be cool!

but how would you kick someone out of a banshee when you yourself don't have anything to hold on to. The hood is pretty slipperly.

going upside-down is all that needs to be added to make those tricks happen. Not a really big change...

That would be cool, like if they had it control like Ace Combat 4(PS2, don't be hatin'). Great control with that.

That'd depend on the sensitivity of the controller more though.

I can kill MANY people out of a Banshee with a Pistol.

Most suck in them.

Are you on the ground or grasping for life or on the wing of a banshee 100 meters up when your shooting them?

Yes of course everyone can take out a Bansee with a pistol, but what im saying is sniping, as in sniper rifle + headshot = 1 hit kill and no more banshee

How can you headshot someone in a banshee? yet again, how did a grunt stick a grenade to me while i was in a banshee? And how do elites and the MC see out of the front of the banshee?

There are view screens inside the cocpit, if you read First Strike you should know that (FYI)

rotational axis thingy? cool! thatd be fun..it is true...i get dizzy flying around in circles, pointlessly shooting shots at the other banshee...the funny thing is you know your not accomplishing anything, yet you still just fly around in circles...

...so i think adding the rotational axis thingys a great idea.
