I cant remeber were i read it but I heard that the banshee could boost just like the ghost. Is this true? if it is please tell me how it will work if both triggers are used for fuel rod and plasma bullets.

I assume you're right because in one of the screenshots, a banshee has a 'boost' trail similar to the ghost... :D

I think this is true. Perhaps the fule rod cannon will be the B button. It is on mine (i use boxer settings)

Of course, Waterworks as it stands, is a great map for Banshee flying and the new Banshee boost feature means that it's often the fastest way from base to base. There are however teleports to add to its complexity. But a long flag run across open ground with Blue Elites in pursuit can be a lonely and terrifying experience.


That was on When game magizines attack. Unless they got confused and put banshee instead of ghost.

Service Record

You can't fire any weapons while boosting, and the fuel rod gun might be takin off to balance things out a bit more for mp.

but in halo 2 the vehcihles will be destructable. Blow a chunk off the wing its harder for him to drive and crash into you, or use target tracking system with rocket launcher.

What about using the A-key for boost? All it did in Halo 1 was making the thing brake, which you could achieve by reversing anyway.

Bungie posted the same description of bashee-boosts on bungie.net, so it's pretty official.

So they are going to take the fuel rod gun away and add boost?

They didn't say, but i'd think they'll remove the brake on the A-key instead. Or at least I hope so.

another way to possibly boost would be to click one of the thumbsticks................though a lot of people complain about crouching with the thumbstick

The Xbox controller's triggers are touch sensitive. So what could be done is you tap L for the Fuel Rod Gun and hold it for a boost. Which is just fine.

Ya but that would mean you would fire the Fuel rod gun then you would boost after you get the trigger all the way down.

Yeah it's true. Most likely when you are in the ghost you'll have a charge up bar on the screen and you can push down on an anolog stick and use the boost.
